"The Clan War Saga" foil subset
Yogo Shidachi
A prophecy buried beneath Kyuden Bayushi was the cause of the Scorpion’s betrayal. "The greatest among you will cause the Empire to fall," it said, and Shoju, our Champion, listened. We had no choice. -I.ITunnel System
Through the walls and beneath the city's tall gates the Scorpion came, weapons ready to shed Imperial blood. -I.IIForce of Will
"You have my blessing to do whatever is necessary my trusted friend," the Emperor smiled. Then as Shoju drew his sword, the court erupted into chaos. -I.IIIThe Fair Voice of Lies
When they claimed the Emerald Throne, the Scorpion slaughtered the Imperial Court, killing the poets, the ambassadors... and the Emperor himself. -I.IVToturi is Drugged
"Hatsuko...," The Lion Champion whispered as he fell, "Why...?" "Oh, my lord," she wept, "you will never know." -I.VExtortion
Around the walls of Otosan Uchi, the Scorpion fought six full clans. But without Toturi, our armies were no more than children squabbling over a lost toy. Without the General of the Lion, the Scorpion victory was assured. -I.VIFalse Alliance
Outside the gates of the city, all of the clans assembled against the Scorpion... all, save the Crab. No one knew where Hida Kisada would stand, and his choice would decide the fate of the Empire. -I.VIIAnother Time
From far across the battlefield, a Dragon maiden stared at the Crab hero with white-hot anger. He would pay for the slaughter of her brother. Not today, perhaps, but soon. -I.VIIIHida Tsuru
When the Crab raised their tetsubo against the Scorpion usurpers, their shout could be heard throughout Rokugan. Ah, that was our hour of glory. -- The Seven Days of Courage, outside the Emperor's walls. -I.IXMatsu Toshiro
Toturi returned, leading us to glory and destroying the traitors on the Throne. Yet his ambition led to his downfall and the destruction of the House of Akodo. As for Tsuko, she was only too happy to carry out the Young Hantei's demand. -I.XThe First Scroll is Opened
"The Scorpion have been defeated, and the city is in the hands of the Lion," the soldier cried. "Our Lord Shoju is dead!" "Dead...," murmured Junzo. "Then it is time for our final revenge." -II.IBayushi Dozan
Hantei XXXIX, the Young Prince, declared that the Scorpion were to be destroyed, as the Akodo house was to be hunted. Thus, the Emperor cursed his enemies... and rewarded his greatest friends. -II.IIThe Final Breath
The Young Hantei's was weak, fresh from his rapid gempukku. "Bayushi Kachiko," he commanded, "will become my wife. Thus ends forever the line of Bayushi the Traitor." -II.IIITomb of Jade
The armies of the Scorpion were destroyed by the Crane, their names stripped. Yet another force began to move beneath the surface of the Empire, a power over one thousand years old. -II.IVPlans Within Plans
Two years passed after the great Scorpion Coup-- two years of deception and revenge. At last, the Kharmic Wheel spun again as plague broke out across the land, and the Emperor began to sicken from its poison. -II.VShiba Shingo
The Five Masters, leaders of the Phoenix, felt the tremor of an ancient enemy in the wind of the Empire. One scroll had already been opened -- and three more lay in Phoenix hands. -II.VIBad Kharma
The Lion and the Crane, always bitter enemies, saw open war at last. The Emperor, sick and weary, could do nothing to stop them. The hatred between Matsu Tsuko and Doji Hoturi could only be quenched by blood. -II.VIIFamiliar Surroundings
In the palace of Otosan Uchi, the Scorpion seductress worked her poisons with care, that none would know the true power behind the Emperor's proclamations or his mysterious ailment. -II.VIIICourt Jester
"Silly Lion, Silly Lion, Always screaming for his Glory!" With a swift cut from Tsuko's sword, the little Crane was silent. "One less voice to trouble the Emperor's Ear," Tsuko whispered. -II.IXStance of the Mountain
From the high cliffs to the north, the Dragon Champion watched as the tapestry unfolded before him. "At last," Yokuni whispered, vanishing into the wind, "my brother comes." -II.XWetlands
Black Toturi, now ronin, wandered the lands of the Empire. His house destroyed, his family name forgotten, he began to see the truth in the ancient prophecy. "When the last Akodo falls, so falls the last Hantei." -III.ISetsuban Festival
