The Resolution Series: Tournaments for the L5R CCG

Over the history of the Legend of the Five Rings brand, there have been many storylines that have reached an epic and satisfying conclusion, most with the full participation of L5R’s amazing and engaging fanbase. Due to the nature of the ongoing storyline, however, it is inevitable that some plotlines fail to achieve proper resolution, and some simply fall by the wayside entirely. It is unfortunate, but a part of the ongoing, constantly reshaped narrative that has made L5R unique in the CCG world. This season, a series of tournaments will be taking place that are intended to revisit some of these forgotten plotlines, bringing closure where none was had in previous arcs. These plotlines will come from both the desires of the Story Team to find closure, and from those stories that the fans have asked for repeatedly over the years. It’s time for memories to come alive!

The Path of the Wanderer

To be held on November 30th, 2013, in Roulans, France.

A Storyline Tournament for the L5R CCG

During years past, the unique entity known as Togashi Hoshi walked the mortal realm as the son of a god and the leader of men. Hoshi never truly belonged in Rokugan; as the child of two worlds, he could never be truly at peace. In time he ascended to the Celestial Heavens to become the Celestial Wanderer. His adherents in the mortal world were led by a man named Hoshi Wayan, although his order eventually came to an end as they grew increasingly distant from mortal affairs. Wayan’s ultimate fate is unknown to the Empire as a whole, but he left behind a tome of wisdom known as the Chronicle of the Wanderer, and in it can be found unknown secrets of the Celestial Heavens themselves.

The winner of this tournament will determine the clan affiliation of the priest who discovers the Chronicle and interprets the secrets within, gaining access to new and undiscovered abilities that are remarkable even for a shugenja. In addition, the highest placing Dragon player will work with the Story Team to determine the ultimate fate of Hoshi Wayan.
