Venerable Storyteller
VISITORS, friends, welcome to my home. I am Suzume Mukashino, the Venerable Storyteller. Sit down and stay a while, while I tell you what is happening in Rokugan...
Here are the stories in the different Legend of the 5 Rings expansions
The Shadowlands Expansion
During the Shadowlands Expansion, Bayushi Kachiko, the leader of the fallen Scorpion Clan used the mysterious Egg of Pan Ku and made a copy of the Crane Clan Champion Doji Hoturi. The false Hoturi leads an army of Shadowlands madmen on rampages across the Empire.
Meanwhile, the Phoenix Clan send Isawa Tadaka, the Elemental Master of Earth into the Shadowlands to find Yogo Junzo and the Black Scrolls. Mirumoto Hitomi, Dragon Clan samurai maiden fought against Hida Yakamo, the Crab Clan Hero. She loses her hand but is nursed back to health by Kachiko and given an ancient artifact: the Obsidian Hand.
After months of rumors and reported sightings, the Naga return to the Empire from their long sleep and announced their intention to fight against the rising tide of evil.
The Forbidden Knowledge Expansion
During this expansion, more Black Scrolls are recovered, including several which contains ritual spells.
Bayushi Kachiko sees one of her plans thwarted when Kakita Toshimoko, the Crane Clan Iaijutsu Master defeats Mirumoto Hitomi in the Test of the Emerald Champion. Toshimoko dons the Emerald Armor and becomes a strong force for the justice in the Empire.
Another of the phoenix Clan Elemental Masters, Isawa Uona becomes tainted by the Shadowlands.
The boundaries between reality and the extradimensional prison of the Dark God are weakened, and Elemental Terrors, spirit creatures of incredible power are unleashed on the Empire.
The Anvil of Despair Expansion
With Anvil of Despair, the rag-tag army assembled by Toturi becomes a stronger force. Heroes and ronin from all across the Empire are joining Toturi's banner. The once disgraced former Lion Clan Champion has raised his own banner and is making a bid to take control of the Empire.
Opposing this bold stroke is the hideous Shadowlands horde commanded by Yogo Junzo.
Elsewhere in the Empire, the plans of the Crab Clan come to fruition as the Crab use transports constructed in secret to invade the Imperial Capitol from the seea. Matsu Tsuko, Lion Clan Champion is ordered to stand aside, and the Lion Clan armies defending the capital suffer a terrible defeat. Hida Kisada, the Crab Clan Champion, enters the Imperial Palace, but is struck down by the body of the last Hantei Emperor.
The Empire learns that the Emperor has been possessed by Fu Leng, the Dark God. The dark tide of evil continues to rise against the forces of Honor in the Empire.
The Crimson and Jade Expansion
The Crane Clan, in hoping to help fight the rising tide of Shadowlands forces, organized the Yoritomo Alliance. Led by the Mantis Clan Champion Yoritomo, all the minor clans of Rokugan were united under one banner.
Meanwhile, Shinsei emerges from the protection of the Brotherhood. He names the seven thunders: Akodo Toturi, Mirumoto Hitomi, Otaku Kamoko, Hida Yakamo, Doji Hoturi, Isawa Tadaka, and Bayushi Kachiko, who must fight Fu Leng and bring peace to Rokugan once and for all.
The Time of the Void Expansion
Conclusion of the Saga
The Phoenix Clan has fallen prey to corruption due to dark powers. Isawa Tsuke, the Master of Fire, attacked Otosan Uchi and killed many of his brethren. Ujimitsu destroyed Tsuke, but at the cost of his own life.
Meanwhile, the Crab Clan have turned against the Shadowlands and are now led by Hida Yakamo, the son of Hida Kisada. The rampaging Crabs attack the Shadowlands forces with renewed vengeance, and prove their devotion to the empire.
After destroying Yogo Junzo's forces, the seven thunders, along with Togashi Yokuni and Shinsei, confront Fu Leng. Yokuni is revealed as Togashi, brother of the dark god. The two fight, but Togashi was defeated by Fu Leng. Hitomi thrust her Obsidian Hand in Togashi's chest, and pulls out his heart - in which lies the last Black Scroll.
Isawa Tadaka died in the palace, as well as Doji Hoturi. But before Hoturi died, he forgave Kachiko of her evil deeds. All the people of Rokugan gathers outside Otosan Uchi, and crowns Toturi as their new emperor.
