| Event | Description | |
| Samurai Championships Qualifier | Whispers of the Dying Moon Lady Moon, ever an enigmatic and wrathful entity, has been challenged for her position atop the Celestial Order by the Obsidian Dragon, a truly divine entity. Only one can hold the position of Moon, however, and the struggle between the two will leave one the victor, and one the defeated. The defeated will fall to earth, shattered and broken, and be discovered there in their last moments by a single mortal, who shall hear secrets unlike any ever heard by mortals, and receive a final blessing. The winner of this tournament may select any one living personality currently aligned to his faction. This individual will be present at the side of the defeated as they breathe their final breath, and learn the secrets they has to impart before they passes on, as well as receiving their final blessing. |

| Imperial Yojimbo, Part 3 | Like his friend and mentor Seppun Kiharu, the Miya family daimyo Miya Shoin has come to see the value in creating closer bonds between the Imperial families and the Great Clans, if only to undo some of the damage done by the Lady Otomo Hoketuhime prior to her death. In an attempt to create such a bond, Shoin has chosen to invite a worthy samurai from the Great Clans to serve as his chief yojimbo, in hopes that doing so will build not only an understanding, but friendship between the Emperor’s heralds and the men and women who serve in his clans.
The winner of this tournament may select any one non-experienced, non-unique, tournament legal personality from their faction. This individual will be invited and accept the invitation to become the chief yojimbo for Miya Shoin, the Imperial Herald. Clan Champions and family daimyo are not eligible to be selected. They have too much do to! |