Plague swept the lands of the Empire, killing crops and slaughtering villages. Though the heimin celebrated the Seven Fortunes, only the Kami of disease seemed to hear their prayers. -III.IIA Stout Heart
"Very well," Kisada rumbled, hating himself for it, "take our words to your dark Master. We will serve his cause... if he serves ours." The man bowed and vanished in a wisp of noxious smoke. -III.IIIDragon's Teeth
The Unicorn raced across the land unchecked, their stunning speed lending them victory against the Crab. But at the beginning of the wars, they had not yet found their purpose. -III.IVThe Kaiu Walls
"High above the Shadowlands the Great Wall of Kaiu stretches, holding back the Horde. Yet this night something moves outside the wall... and Kuni Yori has gone to greet it." -Hida Yakamo, III.VShiba Kyo
In the Phoenix lands, the power of the Dark Scrolls called to the Elemental Masters, and only one -- Isawa Tadaka -- was willing to pay their price. Gathering the hidden scrolls was a simple task. -III.VISkeletal Archers
Deep in the Shadowlands, the faint stirrings of a corrupt power turned the bodies of the dead into armies, and a Dark Moto led them. While the clans fought battles among themselves, the Shadowlands watched and waited. -III.VIIAsahina Tomo
At last, the Crab armies and their Shadowlands allies assaulted Daidoji Uji's armies at Kyuden Doji, heart of the Crane lands. Though Toshimoko and Hoturi beseeched an uncaring Emperor, the palace was razed to the ground by Hida troops. -III.VIIITomb of Iuchiban
Deep in the fields and forest of the empire, three powerful tombs have rested for centuries. When the Clan Wars shook the earth, a spirit was awakened within them -- a spirit that would feast on the blood for years to come. -III.IXSanctified Ground
"Not here," Tomo whispered, the power of the sacred temples flowing through him. "There will be no war on Asahina ground." With that, the Crab advance halted, and the peaceful lands of the Crane were spared. -III.XHorsebowmen
To the south of the Unicorn provinces stand the great forests of Shinomen. As the patrols of the Iuchi passed them, they were shocked to be greeted by a sound from within -- a hunting horn unsounded for a thousand years. -IV.IMaster Painter
The tattooed men of the dragon, ise zumi loyal to their Champion, Yokuni, came down from their mountains. In one breath, they swore fealty to Black Toturi and carried with them the words of their enigmatic lord. -IV.IIShadowlands Sickness
The plague that struck the Empire turns the populace into twisted visages, and soon they rise from their deaths in mockery of life, screaming Fu Leng's vengeance upon the world. -IV.III
Ambition's Debt
Soshi Taoshi
One scroll was opened on the day Shoju died; the others collected among the Phoenix, Lion and Scorpion. The only question: who would be the second to break the bonds of the Dark Pact? -IV.IVSake Works
"Raise a glass, a toast of sweet sake, to those who have already died. The imperial family, gone, and the Shining Prince is only one breath from Jigoku. Fortunes save us from these desperate times." -Kanbe, IV.VAshlim
Strange creatures, the mythical Naga, rose from the forests and screamed in unknown tongues. Mirumoto Daini was sent to parlay with the odd beasts, and only he knew where their alliance would lead. -IV.VIStand Firm
Beneath the shadows the Scorpion gathered, waiting for their chance to strike. Hidden behind masks of stealth and poison, the Bayushi rallied behind their Lady of Lies. -IV.VIIGoblin Wizard
"Stand-stand when the big armored ones go by. Soon-soon we cross the wall, and then they'll see. Then they'll know." -Kappuksu, IV.VIIIHida Sukune
"I will never know what caused our lord to stumble in his duty, nor what dark pact his son made with Yori. I only know that we were ordered to stand aside and open the gates of the Kaiu Wall, and on the same day, Yakamo's lost hand was replaced with a claw of corruption." -IV.IXNingyo
One after another the Black Scrolls were opened, and the wars increased. Soon even the purity of Naga pearls could not wash away the stains of blood. -IV.XAs the Shadow Falls
As the Dragon marched south under the command of the Black Ronin, a terrible darkness fell across the land. Another scroll had been opened, and Junzo's madness spread, covering the land in despair. -V.IPlague Zombies
"Take them," Kisada told his son, "and defend Beiden Pass with your life." The Great Bear watched as Tsukune (sic) marched northward, knowing not that would never see his son again. -V.II
