The Shiba are a notable clan affiliated with the Phoenix. They are recognized for their spiritual connection and commitment to upholding harmony and spiritual integrity. Their influence is intertwined with significant events, such as the Emerald Championship and the tensions between the Lion and Unicorn clans.
In 1123, the Shiba clan's presence is felt during key events, including the aftermath of the death of former Emerald Champion Doji Satsume and the organization of the Emerald Championship. A stranger delivered packages bearing the Shiba family crest for Doji Setsuna and her companions, indicating ongoing connections with the Crane and Scorpion clans. The clan is also mentioned through actions of a revived group that noted a shrine with subtle Lion Clan markings, suggesting a broader spiritual context. The Shiba's legacy continues to be shaped by the unfolding political landscape, including the recent peace deal between the Lion and Crane clans following the burning of the Crane embassy.
