The Topaz Championship - A Legend of the Five Rings Beginner Game

About the adventure

Each year, the finest young samurai of Rokugan compete in the Topaz Championship to see which of them will be crowned this years Topaz Champion... Legend of the Five Rings is a Roleplaying game set in the fictional nation of Rokugan. Rokugan uses tropes and themes from East Asian cultures, mostly Japanese, in a similar way to Dungeons and Dragons relying on western folklore. Rokugan is a place where the Samurai are descended from gods, and they rule over their clans with their codes of Bushido and Respect. Sometimes this works, often it doesn't. Young Samurai go through a ceremony known as gempukku, to mark their transition into adulthood. This takes a different shape for many of the Clans, and families within, but the most prestigious of these ceremonies is the Topaz Championship. Samurai are tested in each of the skills they must learn, before facing each other in a contest of skill to be declared the Topaz Champion. This year though... Something sinister seems to be afoot.
