Bearers of Jade

This sourcebook expands campaigns set in the contaminated wastes of the Shadowlands, where samurai face oni, undead, maho-tsukai, and the spreading Taint. It presents life at the Kaiu Wall, with first-person accounts and guidance for running horror-focused adventures in Rokugan. New rules cover insanity, mass battles, bare-handed Crab jiujutsu, and the gradual effects of the Taint. The book also details 15 lost or corrupted relics, the history of the tortured Iuchi Karasu, new spells, and two dozen creatures, including Spirit Kings and akutenshi.
