Rokugan is facing its first Empire-wide threat since the Divine Empress took the throne. In the south, strange four-armed beings known as the Destroyers have joined with familiar Shadowlands threats to tear down the Great Wall of Kaiu and pour into the breach. The Army of Dark Fire continues to harass the northern clans, bringing deadly new tactics after its previous failure to reach Toshi Ranbo. All over the Empire, tainted air carries the plague, creating mindless zombies who carry the disease to new victims. Already, whole provinces have been put to the torch in an effort to combat the plague, with the loss of the entire Horiuchi family one of the first casualties. At the heart of all of this, Kali-Ma stretches her arms to blot out the Empire.
In such times of darkness, the soul of bushido burns brightest.
As we begin 2010, AEG presents a new megagame — The Plague War — in which individual clans and Rokugan as a whole both face daunting challenges. During the course of the megagame, the clans will have opportunities to win Glory and Honor. Glory can be won in card tournaments such as GenCon, the European Championships, and the Kotei events. Honor can be won in side events and non-card contests, such as Winter Court, costume contests, charity events, and koku drives.
The Destroyer’s army pushes further into the Emerald Empire, while the renewed Army of Dark Fire continues to harass the northern border. At the same time, plague erupts in the middle of the Empire, bringing the Scorpion and Crane low. It is a dark time for the newly crowned Empress.
