The Corruption begins

Those who seek mastery of the Elemental Rings have unearthed artifacts of incredible potency long lost to the Empire.
Kakita Toshimoko takes his place as the Emerald Champion but keeps a wary eye on Bayushi Kachiko.

The growing power of those tainted by the Shadowlands and the corrupting influence of the Black Scrolls demonstrate that some knowledge is best left undiscovered.

Though the Dynasty has been destroyed, the name of the last Hantei Emperor still commands respect throughout the Empire. The Crane Clan Iaijitsu Master now wears the ancient Emerald Armor and stands as the last hope for justice amid the chaos.
Executed for betraying the Hantei Dynasty, Bayushi Shoju has been almost forgotten by the other Clans in their struggle to seize the Emerald Throne. Using a newly discovered Ritual enscribed on a Black Scroll, his spirit may soon be torn from its eternal slumber
