Clanbook 07: Way of Shadow: The Ninja Investigations of Kitsuki Kaagi (1e)
 |
Over a decade ago¸ an Imperial Magistrate vanished on his way to the Dragon lands. His eta servant carried his journal back to his Clan¸ but he has never been heard from again. His records mention strange figures in the night¸ shadows with no faces¸ and the deepest secret of Rokugan's most dangerous enemy... the Ninja. Now¸ the lie is exposed: the mystery of the true Ninja is revealed. Adventures of horror and madness await you¸ and at the end¸ you and your players will look upon the face of the Goju¸ the truth behind the Ninja and their Master¸ the Immortal Shadow.
"The journal of Kitsuki Kaagi is the most mysterious manuscript in Rokugan¸ and the most heavily protected. Surrounded by crystal and buried within the depths of Mirumoto Castle¸ the few Kitsuki who have volunteered to be exposed to its secrets have become shadow... faceless and forever lost.
The blackness on night only conceals a greater Nothing. We hide in you nightmares¸ abandon by the light. Do not fear the servants of shadow¸ but the Shadow itself..."
-Goju's Celestial Agonies
