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.
