Legend of the Burning Sands

In the Burning Sands, rival empires clash amid deadly intrigues in the Jewel of the Desert, a mysterious city beyond the Emerald Empire. The game presents the major factions of the setting, including the exiled Unicorn and Scorpion, along with distinct forms of magic ranging from khadi necromancy to the Qabal’s jinn summoning. Set years after the events of the Burning Sands collectible card game, it explores the region’s later history. It can be played as a standalone game or used with the third edition of Legend of the Five Rings to introduce the desert setting and its gaijin factions.
