Originally created back in the '90s, Rokugan was designed to have a rich and engaging universe, which they have adapted several times since its creation. The most famous of the adaptations would be the RPG Legend of the Five Rings, which in itself is an epic adventure that stretched across 14 books, telling the story of an epic quest in the Emerald Empire. This new book will essentially be the game's 5th Edition, as they are releasing the corebook (seen here) with a ton of info about the game's setting. With folklore inspired by the cultures of East Asia, this will have you adventuring to become a hero of the Emerald Empire.
