	Rokugan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rokugan is the fictional empire which is the main power in the Legend of the Five Rings setting, the basis for the Legend of the Five Rings Collectible Card Game and Legend of the Five Rings Role-Playing Game, both from Alderac Entertainment Group.
		The Shadowlands border Rokugan to the south and south-west.
		In the world of Rokugan, there are many different and extraordinary creatures roaming the lands, and humans are not the only beings to have developed a civilization.

	Rokugan - L5r: Legend of the Five Rings
		Rokugan is the focus of the Legend of the Five Rings setting.
		The largest groups, and the largest areas, are controlled by the clans of Rokugan -- groups of families descended largely from a common ancestor who have inherited control of their respecive tracts of land, as well as the people living on them.
		The Emperor of Rokugan has no clan of his own, but he does have his own family, currently the Toturi, and three families that serve his interests directly: the Miya family, the Otomo family, and the Seppun family.

	Legend of the Five Rings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rokugan is based on feudal Japan with influences from other east Asian cultures.
		Legend of the Five Rings is set primarily in the fictional land of Rokugan, based on feudal Japan with influences from other east Asian cultures, where samurai, shugenja, and trained courtiers vie for control of the noble courts.
		Rokugan itself is home to mostly humans, divided into a society based on clans, with eight Great Clans and various minor ones, all under the rule of Emperor Toturi III.

	Rokugan meets... Commodore Perry? - Page 6 - RPGnet Forums (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Against a techologically superior foe, should Rokugan be motivated by some urge to maintain what they are, they'd have to fall back excessively on their particular strengths and make creative use of them, but it would be possible, if bought with a lot of blood.
		I don't think Rokugan has the resource to fight both a technology superior foe on one side and the Shadowlands on the other and win on both fronts even if its wholly united on both fronts, and I further find it unlikely that they'd be united on the foreign front.
		Nevertheless, a Rokugan where battalions of low-ranking Crab peasants or footsoldiers line up to shoot down the onrushing goblin hordes while the Legendary Epic Samurai Heroes deal with the higher end nasties is a very different one from the current one.

	Emperor of Rokugan - L5r: Legend of the Five Rings
		The Emperors of Rokugan began with the first Hantei, son of Amaterasu and Onnotangu, and victor of the Tournament of the Kami.
		After the Tournament, Hantei was declared ruler of all Rokugan, but this was not truly so until the reign of his grandson, Hantei Ningi, when the Imperial court and post of Emerald Champion were established.
		Since the time of Hantei X, the emperors of Rokugan upon their coronations have dropped their personal names and keep only the name of their dynasty, to reaffirm their noble blood and right to rule.

	Rokugan Culture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		The society of Rokugan is a very polite one, and very firmly divided into three strata; your equals, your superiors, and your inferiors.
		Honesty is not always a virtue in Rokugan; while bushido teaches complete sincerity, a samurai is expected to lie to protect his family, his lord or his honor.
		The girls and, to a lesser extent, boys are indentured to the house at a very early age, and for most of them the only hope for a better future is to be able to pay off their indentures and marry, or perhaps save enough to become okasan (owner) of their own house some day.

	Don Bassingthwaite: Fantasy, Dark Fantasy
		There is a world outside Rokugan - the Unicorn clan wandered there for eight hundred years on a mission assigned by the first emperor, encountering desert nomads, ancient cities of sorcerers, and jungle kingdoms before returning to the Emerald Empire - but it is of no concern to the Rokugani.
		Both the Crab and Lion clans, for example, are concerned with battle, but there are few similarities in their customs: the Lion clan is painfully bound by pride and ancient honour, while the Crab is far less concerned with the niceties of life in the face of holding back the monsters of the Shadowlands.
		Sprinkled through the books of the roleplaying game are stories from all periods of Rokugan's history, often inserted as bits of colour text when discussing ancestral spirits or clan legends, short and simple bits of description that go a long way toward bringing the setting to life.

		Rokugan: an imaginary setting based on feudal Japan, with liberal seasonings of Asian mythology.
		When the Crab Clan abandoned its long defense of the empire's borders to seek the throne, the monsters of the barren Shadowlands invaded, led by the fallen Clan Scorpion.
		In this, Rokugan's darkest day, Fu Leng possessed the body of the dying Emperor himself.

