In the distant Realm of Rokugan
An Emperor lies dead
The Fate of an Empire, unknown
The Great Clans seek to fill the void
Crab - Loyal and Resiliant
Crane - Graceful and Cultured
Dragon - Enigmatic and Wise
Lion - Fearless and Strong
Mantis - Ambitious and Brave
Phoenix - Powerful and Blessed
Scorpion - Watchful and Patient
Unicorn - Brutal and Strange
But they are not alone
Lordless
Ronin seek to survive another day
Multitudes of
minor clans seek to better themselves
All while
Imperial forces try to keep the status quo
During such times, the peasants flock to their
temples
Praying for salvation
Not all battles are upon the field
The Imperial Court is a battle ground
Subterfuge is an Art
Words can be as lethal as any blade
The Empire is also under threat
The lure of the
Shadowlands is strong
Even the seemingly
incorruptable...
Succumb to it's
empty promises
Against all odds
The Empire survives
It's people...
Strong of will and fortitude
It's land...
Eterntally beautiful
Four heroes
Will enter this realm
It's destiny
One with their own
And destiny...
Waits for no one.
