    The advisor title doesn't specifically give you power - but as you are 'advisor to [insert-name-here]-sama' you get some of their authority by proxy. I believe an advisor can appoint a Yojimbo bodyguard, too.

    If you're still a daimyo, you have authority over whatever town or castle or vassal family you are daimyo of.

    Thank you for your help, very appreciated!

    We have a specific example, in fact.

    Doji Satsume was Crane Clan Champion, Emerald Champion and Doji Daimyo.

    Toshimoko and Yoshi talked (pestered) him into resigning the former post in favour of his daughter Hotaru, but he held all three for a non-trivial period of time.

    The Imperial Advisor doesn't really have specific servants. They (I could say 'she' as both the ones we're aware of are female) exist to provide the Emperor with a private confidante they can discuss matters with without the rules and protocol of formal court.

    They have a huge amount of influence due to daily access to the Emperor, but we haven't really seen any sign they have a specific role or much legal power outside this in the way that, say, the Chancellor (who chairs the court and decides what petitions make it onto the agenda) does.

    oh yes, i'm currently in a game where i'm getting the title of advisor, i'm a daymio of the miya but now i'm just staying as advisor and i don't know exactly what are my servants or my power in the imperial bureaucracy

    I recently had serious doubts about the imperial adviser and the emperor's chosen ones in general:

    -> Who is under the command of the counselor (his servants) and where his power resides in general.

    -> When you are nominated to be chosen by the emperor, do you lose your daymio title or does he remain?

    Anyone who can answer, I would appreciate it very much.

    I'm having some issues about hierarchy:

    -How the power of Emperor's Chosen work in Rokugan> I can command who? , What powers do i have?

    -Being an Imperial Advisor for exemple>I can demand from Crane samurai? , How my powers/status work in Clans, Imperial Families and other Emperor's Chosen?

    Thank you all

    If it was the Emperor himself, then...well, he'd be the Emperor. Even the most senior and revered sensei in the dojo would treat him as such, considering it an enormous honor to have the Son of Heaven in his presence to begin with. That said, a reasonable Emperor would probably say something along the lines of, I'm here to learn from you, so do what you need to do to teach me...or he wouldn't likely have gone there in the first place. It would still be done with the utmost respect, of course, but the sensei would do whatever possible to honor the Emperor's wishes. Now, an unreasonable Emperor--like, say, Hantei XVI, the Steel Chrysanthemum--could easily make such a situation a living **** for the sensei and everyone else around. Such is life in Rokugan when the Emperor is around.

    I guess a related question is, would the Emperor go to a dojo to be trained in stuff to begin with? Probably not--at least to some random dojo somewhere in the Empire--but he certainly could, if he wanted to. Because he's, you know, the Emperor...

    It would be similar for the Emperor's son. However, the Emperor (dad) stands to be a moderating influence in this case, since he would likely take a dim view of his son being a jerk, because that reflects badly on the Hantei name. Whether he actually DOES or not is another matter, of course...but he certainly could. As noted, having the Emerald Champion as the son's sensei simplifies things, because it would be much more of a regular master-student relationship; the EC has that kind of status.

    So...kinda fuzzy answer, because it's an unusual situation to which everyone would have to adapt the regular protocols around the Emperor.

    In case of being the son of the emperor, I am in doubt also in the reverence, who would do the greater reverence, the emperor would do or the sensei? (go with your head to the floor or go to the waist?)

    The sourcebooks will add more schools (and families and clans) as they go on.

    To date, the only imperial schools are the Miya Herald & Cartographer, Otomo Schemer, and Seppun Astrologer & Palace Guard.

    Which schools did you have in mind?

    Note that a member of the Imperial Herald school is not the Imperial Herald (not sure if this is what you mean).

    As and when we get stuff like Emerald Champion, Imperial Chancellor, Imperial Advisor, etc, they will most likely come into the game as titles rather than schools.

    I was looking at imperial chancellor, imperial advisor and others schools

    Hello everyone, I searched the schools a lot and only found imperial herald, for other chosen ones, I did not find the rest of the schools.
    If anyone can find this information or the book where it is, thank you very much (4th edition)

    I am very interested in the imperial families. One of the biggest doubts I have is in the economic relation, how much they earn (Daimyō Miya, Otomo, Seppun) per year / month, how does the resources of these families work, does it take tribute from any clan? (If someone can reply, thank you)