		Dragon: The northernmost peaks of Rokugan are home to the Dragon, the clan founded when the Kami Togashi took his first two followers into their snowy recesses.
		One of the greatest warriors and shugenja to ever appear in Rokugan, he is a force to be reckoned with.

	Game Players Network
		First Glance Magic of Rokugan is a 96-page softcover book, priced at $24.95, somewhat pricier than other similarly-sized d20 books, notably the ‘class-builder’ series from Wizards of the Coast, which already face some criticism regarding their price.
		Usefulness While some of the dialogue on the shugenja’s place in Rokugan may not be useful for other campaigns, much of the rest of this chapter can provide insight into an interesting class.
		For the veteran Rokugan player interested in converting to the d20 system, this book will be valuable, as it provides solid conversions for many L5R spells and magic items not included in the original Oriental Adventures book.

		Finally, there is an introductory adventure for the GM to introduce his players to the intricate, delicate Society of Rokugan, and gives them a chance to role-play in the adventure as Samurai and Shugenja should.

		The background material on Rokugan is also very good, giving a new-samurai's view of the Emerald Empire, up to the time of the Emperor Toturi's death.
		The Rokugan setting is just amazing, adding tons of depth to the Oriental Adventures setting and just providing a great atmosphere, chock full of politics, rivalries, and Three Kingdoms-esque intrigue.
		Rokugan is an excellant conversion from the classic 'Legend of the 5 Rings' RPG system to the highly successful and popular 'D20' system.

	Rokugan Clans in Taltos - Reaper Message Board
		The other Rokugan list that's been posted is the Crab, which fights on a much more 'stand and kill them all' attitude than the Scorpion's quick and slashing attacks.
		My only problem with adding Rokugan to Taltos is that so much of the flavor of the world is lost on the other races...
		When I first thought about having a Iajutsu Duel in the game I was really excited, but then I realized that my Reven would never have an interest in standing toe to toe with an enemy with their sword sheathed.

		The Hantei Emperors have ruled over Rokugan for a thousand years of peace, and while their authority has remained largely uncontested, minor wars between the Clans remained constant.
		The duty of administering the Emperor's justice falls upon the shoulders of his Emerald Champion who holds the title until his death, at which time, a new tournament is held to determine the new Champion.

		We have retained this rule in Living Rokugan, although it is not printed in the 2nd Edition rules.
		In Heroes of Rokugan, when shugenja cast the "Commune" spell to ask questions of the elements, the spirits of Air, Earth, and Fire will only offer verbal answers (varying in nature according to the spirit).
		The Heroes of Rokugan campaign considers both the 1st Edition and the 2nd Edition maps of Rokugan to be valid, and scenario authors are free to use materials from both when developing scenarios.

		The Creatures of Rokugan from AEG strays off the path and although this makes the book a little easier to review, it also makes it harder to rate.
		I'll do Creatures of Rokugan a favour and rate it as a decent collection of monsters for a Rokugan setting and not as a few pages of rules that cost nearly $25 because the book's padded out with a lot of creatures.
		The Rokugan troll and the mountain goblin are the Oriental Adventures equivalents of the traditional favourites.

		Rokugan is completely compatible with the Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Edition d20 system, and includes not only a wealth of world material for GMs and players, but also new core classes, new prestige classes, new skills and feats, new spells, and far more.
		Creatures of Rokugan introduces dozens of creatures that stalk the Jade Empire in Legend of the Five Rings, updated to the Oriental Adventures D20 System rules, and contains advanced rules for playing Naga, Nezumi (Ratlings), kenku, goblins, and other strange races as player characters, as well as new feats and prestige classes.
		From the rituals of the Kitsu sodan-senzo to the complex battle tactics of the Akodo to the hidden kenjutsu styles of the Matsu, this book examines that which the Lion hide from their enemies.

		Rokugan, the world of L5R, is the example campaign setting for the new OA, which is sort of like saying that Greyhawk is the sample setting for the new DandD.
		Rather than leaving them out while using Rokugan as a default setting, we included everything and then presented Rokugan as an example of how to build a coherent campaign out of all these options.
		The fact is that Rokugan was reduced to about 40 pages in the final OA manuscript—not nearly enough to do the setting justice.
