Rokugan has never belonged to humans alone. Ages before the dawn of the Empire, great civilizations built by non-human races such as the naga and the ogres marked the land, and although they are gone now, their descendants still dwell upon the earth and in the seas. Since the catastrophic Fall of Fu Leng, oni - the spawn of Jigoku and their terrible offspring - have walked the Shadowlands, warred against the Empire without cease, and even been summoned into Rokugan itself. And of course, a dazzling variety of creatures great and small have always been a part of this world - some fearsome, some benign, some visitors from other Spirit Realms, such as the playful kitsune and the terrifying tsuno. Featuring over 200 entries, including some creatures never before described for any edition of Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game, and rules for creating naga and nezumi player characters.

Silken Words Carry Death as Surely as a Katana.

Far from the fields of war, the Great Clans of Rokugan struggle against each other behind the walls of elegant palaces and amidst the theater of great public events. They understand that politics and diplomacy - the arts of the court - are no less important to their ongoing fight for power and influence than the sword and the bow.

But as with war, the subtleties of court play a more prominent strategic role for some Clans than for others. Masters of Court views three such Clans - the elegant Crane, the cunning Scorpion and the relatively new and enigmatic Spider - through the lens of their practice of diplomacy. One chapter is also devoted to the Otomo Family and their relationship to the Great Clans. Masters of Court features:

* New and updated character creation and development mechanics focusing on Social Skills and courtiers in general and the Crane, Scorpion and Spider Clans in particular.

* Descriptions of palaces that serve as a particularly important focal points of political and diplomatic activity.

* New Exclusive Spells for the Soshi Deceiver Advanced School.

* New mechanics for the Otomo, the manipulative arm of the Imperial families.

* Profiles and NPC stats for prominent and otherwise interesting political figures in the Crane, Scorpion and Spider Clans.

Prayers and Treasures is an essential resource, and not just for those who play shugenja characters or who are interested in the profession. Anyone who is interested in enchanted items and legendary artifacts will find this a must-have book.

Rokugan is a place of enchantment, as well as honor and courage. The Elemental spirits known as the kami inhabit every place and every thing, and those who are blessed with the gift of communicating directly with them can tap into their power and unleash forces that others can scarcely imagine. The kami that reside in physical objects have also been known to awaken on their own, or in response to human stimulation, thereby creating items with supernatural powers that are both revered and respected in all corners of the Empire.

Prayers and Treasures is a comprehensive guide to magic in Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game Third Edition, encompassing not only the shugenja’s art, but also the vast range of magic items that can be found in Rokugan.
