The Imperial Archives (RPG book)



The Imperial Archives was a source book for the Legend of the Five Rings roleplaying game. It is sub-titled “A Rokugani Miscellany”, a collection of all the miscellaneous topics and writings that could not fit into any of the earlier hard-copy books. Here you will find discussions of Shourido and the Susumu family, of the Shogun and his role in the Empire, of courtier characters and how they can be played, of the gaijin people known as the Yobanjin, of the religious role of the Emperor and the Imperial Bureaucracy, the religious and cultural roles of shugenja, a list of hypothetical Minor Clans, and an assortment of famous NPCs from the history of Rokugan. Here you will also find game mechanics that mesh with the topics of these articles, as well as the stats for the Oni Lords, and a comprehensive set of errata and corrections for the entire 4th Edition RPG line.
