Kyuden Uraho
Welcome to Kyuden Uraho! This is the place for my small contribution to the Legend of the Five Rings (L5R) universe. Everything in Kyuden Uraho is considered to be a "fan contribution", and as such is limited by the policies of Alderac Entertainment Group.
This is my PBEM that I run through Yahoo Groups. Shadows of Crystal is set in an alternate Rokugan. A shugenja Empress rules the empire and, unknown to the masses, the Bloodspeakers are up to something. This time, the Lying Darkness is helping ...
Backgrounders - Fictional stories that help to explain the altered world.
The Splitting Stream - Where it all begins. Twenty years before the coup, an Ishiken decides that she doesn't like the way thing are going and she needs to do something about it ...
The Hidden Serpent - The Snake clan was presumed destroyed, but they aren't. Where are they now, and what are they doing?
The Hidden Hare - Usagi Kinotu disappears not long after reporting that the Scorpion are amassing on Hare borders. The question is why?
About the Uraho
The Uraho are one of the minor vassal families of the Scorpion Clan that specialize in Tejina (see Way of the Ninja). They are not well known within the empire in general, but the Scorpion all know of their reputation - they get things done. Discretely. Even so, they are a little odd - the family is idealistic, though (some say "fortunately") not Junshin. Still, they do have their code of ethics and they stick to it.
The Uraho Shugenja School is very picky about who they teach. Outsiders may learn the Uraho, but most will never understand in quite the same way as the Scorpion. Only Scorpion may enter the Uraho Tejina School (uses Soshi Tejina School from Way of the Ninja).