(Beiden Pass is also numbered "V.II," apparently in error.)Bridged Pass
To one side of the pass, Hida Tsukune (sic), son of Kisada, noticed an arched bridge of stone. "There," he said. "There we will make our stand against the Dragon for the future of the Empire!" -V.IIIInner Fire
"Uona... my sister...," Tadaka whispered, blood pouring from his eyes as his form shifted and changed uncontrollably. "It is more than we ever could have guessed. The Black Scrolls are Fu Leng incarnate." -V.IVTrading Grounds
The Dragon marched into the pass, their scouts reporting a massive Crab army to the south. "They will not parlay," Toturi was told, but he already knew the battle's outcome. -V.VSuspended Terrain
The Dragon and the Unicorn joined forces just at the pass, and the battle was joined at dawn. Poor Tsukune (sic) -- he was a brilliant youth, but compared to Toturi's experience, he was destined to fail. -V.VIBeiden Pass
It was only a matter of hours before Tsukune (sic) was pushed back, his troops destroyed. Awaiting him as he returned: the forces of his brother Yakamo and a terrible price for his failure. -V.II
(This card is numbered "V.II," but its place in the narrative suggests it should be "V.VII." Plague Zombies are numbered "V.II" and no other card is numbered "V.VII".)Troops from the Woods
Daini and his Naga joined Toturi for the second battle, at the southern edge of the pass. As the evening fell, they saw a terrible sight above Yakamo's armies: the standard of the Dark God, and from it hung the body of Hida Tsukune (sic). -V.VIIIThe Fire from Within
"Yakamo!" Hitomi screamed, the wind whipping her rage, "for the life of my brother!" The Crab turned, his face scarred with derision, and raised his tetsubo. -V.IXThe Arrow Knows the Way
Seeking to destroy the invading Shadowlands, the Naga marched toward the undefended Lion provinces, forcing Tsuko to draw her troops away from the destruction of the Crane. -V.XChi Strike
One blow from his tetsubo, and the Dragon maiden fell. "I remember you now," Yakamo snarled as his claw descended. "You own me a hand, little girl." -VI.IDragon Sword is Broken
After the battle, the swords of the fallen were collected. Among them, the shattered remnants of the Dragon Ancestral Katana lay in a puddle of blood, but Hitomi was nowhere to be found. -VI.IIGoblin Berserkers
"Now with Crab friends, we have all land-green land, rich land, land for spoiling... until the Oni come." - Chieftain Ropputu, just before being eaten by Oni no Akuma, VI.IIILessons from the Past
"He had no name and no family. He came from the east, a hood obscuring his features, but his soul was as pure as his ancestor's had been long ago." -Tetsuya, VI.IVTo Avenge Our Ancestors
Toturi led the Dragon to the south, but the Unicorn stayed at Beiden Pass. Only when the Hooded Ronin spoke to their leader, Kamoko, did they relax their hold and allow passage to the north once more. -VI.VSympathetic Energies
The Emerald Champion, defender of the Emperor, was to be chosen, and a tournament was held. Among the ten who challenged stood one woman -- Hitmoi, with a hand of black glass and the favor of Bayushi Kachiko. -VI.VIDisfavored
While the tournament outside gathered the court's attentions, the Crane Champion was captured, held in a prison cell deep beneath the palace. "Now you taste the sweetness of revenge," whispered Kachiko. -VI.VIIPlains of the Emerald Champion
One after another the challengers were forced to submit before Hitomi's new-found might. At last, only two remained on the field of battle -- the Dragon maiden and a weary, wounded Grey Crane. -VI.VIIIThe Festering Pit of Fu Leng
As the eighth scroll opened, something was feed from its prison deep within the Shadowlands -- the soul of a forgotten god. -VI.IXFatal Mistake
The Sun glistened on Hitomi's obsidian hand as she faced Toshimoko. "Yield, old one, and I will be merciful." Across the field, the Crane only smiled and raised his sword. -VI.XKakita Ichiro
"There were whispers, of course, but we did not believe them. Hoturi captured, drugged, and bound by Scorpion hands? A lie, and a Lion rumor." -VII.ICorrupt Gold Mines
Hitomi returned to the Dragon mountains after her defeat by the swordsmanship of the Grey Crane. Her hand stained her conscience, but Yokuni seemed to understand its price. -VII.II
