The Four Winds

"No man can know his own destiny until it is complete." - The Keeper

The reign of Toturi is at an end, and now it falls to his heirs to determine the future of the Empire. The Four Winds clash among themselves to determine who shall rule Rokugan. The Dark Lord Daigotsu makes plans to restore his evil god to his former glory. Yet even when a new Emperor is chosen, this is not the end of Rokugan's troubles. Iuchiban, master of the Bloodspeakers, escapes his prison. A Rain of Blood falls upon the Empire, corrupting all those with sinister intent. The descendant of Shinsei returns, hoping to restore enlightenment to the heroes of the Empire, but has he arrived too late?
