A tempestuous blast from the east,
Has bowed the forest of nations,
Dashed blighted boughs aground,
Scattered every hoofed and winged beast.
Brothers and sisters don White Turbans.
You would have said, "Were every lily,
To ever grow be arrayed together in ranks,
Still it would not match this ivory host!"
Where are the neglected people of talent?
Just as the nocked arrow must take flight,
They must pick up the pen and grasp the sword,
On the field of merit the khwarrah will alight.
A game of high operatic political drama and sick swordfights using the Legend of Five Rings 5E ruleset.

System and Character Development
General notes
The game will be using L5R 5E, with some minor houserules to reflect different narrative priorities from L5R's replication of Shakespearean Tragedy.