(There are two cards numbered "VII.II", and none marked "VII.III".)Disharmony
"Ssh, Hoturi. Rest." Her voice was silken poison, and the Egg glowed -- black magic in her hands. "There will be plenty of time to scream later." -VII.II
(There are two cards numbered "VII.II", and none marked "VII.III".)Political Distraction
Masked as the Champion of the Crane, the minion of the Egg left to join the Lion-Crane wars with a host of warriors. Kachiko watched with a gleam in her eyes as the False Hoturi marched, madness on his face. -VII.IVTogashi Jodome
"The first we knew of the Emperor's change was the horrible darkness that overtook the palace. In the chambers of the Hantei, a strange shriek rang out... than all was silent." -VII.VPikemen
Slowly, as the Phoenix continued to unleash their new magic, their bodies became tainted by the Black Scrolls… and in the Shadowlands, Junzo's hollow voice rang out. -VII.VI
Fire & Shadow
Shadowlands Madmen
"They came from the north, covered in the stench of corruption. The attack was sudden, but the worst part was the face of their leader -- our own Doji Hoturi, madness in his eyes." - Kakita Yoshi, VII.VIIShioda
"In the halls of the Lion, a terrible death: Akodo Kage, the last of the Akodo, was found with a dagger through his heart. Yet in the darkness, a word was whispered: Kolat..." -VII.VIIIWarrior Monks
For the Tao they marched, as Fu Leng threw his strongest minions against their temples. Once, the brotherhood sought only peace, but now they fought for their true master: Shinsei. -VII.IXNight Battle
Deep in the Shadowlands, tremendous Oni rose from the Festering Pit, marching toward Rokugan. Amid the crushing sounds of their advance, the horrible chanting of Junzo rang out. -VII.XRanbe
Yoritomo called a meeting of the lesser clans - the Fox, the Centipede, the Wasp - all to join with him in this fight. If the Great Clans could not end their fighting for the Emerald Throne, then by the Fortunes, we would! -VIII.IThe Price of War
"The Ancestral Sword of the Lion... yes, I have seen it. it lies in the palace of the Emperor, safe from thieves that once took it from the Akodo. Strange, how Empress Kachiko covets it so." - Kemmei, VIII.IIPeasant Levies
"The Emerald Champion has always fought for the people, but in these troubled times, even Toshimoko's keen sword cannot save us. Only Toturi and his band of ronin hold salvation from the Emperor's tainted hand." - Mikio, VIII.IIIFu Leng's Steeds
"The Moto rose from the Shadowlands, remnants of their once-living state. "Come to us," they called, but our daimyo fought them. In the end my father died from their black touch, a victim of our past." - Moto Soro, VIII.IVKemmei
Whispers came throughout the land, of the rise of the fallen Scorpion Champion and his attempt to carry his wife, Kachiko, into the land of the dead. Had it not been for Tasu's swift blades, the Lady of the Scorpion would have been forever lost. -VIII.VShabura
"These humans fight one another while a fallen god usurps their throne and destroys their lands. They are fools, and yet do not see it. We will show them how the Shadowlands die, if we must kill them all to do it." -VIII.VIRobes of Shinsei
In the middle of the night a samurai in battered armor came bearing the wounded Crane Champion in his arms. He said his name was "Akioshi" (sic) but when Toturi first saw him, he called the samurai by another name. -VIII.VIISunken City
Across the land the Naga grew more and more plentiful, spreading like a plague of snakes. In the depths of the oceans their cities awoke, and their minions came to fight the Dark God. -VIII.VIIIKoichi
We serve the One, the Tao that was foretold by Shinsei a thousand years ago. Now the child of that line has come forth, and we are ready to fight at his command. Only thus can Fu Leng's evil be stopped. -VIII.IXDisenlightenment
"The Emperor is no longer a man -- he is the god of corruption, the ninth Kami, Fu Leng incarnate. It is our duty to rid Rokugan of this threat and to restore the throne to one who can rule with strength." -Hida Kisada, VIII.XMaster of the Tea Ceremony
In the palace of Otosan Uchi, zombies walked where men once stood and the coutiers of Crane and Phoenix were thrown into the prisons below the city. Fu Leng controlled the Emerald Throne, and Kachiko's plans turned to dust. -IX.IThe Face of Fear
