Rain of Blood

In the Year 1165, Iuchiban enacted a terrible ritual uncovered years ago by Jama Suru. By sacrificing the last Ki-Rin, Iuchiban and his followers enact a ritual which uses all of the unicorn's life force to unleash a terrible storm across all of Rokugan. The clouds churn and spill forth a rain of blood that corrupts all who feel its touch for too long, as well as the land. The Lion Clan and Mantis Clan are hit particularly hard by this disaster, as the Lion armies march to the City of the Rich Frog and the Mantis are unprotected on the seas.
