I'm sorry if this is answered somewhere but I used the forum search and couldn't find it. Anyway with the release of The Tachizake it got me wondering something: If a personality dies with followers attached (who weren't touched by the effect that destroyed the personality) are said followers "destroyed" as well, thus I can throw them on Noah's ark, or are they just discarded? Thanks for your help and pardon my ignorance if this is already written somewhere.
Followers and Destroyed Personalities vs The Tachikaze
A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Per the CR on Attachments, "When a Personality leaves play, all his attached cards leave play in the same manner as he did. This leaving play is a rulebook effect contingent on the effect that took the Personality out of play, so the attachments are destroyed "for" (as a consequence of) the original effect, but not "by" the original effect."
Since the rulebook is destroying the followers in the situation you describe, and the Tachikaze requires resolution of an action whose effects destroyed them, the Tachikaze won't save them.
Card reads... "After an action resolves whose effect destroyed your Follower with a Gold cost of 1 or more: You may put it face-up under this card."
Does this mean that each time I have a personality die with a follower attached to him that I may put that follower under this card and re-attach it to a new personality next turn?

No. As the answer above states, the Tachikaze only triggers when the action's effect destroy the follower. For instance, a melee attack targeting the follower. An action's effect that only destroys the Personality is not also the effect that destroys the follower; in this case it's the rulebook's effect that destroys the follower, and the Tachikaze cannot save the follower.
