In The Harbinger, there was a misprint which had some copies of Stolen Property printed with a Dynasty back instead of a Fate back. We apologize for this misprint and are creating a special offer for you. Players with Koku Bank accounts may exchange their copies of Dynasty-backed Stolen Property’s for koku, at the rate of 3 koku per Stolen Property. AEG will accept these cards for koku for the remainder of the year, until Decemeber 31st, 2010. Thank you.

Soon Celestial Edition 15 will be released and many players may be wondering what these old cards are all about. To celebrate L5R’s 15 years of success, we have included a 12th card into each booster pack of CE 15, free of charge. This card is a Flashback card and is one of 110 different Flashback cards in this set. Flashbacks look back at L5R’s history and shows some of the most important parts of it, both in the card game and in the story.

None of the Flashbacks are Celestial Edition legal, you will notice their lack of a Celestial bug…

In the Empire of Rokugan, there are two groups of samurai who are exalted above all others. The first is the collection of individuals known as the Emperor’s Chosen, men and women chosen directly by the Emperor or Empress to serve the throne directly, including the Imperial Advisor, the Imperial Chancellor, the Shogun, the Voice of the Emperor, and the Imperial Treasurer. The other such group is the Jeweled Champions, a group of samurai who ascend to the highest levels of society through achievement, typically by succeeding at a great tournament held among the most gifted individuals in the whole of Rokugan. These individuals include the Emerald Champion, the Jade Champion, the Amethyst Champion, the Ruby Champion, and the Topaz Champion.
