Rokugan has never belonged to humans alone. Ages before the dawn of the Empire, great civilizations built by non-human races such as the naga and the ogres marked the land, and although they are gone now, their descendants still dwell upon the earth and in the seas. Since the catastrophic Fall of Fu Leng, oni — the spawn of Jigoku and their terrible offspring — have walked the Shadowlands, warred against the Empire without cease, and even been summoned into Rokugan itself. And of course, a dazzling variety of creatures great and small have always been a part of this world — some fearsome, some benign, some visitors from other Spirit Realms, such as the playful kitsune and the terrifying tsuno.

This is their story, and no understanding of Rokugan would be complete without them. Creatures of Rokugan: Third Edition is a comprehensive catalogue of the remarkable creatures and monsters that populate Rokugan and the Shadowlands, presented to conform to Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game Third Edition rules. You will all manner of creatures, spirits, oni and ghosts here, from the sorcerous ashalan to the bizarre, but once-proud zokujin, and even more.

It is also a crucial resource for players who want to understand how their characters — or the NPCs whom they encounter — are expected to act, and think and feel, and how they are shaped by the world in which they live.

Above all, Emerald Empire: The Legend of the Five Rings Companion is a comprehensive guide to the world of Rokugan, its wonders and its commonplaces. It is a rules supplement that requires the Legend of the Five Rings Role-Playing Game Third Edition core rulebook to make full use of it, but it also contains by itself much of interest to any Legend of the Five Rings fan.

To the north of the Emerald Empire, there lies a mysterious land called the Burning Sands. In an extraordinary city known as the Jewel of the Desert, great empires clash and deadly intrigues abound.

To the rest of the Empire the Burning Sands are a gaijin enigma, but as the exile of the Unicorn, and later the Scorpion have proven the destinies of these two lands are intertwined. Little do they realize that soon the dangers facing the people of the desert will also face the Clans of the Emerald Empire.

The Burning Sands setting has exerted a powerful pull on the imagination of gamers since the 1998 debut of the Legend of the Burning Sands Collectible Card Game. As in the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game, this book allows you the chance to live out all-new adventures in a land of mystery and magic.

Far from the fields of war, the Great Clans of Rokugan struggle against each other behind the walls of elegant palaces and amidst the theater of great public events. They understand that politics and diplomacy — the arts of the court — are no less important to their ongoing fight for power and influence than the sword and the bow.

But as with war, the subtleties of court play a more prominent strategic role for some Clans than for others. Masters of Court views three such Clans — the elegant Crane, the cunning Scorpion and the relatively new and enigmatic Spider — through the lens of their practice of diplomacy. One chapter is also devoted to the Otomo Family and their relationship to the Great Clans.

"Let the Kakita fret over their flower arrangements and leave the Isawa to their scrolls; we know that only steel and courage can preserve the Empire." - Crab proverb

Of the Great Clans of Rokugan, three have always embraced the art of war with a dedication that their peers cannot match: the Crab, who keep the Shadowlands at bay by sheer force of arms; the Lion, whose founder wrote the definitive Rokugani treatise on military strategy; and the Unicorn, whose tradition of exceptional horsemanship and unconventional ways have made them a formidable opponent on the battlefield. Masters of War views each of them through their contributions to Rokugani military practice and history.

Masters of War reveals the soul of three of Rokugan's Great Clans and describes them in unprecedented detail. It is a crucial resource for anyone interested in the Crab, the Lion or the Unicorn - or indeed, anyone interested in the Rokugani art of war.

Rokugan is a place of enchantment, as well as honor and courage. The Elemental spirits known as the kami inhabit every place and every thing, and those who are blessed with the gift of communicating directly with them can tap into their power and unleash forces that others can scarcely imagine.

The Complete Exotic Arms Guide is a compendium of weapons used by samurai, and others, in Rokugan beyond the ever-present katana. From the tetsubo-wielding legions of the Crab Clan to the elite jitte style practiced by the Doji magistrates to the bizarre gaijin weaponry mastered by the Unicorn, this book contains dozens of new and improved weapons ready for use in any d20 campaign.
