This account relays the results of the Kotei 2010 victories for the first week of the season, as well as the results of the online Imperial Assembly votes associated with the 2010 Mega-Game.
The Empire of Rokugan, assaulted from all sides, suffers terrible losses in the nationwide conflict known simply as the Plague War.
L5R players,
The Plague War – the Kotei portion of the Empire’s Glory MegaGame - has started.
Now is the time to look ahead at the rest of the MegaGame and especially at the ways for non CCG players to earn Points for their Clans and the Empire.
The Empire’s Glory MegaGame includes the following Events:
- Winter Court: Kyuden Gotei
- The 2010 Kotei MegaGame (Plague War)
- The Events of the After-Kotei Season (July 2010 to Topaz Championships in January 2011)
Over the course of the MegaGame, the Clans of Rokugan and the Empire itself have the opportunity to earn Honor and Glory points through a wide array of events in order to cure the Plague that affects the land and fend off the armies of Kali-Ma.
Glory Points are earned through Tournament play, barring rare exceptions.
Honor Points are earned through Winter Court, the Kotei MegaGame, and the various events that will happen in the after Kotei season (an annoucement will be forthcoming regarding those).
Discuss the announcement of the Points targets in our Forums
The new event kit has been added to the Event Support page. Check out the previews now! 
The Kotei Season is going to be simulated through a Map of Rokugan that will feature all the Icons that will help you, the players, understand and face the Threats laid forth Rokugan. If you have any questions pertaining to the elements presented below, check our Forums and we’ll answer them.
The Map:
The Map has 69 provinces, each having a code name associated to them. Provinces marked as P1 etc… are called Other Provinces. Provinces not marked as P1 etc… are called Home Provinces. Each Clan in the Game has 3 Home Provinces, which use the usual nomenclature for the Clans (CB for Crab, CN for Crane, DG for Dragon, LN for Lion, MN for Mantis, PX for Phoenix, SC for Scorpion, SP for Spider and UN for Unicorn).
This event will be held in conjunction with the release of Celestial 15 on March 22
This kit contains the Event Storyline (see below), Booster Draft Packs, and a Promotional Participation Card. Quantities were based on your Stronghold Store Level at the time of shipping. If you have any questions regarding running a draft event, please see the Alternate Format Rules at rules.l5r.com. Please note that Flashback cards are not legal for Draft play unless they are Celestial Edition legal. Read the full post >>
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. The Jeweled Champions, while generally less influential than the Emperor’s Chosen, are somewhat more glamorous to the average samurai, for the potential to achieve such a position is something that any individual can dream of for himself.
With the Empress and her court returned to the Imperial City, we take a look back to the seminal event of Winter Court, the marriage of the Empress and her consort, the hero Akodo Setai. This fiction incorporates events from the Winter Court forum event of 2009-2010.
