Posted on August 9, 2012 by mazecontroller Each of the previous
editions of Legend of the Five Rings was connected to a specific
time period. The first edition was set before the events of the
CCG. The second edition bumped the timeline to the Time of the
Void. The third edition came out current with the CCG story at
the time. The fourth edition opted to be timeless to allow fans
to use whatever time period they wanted. This left a lot of the
game’s history out of the core book. This makes the fourth
edition versatile, but left out a lot of the player created
history and backstory. Imperial Histories was created to fill
that void. Imperial Histories is a guide to various points in
the history of Rokugan. Many of the periods have been seen in
other sourcebooks or editions. Some have been referred to in
historical accounts. And a few are brand new to the book. Each
of these is set ups as a campaign possibility with new rules,
new schools and, in some cases, modifications to the existing
rules for different eras
