The letters of Valdulech

To my dearest,

These are the records of my dishonourable misfortunes and why I do not regret.

Darkness in my soul
Like dark trees in Uberwald
Yet I love you both.

Once I was a young man in service of the Lord Kimori. His humble personal aid and man servant I was. My daily life revolved around setting clothes, calligraph papers and plan my masters personal engagements. Those days were lived on the Counterweight Continent. Where gold is plenty and honour more valuable than the air we breathe.

The Lord of the Kimori was a good master for his servants and his treatment of me was no exception. Due to my position however I was well aware how important it was for the Kimori to do well in the game of politics and houses. And so I gave all my life to serve the Kimori.

Unfortunately our enemies plotted in the dark and together they ensured the downfall of the Kimori, not by crippling it, but by treacherous plotting and betrayal.

Our honour became stained and we were cast out from the Empire as the Emperor himself declared: all Kimori must be hunt down and slain. Our enemies listened very well that day and bloodshed followed.


Many sad events followed, yet also many great deeds happened to ensure the Kimori Clan would survive. I have killed for my Lord in the past and I certainly am willing to do so again. If I knew it would help him protect the Clan. My clan. I am Kimori, as were my father and grandfather before me.

It is difficult to explain for those outside the family, but it was home.

The Kimori that survived the onslaught fled across the sea to Ankh Morpork. In the years that followed my Lord Kimori tried to rebuild the family. In those days I was his trusted right hand, having protected him in many occasion. We prepared for the day that we would be strong enough, so we could return home and reclaim our position. Either by proving the treason or by overthrowing the Emperor.

Our enemies had heard from our sanctuary in Ankh Morpork and one dark night a successful assassination resulted in the death of the Lord and his Lady. Chaos erupted as the clan fell apart. Kimori that had survived, suddenly disappeared into the streets. I had failed to protect my Lord! There are days I wish I had died that night alongside them.

Some time before I had met a gypsy on the gypsies fair. She was the sweetest creature and when I first laid my eyes on her, she seemed like a rose of beauty. Her name was Lola Dulech and she was the daughter of the gypsy leader. After the collapse of the clan, it was with her I fled. I joined the gypsies and we returned to the dark forests of Uberwald.

From our love you were born, my daughter. I have been able to protect you and live my life happily until the end of my days. Yet I feel sorrow and loss, because I lost my identity as a Kimori. The spilled blood is colouring my dreams and nightmares alike.

If you read this, I must have passed away. Alas! I never regretted you and Lola. But I regret I have not been able to restore our last name, the one we rightfully deserve.

There’s one thing I want to ask you, my sweet child, go to Ankh Morpork and once there inform at the Weapon Masters’ Court, seek the Taiki – if he is still alive today – and join his cause as rightful Kimori. Revenge our memory through service, like your ancestors before you.

Your old father,

Shimobe Kimori

Kimori Family Clan Update

Slight corrections in this update. Kyoshi sold her slave off to a dogfood company and married in secret with her gufnorkian beloved Soùter. (Mind the accent.)

Meanwhile Ryuu ran into his long lost half-brother Kaito Kimori. The clan now takes care of him and protects him from the agents of the Empire. Their days of hunting down Kaito are over.

We are always happy to welcome new and old Kimori into the clan, but sometimes it can be saddening as well. The bitter memories of our betrayal and the costly sacrifice that followed as the Empire was brought down upon us, have left scars too deep for outsiders to understand.

As the Kimori clan grows, so will our power. And one day we will not hesitate to strike back and redeem our former homelands. To claim again what was ours. Until then, however, we wish our enemies interesting times.

Kimori Family Clan Update

The latest update of the family tree. A bit on the late side, but an update indeed. The tree now shows the difference between the vital members of the family and those who passed away. All relations are reasoned from the current Lord of Kimori: Taiki.






With the addition of Valdulech, maid of the Kimori household and lover of her manly barbarian Uhr, the family tree has grown a bit more.

The second part is the first effort to portray the more advancing, complicated relations within the clan. The current effort shows the relation between the council members and those who serve the clan - and are therefore Kimori - but do not have any bloodties (yet) with the family. These are listed under the Special Forces section.

We are now awaiting the second effort, which will hopefully make a lot more sense. So stay tuned!

A meeting with an odd stranger

Kyoshi Kimori has an idea
You get a purple baton from a pocket in the black backpack.
You hold a purple baton in your right hand.
You find it much more difficult to perform tongues because you are using the purple baton as an external focus for the ritual. However, this is partially mitigated by the fact that you are near a sacred shower.
You kneel and spread your arms in benediction.
You pray for the Apostles' Gift.
Loudly now, you chant the names of Pishe in the many languages of the Discworld.
You humbly request the power to spread Pishe's Word.

Kimori Family Clan Update

Arrein Kimori has joined the family, he's the property of Kyoshi. Nonetheless, give him a very warm welcome into the family and behold his exciting tale of how it came to pass:



Flames sparked into being as a match was lit. With precision it moved to the end of the cigar. A few second later smoke started to rise up towards the ceiling of the casino. Arrein O' Pianos grinned at the lady across the table. Her black hair was elegantly pinned up and contrasted with her white outfit. The white silk gloves firmly held the cards, while her agatean eyes looked back over them at the thief.

"I raise once more. 40 Genuan ducats." He tossed some coins on the growing pile at the center of the table.

She smiled politely and nudged the man standing next to her, who started shoving the right amount of coins towards the pile for her.

"You know," he took a sip from his beer, "today is my lucky day. Which means, I am going to get lucky..." He smiled a vile smile at her.

"You are starting to run out of coins, mister O'Pianos," said the girl.

"I could always get some new ones. Money is the least of *my* worries." His eyes locked with her. "If you know what I mean." He winked.

She chuckled. "I'm a Pishe priest, darling. My fate is in her hands. The stakes have been set, it's time to call the cards."

He grinned widely and displayed the cards in front of him. They were indeed a magnificant set. He leaned back. "So, what time do you..."

She lowered her hand and her cards were pressed on top of his. "I believe this combination is 1 point higher than yours, isn't it?" He blinked.

"That can't be.... impossible," he muttered.

"What is impossible, mister O'Pianos?" she politely asked.

"The cards... I..." he stuttered.

"...counted them," she finished his sentence. "And you also hid three of them in your left sleeve, another in your jacket and I saw an ace tugged away in your collar, mister O'Pianos. Is there anything you wish to explain to these fine genuan gentlemen in suits who have been so keen to observe us and ensured that everyone at the table followed the same rules?"

There was a stunned silence at the other side of the table.

"Excellent. Then you are now mine. Shut your mouth, stand up and follow me." As she spoke, she rose from her chair. "Please put the money on my account," she told the dealer. She left the table, but after a few feet turned towards Arrein again. "Come along now."

The thief grumbled and followed her example, keeping an eye on the 'genuan gentlemen' as he did so. Options of escape seemed few if none and appearantly he lost more today than just a few coins.

"Are you coming or not?" asked Kyoshi impatiently as she waited for the trickster. She tapped her foot as he approached.

"Right, where to milady?" The sarcasm was kept close with its razor sharpness for entertaining purposes.

"Well mister Arrein, I own you now. I will break you and then reforge you as I see fit." She paused. "Into a true Kimori."
