Championships! The World Championships will be September 29-October

Resotel, who are handling

The Battle at the Tomb
Several months ago, brave samurai set out with the Emerald
Champion to ride to the aid of the Emperor, deep within the
Shadowlands. Now Nezumi return with word that the contingent is
pinned down at the legendary Tomb of the Seven Thunders. Oni and
other vile creatures of the Shadowlands move against them while
they struggle valiantly to defend the Emperor, who is still in
seclusion within the Tomb. Worse yet, the Nezumi report a mass
of Oni moving towards the area of the Tomb, and their force is
strong enough to overcome the defenders. The Clans must react
for the good of their Emperor.
At the 2006 World Championships, the armies of the Clans arrive
to do battle with the Oni, protecting their Emperor and allowing
him to find the resolution of his quest. Will he find the
Enlightenment he seeks, or will his quest end in failure as it
did for his brothers? And what of the Lost, whose side will they
take in this decisive battle? During the long battle, ten noble
souls (each Top of Clan player) will be allowed entry into the
Tomb. The Tomb will be physically represented at the World
Championships, and within are artifacts of great power and
mystery. Each player must privately choose the item they adopt
for their Clan. While the proper choice can bring great power
and glory, an improper choice may bring great peril. Will you
choose to gain power for your Clan or deny another Clan their
destiny? Seek the pieces of the map for guidance.
Clan Council
For the first time in the history of L5R, the players of each
Clan will be allowed to together make decisions that will affect
their Clan’s future. Each player will be divided into Clans
based on whom they are playing at the World Championships. These
groups will each be posed unique questions related to their Clan
and its future. The group will have a limited amount of time to
reach consensus, at which point they must present an answer.
These questions will be reflected in the next story arc and
tournament environment.
