Okay, I've been playing an on again off again game of L5R for a fair number of months now. I'm still a fledgling L5R player, so a lot of things are lost on me. Hopefully the well versed folks of this board can fill me in on some finer points, but first, the back story. The Adventure to date has consisted of adventuring in the shadow plane created in the wake of lady Moon naming the shadow (this was created by the GM, not canon).
Long story exceedingly short, Three Samurai: A lion (a brash Ikoma), a dragon (an unlucky Miramoto), and a crab (a morally ambiguous Hiruma, my charater), ended up doing Hitomi a favor by collecting a sword "Lord Moon's Bone" from the aforementioned shadow realm. We were rewarded with a stint in Yomi, and a variety of goodies (The lion recieved Yomi Armor and a Kuni crystal Eye, the Dragon recieved Togashi's wakazashi, and the Crab recovered the scrolls of the lost school of the Hiruma) before returning to Rokugan.
That was where the first game left off. We took several months off to play a few different systems, but we returned for a Rokugani sidequest at Winter court.
Since our return to Rokugan, all the characters were given holdings and status. The lion inherited acreage on the border of the Lion and Pheonix (I think) after his father was murdered by Maho wielding servents. The dragon was given a humble shrine and a ronin village, which is apparently some kind of slight. The crab was given an iron mining village, and now teaches the lost school to students at the Hiruma Castle, he was married off (to the Clan champion's niece) for protection to ensure that he lives long enough to pass on the teachings. All were invited to Winter Court in pheonix lands, where the new adventure takes place.
Phew.... This is long, and I have to get a bit of studying in. I'll explain the current events in a bit.
