Legend of the Five Rings


The World of Ningen-Do is centered around the lands of Rokugan, a place which is very much like the feudal ere of Japan. Adapted from a AEG's CTG, it soon became a popular RPG. In this world it is believe that the great gods, the Sun and the Moon had divine children. The Moon being jealous of his progeny ate them. It wasn't until centuries later when the gods broke free and fell to earth. Most of the gods when they fell to earth became immortals being that lead many of the humans together and founded the Empire of Rokugan. However, their brother Fe Lung fell far to the south and into the realm of Yomi. Their the evil corrupted him and made him into a dark god. For the next couple of centuries it would be Fu Leng mission to destroy he lands that his brother and sisters created.

On the same continent, a number of other cultures exist as well. To the southwest past the Shadowlands, the Ivory Kingdoms hold sway (India), to the west the great desert kingdoms of the Burnings Sand, and farther still the ancient empire of Senpet (Egypt) To the north, the Yobanjin barbarians (the original inhabitants of Rokugan), and far west lies Imperial Yodatai (Rome). Contact with a continent to the east has been made, where the nations of  Merenae and Thane can be found  (Europe).
