Stunning art and illustration from the Japanese-inspired fantasy realms of Rokugan, setting for the famed Legend of the Five Rings series of games
For more than a quarter of a century, Rokugan has provided the setting for one of tabletop gaming’s most beloved sagas, the Legend of the Five Rings. Now, the land of Rokugan, its Imperial rulers and the Great Clans who vie for their favor are set center-stage in this lavish full-color artbook. The Emerald Empire is captured in an age of strife and upheaval – war, intrigue, natural calamities and celestial turmoil – through the very finest artwork from the Legend of the Five Rings series of games. Iconic pieces from the L5R roleplaying and collectible card games are presented in their full glory, taking the game’s many fans and lovers of fantasy art on a journey through this extraordinary fantasy world.
The realm of Rokugan: a land of samurai and mystics, mad dragons and divine beings – a land where honor is stronger than steel. The clans have defended and served the Emperor for a thousand years both on the battlefield and in Rokugan’s courts. While conflict and political intrigue divides the clans, the true threat awaits in the darkness of the Shadowlands, behind the vast Kaiu Wall. There, in the twisted wastelands, an evil corruption endlessly seeks the downfall of the empire. The rules of Rokugan’s society are absolute, and the Great Clans must always maintain their honor, lest they lose everything in the pursuit of glory.
