Secrets of the Phoenix

Legend of the Five Rings RPG 2nd Edition

by Jed Carleton, Shawn Carman, Roger Gina-Sorolla

"One cannot have power without wisdom and yet only by learning to control one's power can wisdom be gained. This is the way of the Phoenix."- Shiba Aikune, Master of the Last Wish

Secrets of the Phoenix explores the most mysterious Great Clan; illustrating its customs, holdings, and way of life. But have caution: the Phoenix guard their secrets well, and do not take lightly to outsiders in their libraries...

Within, you will find:

* Mechanics for secret orders within the clan like the Isawa Tensai-masters of elemental magic- and the Order of Chikai, the devoted bodyguards who protect them.
* New spells exclusive to the Phoenix families.
* Information on the Yobanjin, the strange barbarians who dwell in the mountains north of the Phoenix.
* Gisei Toshi, the lost city of the Phoenix. Hidden behind a wall of illusion and secrecy, here the Phoenix carry out their most crucial experiments.
* The darkest secrets of the Phoenix Clan- the dark, forgotten shames that they hide from outsiders...and themselves.
