Each card is a Scorpion Clan personality or Stronghold (with the black back) from Gold Edition to present, including cards from promo sets such as Yogo. It was designed in the shape of the Scorpion Clan Mon meant to represent the Clans efforts from when AEG got the game back, to present. It had a doubly special meaning (as I found out later) considering they are changing the face of L5R with the new card design, so in a way this banner was a symbol of the Scorpion Clan for a "generation".
I was highly honored it was as well received as it was, and gifted it to AEG on Sunday morning before me and my group had to leave, to do with as they will (hopefully hanging on the wall of the AEG office so the Scorpion shall always look down upon the future of L5R).
The pole was basic piping, a wooden rod was used as the main support. Each card had to have holes punched on each corner and yarn was used in the cross-stich on the corners of each card. Over 200 yards of yarn were used on the banner.
