The Empire rejoices. A new Empress has ascended the throne, mandated and empowered by the Heavens to restore the sacred balance threatened by man’s folly and greed. But dark forces gather beyond the borders of Rokugan, bent on revenge, determined on conquest.
As the northern provinces fall under the onslaught of a seemingly insuperable foe, the greatest heroes of the Empire – you – will make the decisions that determine the outcome of the story. You will be faced by betrayal, the machinations of entire Clans, and the possibility that Rokugan’s only salvation lies with its greatest enemy, against whom even the mightiest sword may not prevail.
Welcome to Legend of the Five Rings, where honor is a force more powerful than steel.
Legend of the Five Rings (L5R) is a world of heroic samurai, elemental priests, and sharp-minded courtiers.
Sworn to one of nine Clans, each with its own unique philosophy on warfare, you will pit your wits against your rivals for the glory of your daimyo and the honor of victory. With an interactive storyline that advances each week, the decks you build and the tournaments you win can change the fortunes of your self, your Clan, even the Empire itself.
Celestial Edition is the exciting new base set for the Legend of the Five Rings CCG (collectible card game). The strategy, tactics, and strong Clan themes that are the hallmarks of L5R are in full evidence, and more accessible to new players than ever before. We have designed this 350+ card set to appeal to all players of L5R, from the campaign-hardened veteran to the samurai neophyte who is drawing his katana for the first time.
This site is the gateway to Rokugan, and will direct you as you find out more about Legend of the Five Rings and Celestial Edition. From which Clan suits you most, to the latest stories, to the support programs that will make your experience even more enjoyable, you can learn about the collectible card game, the role playing game, the upcoming board game, and more.