Though Uji and the Crane had been forced to withdraw, Kakita Palace was not destroyed by the armies of the False Hoturi. When our Champion came to fight them, we found the palace in rags - ruined, but not destroyed. -IX.IIShinjo Sadato
Otaku Kamoko led us to Toturi's side with the news that the Crab had stormed the Imperial Palace and the Lion had opened the tenth scroll. As fires lit the heavens in the north, the mighty army began to turn. -IX.IIIBlood of Midnight
Kisada raised his forces in a massive midnight attack against the tainted Emperor, calling for his son to stand by him. Though they fought bravely, they failed, and Kisada was taken from the palace, the Emperor's sword buried in his side.-IX.IVGoblin War Standard
"Around the Hantei palace the goblins march, their banners covered with blood. One could only guess at what horrors lay inside." - Iuchi Daiyu, XI.V
(Note: There is no card marked "IX.V". Apparently the first two numerals were transposed.)Bend Like A Reed
When the Crab attacked the throne, Matsu Tsuko and her Lions were ready. At the last moment, a command from the Emperor forced tsuko to stand aside and watch as her armies died. -IX.VIMountain of the Seven Thunders
Before the great mountain, the Hooded Ronin spoke. "Seven mortals were chosen to fight Fu Leng, a thousand years ago, and seven must walk with me now into the palace of the Emperor." -IX.VIIShagara
"Yakamo of the Crab brought his armies to join ours, and where his great claw had once been, a hand of jade now shone.With such courage as his, the humans may yet win the war." -IX.VIIIBurning Your Essence
Doji Hoturi strode into the army of madmen, the sword of his father in his hand. He met with the Minion of the Egg, and when it was finished, only the true Champion stood before the Crane. -IX.IXSecluded Ravine
In a quiet ravine near the ronin armies, Matsu Tsuko knelt before Toturi, once her hated rival. "The armies of the Lion stand divide, broken. They cannot fight against the Evil One, for their oath swears them to the Emerald Throne." -IX.XTrade Route
"Tsuko fought for the Emperor, served the Emperor, and died for the Emperor. Her sacrifce was according to a code that had failed her and her clan. Lion fought Lion on the fields of the Emperor's palace." - Toturi, X.IOni no Kamu
Yoritomo stood before the Champions of the Seven Clans. "My army will fight for you, if you recognize our claim. If not, we shall attack you and die. We would rather die on our feet than continue to serve." -X.IIShiba Katsuda
On the parapets of Isawa Castle, the Masters rained fire down upon their tainted clan.One had gone mad, and two died with him to stop his wrath. Another was taken to join the Thunders, and the fifth... of the fifth we do not know. -X.IIIThe Twelve Ronin
The Lion, once unified by honor, began to fight among themselves - for the Emperor, or for the Empire? As they did, a mighty voice was heard on the field: "For Tsuko, and for the Empire!" With his cry, Toturi rallied the Lion, and they turned to fight the Dark God as one. -X.IVBonds of Darkness
Kachiko opened the gates of the palace as the war raged outside, and the Seven Thunders entered. Hoturi, Toturi, Kamoko, Hitomi, Tadaka, Yakamo, and Kachiko stood together beside the descendent of Shinsei, prepared to face Fu Leng at last. -X.VCorrupted Ground
As the Thunders stood in the throne room, Togashi Yokuni removed his ancient mask. "Fight me, Fu Leng!" he cried, and the two Kami warred - a battle that ended with Yokuni at his brother's feet. -X.VIStifling Wind
"In the corner, Hitomi plunged an obsidian hand into Togashi's chest, drawing out his heart - and the twelth black scroll. As Togashi had wished, she opened it, and foul laughter echoed throughout the empty palace.["] -X.VIIBrothers of Thunder
"Fools!" Fu Leng cried. "With the opening of the last scroll, I am fully free!" "Yes," Shinsei's son whispered. "And once fully free, you are fully mortal... and can die." -X.VIIIShahadet's Legion
The Thunders fought valiantly, but they were no match for Fu Leng's power. At the end, Hoturi and Toturi stood alone against the beast. Toturi raised his ancestral blade and felt an unseen hand guide it - and Fu Leng was destroyed once more. -X.IXThe Celestial Pattern
After the Day of Thunder, three bodies were burned on pyres. Hoturi, Togashi, Tadaka - heroes of an age that will never be forgotten. May their sacrifices continue to inspire us in the Age of Man. -X.X
