To the south of Rokugan lie the repugnant Shadowlands, home to horrible demons and unnatural creatures. Centuries ago, the Crab Clan built the massive Kaiu Wall to contain these threats, but every day it faces new assaults. Without the courage and honor of the samurai to defend it against the dangers of the Shadowlands, the Emerald Empire would surely have fallen.

SHADOWLANDS explores these dark realms and the corrupted creatures that fester within them, as well as the samurai who fight against them on the Wall and beyond.

In this manual for THE LEGEND OF THE FIVE RINGS, you will find a wealth of information to play in the Shadowlands and the territories of the Crab Clan, including:

Tales of the Shadowlands, its various despicable inhabitants and places like the oozing pit, as well as those of the Crab Clan and the Kaiu Wall itself.

Rules for the Minor Clan of the Falcon, along with new schools, weapons, techniques, and weapon crafting designed to combat the evil of the Shadowlands. Players can also acquire new maho techniques, should they dare to use the forbidden rites of blood magic to gain power.

Support for the GM, which includes tips on how to run Shadowlands-themed adventures, rules for generating unique, demonic oni, and a guide on the use of corruption in the game.

SHADOWLANDS is a hardcover volume of 144 pages in Italian, PDF version included.
