Dedication
This book is dedicated to all the fans of Legend of the Five Rings,
who have been with us for years or days, who travel to
major events or never leave their town. You all make
Rokugan what Is today, and we thank you.

“The Empire of Rokugan has strayed too far from the path of Heaven,

and now the gods above will rain down their Light upon us…”
