"Sometimes horrors are caused by mortal men,
horrors so great, the kings of demons themselves,
were they present, would stand up and applaud."
-- Doji Satsume
Far from the Emperor's capital, in the
Spine of the World Mountains, lies the provincial Ojatara Valley. Here terraces
of rice dot the mountain towns, forests ring the valleys, and jade and sulfur
mines draw the attention of daimyo. The peasants of the Scorpion and Unicorn
fraternize openly this year, for now they have something in common.
They are refugees.
In the remote end of Rokugan, an unsanctioned war has burst forth between two shugenja families. The Soshi, masters of illusion, and the arrogant Iuchi who command the Fortunes like servants, each claim the lands between their provinces. How can you dispense justice when the truth is buried in fields of corpses?
The Emerald Champion, hands filled by the war between Lion and Crane, entrusts a team of Imperial magistrates to separate the armies and enforce his rule. In a land without witnesses, you are the key figures of a tribunal of war. You determine which crimes were avoidable, and which were necessary. You are the ones who draw the line between glory and atrocity. And you are the ones marked for death. For when you uncover secrets, you must be prepared for what you find.
What will it cost you to restore order?
