“In hidden monasteries and secluded dojo across the Empire, enlightened mystics seek to understand the true mysteries of existence. Some do this simply out of a need to find their place in the world. Some seek a path to power. Others wish to unlock this mystery merely because it is there.
The answers await, if only you bring the proper questions.
Within you will find:
- History tradition and practices of Rokugan's premier order of monks- the Brotherhood of Shinsei.
- Secrets of enlightenment and the paths that one might take to reach it.
- New rules for campaigns seeking more dynamic martial arts flavor.
- Over twenty new martial arts styles, from the offensive and the defensive to the simply bizarre.
