He takes precautions to see to the safety of Hantei Sotorii, all the while watching Hantei the 38th for signs of possession. BAYUSHI SHOJU READS THE PROPHECY OF UIKKU Bayushi Shoju receives the prophecy, but has the wisdom to realize it cannot be averted. Through the actions of the ronin interloper Ketsudo, the Scorpion army is foiled and the Hare Clan is saved. YEAR 1123 THE YOTSU OTOKODATE FORMED THE SCORPION ATTACK THE HARE CLAN After Soshi Yukio attacks and is killed by Usagi Ozaki, a Scorpion army under the command of Bayushi Tomaru arrives at Shiro Usagi. (*This is not the same entity as the canonical First Oni.)įifth Century (401-500 IC) YEAR 429 GUSAI FAMILY NAME AWARDED The correct year for this event is 429, and all references to Yugozohime should actually refer to the Emperor. For his crimes, Hida Kisada is personally executed by Hantei the 38th. But it is truly turned when the Dark Moto arrive, under the command of Moto Tsume himself, and join the fight against the Crab Clan. The tide of battle is evened when Hida O-Ushi and the Mantis Clan turn against the Crab. Hantei the 38th is rescued from an attack by Oni no Shida (the First Oni*), but not before it secretly possessed him. Hida Yakamo is blinded, and the oni he was bound to is destroyed, but he escapes carrying the Ancestral Sword of the Crab. These two battles see the deaths of Emerald Champion Doji Satsume, Hida Sukune, Isawa Tadaka, and Isawa Kozan. The Crab were joined by various creatures of the Shadowlands under the command of Kuni Yori. Influenced by a corrupt Kuni Yori, Hida Kisada marches the majority of the Crab Clan army through a harsh winter to Otosan-Uchi and Kyuden Seppun (where the Emperor held Winter Court) in an attempt to seize the throne.

The History of Rokugan The past may be immutable, but history is recorded by men with agendas and flawed perspectives. THE BOOK OF AIR “Brave men may be forgotten brave deeds never so.” – THE TAO OF SHINSEI The purpose of this document, in every edition, has always been the very spirit of the mission statement behind Legend of the Five Rings, Fourth Edition: “L5R your way.” Some things may look familiar - as they are lifted and adapted from previous editions of the game - while some things will be entirely new. Every effort has been made to add, and not subtract from the canonical rules of the game, but occasionally changes had to be made. Stated more plainly, this is a collection of house rules both supplemental and superseding. That which follows is heresy, in the sense that it often contradicts that which is written and commonly accepted about Rokugan and the Legend of the Five Rings. But be warned.some of these truths are lies.” – IKOMA KEIJI My only tool to accomplish this is the truth. Perhaps you've already seen something of the truth of the world, and cannot reconcile what you have seen with what you have been told. But maybe you knew that, and you came here seeking answers.
But as I am both historian and teller of tales, it is my duty to teach others what I have learned. Some would have my head just for knowing the secrets I do. Rest yourself and let me share with you a portion of my knowledge. I am Ikoma Keiji, an omoidasu of the Lion Clan. Whether you be samurai or heimin, let me open my door to you.
