Four Winds

"No man can know his own destiny until it is complete." - The Keeper
The reign of Toturi is at an end, and now it falls to his heirs to determine the future of the Empire.

The Four Winds clash among themselves to determine who shall rule Rokugan. The Dark Lord Daigotsu makes plans to restore his evil god to his former glory. Yet even when a new Emperor is chosen, this is not the end of Rokugan's troubles. Iuchiban, master of the Bloodspeakers, escapes his prison. A Rain of Blood falls upon the Empire, corrupting all those with sinister intent. The descendant of Shinsei returns, hoping to restore enlightenment to the heroes of the Empire, but has he arrived too late?

The Lotus sourcebook recounts a tumultuous time in Rokugan's history, the rise of the Four Winds and the reign of the Bloodspeaker, Iuchiban. Players of the Legend of the Five Rings CCG are familiar with these events as the Gold and Diamond Story Arcs. This sourcebook not only contains the important people and events of this era, but also updates events for campaigns set in the Lotus/Dark Lotus period.

• Thrilling fantasy setting based on the myths and culture of Japan, China, and
  other Asian nations.
• A new generation of the beloved Legend of the Five Rings roll-and-keep system.
• Recounts the events of the popular Gold and Diamond Edition Story Arcs.

Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game Third Edition

Return to Rokugan, where honor is a force more powerful than steel.
For one thousand years, the Empire of Rokugan has stood as a bastion of nobility, honor, and virtue. These lands are ruled by the samurai, powerful heroes who carry the katana and wakizashi as their badge of rank. Eight Great Clans vie with one another for supremacy over these lands, all under the eye of the mighty Emperor. And to the south, the Shadowlands, the eternal enemy of Rokugan, waits for the next opportunity to disrupt all that these foolish mortals have built. It is a land of intrigue, wonder, and adventure.

Welcome to the third iteration of the Legend of the Five Rings Role-Playing Game. This player's guide will provide players and GM's with all of the setting, culture, and rules needed to create characters in the Legend of the Five Rings world and stage ongoing campaigns in Rokugan. While this book contains an updated version of the familiar rules, conversion rules will be included so that none of the many previous volumes set in this world will ever be obsolete.

The best Asian style fantasy setting roleplaying game of this generation returns to its roots with its release this summer. Legend of the Five Rings 3rd Edition returns focus to the Roll and Keep(R&K) system originally released in 1996. Conveying a deeper sense of realism, the R&K system best simulates the tension, reality, and lethality of Samurai drama. Look for it more information in the coming weeks here at L5R.com.
