“The essence of
Fire is the way of passion and destruction, of creation and death. It is oneness
with the driving impulses of the innermost spirit and the sheer, raging
intensity of the wildfire that scours the plains.”
Fire is the
fiercest and most destructive of the five elements, the burning passion that
drives men both to war and to create in equal measure. The searing influence of
the flames can push mortals to pen the most beautiful of poems or perform the
most impassioned dances, to sing the most mournful of all song, or the paint the
most resonating images one’s eye has ever beheld. Likewise, fire can push a man
to anger, to wrath and ruin, to destruction and death. No war has ever been
fought that was not driven by the burning inside one man’s
soul.
The Book of Fire
is the third in a series of elemental sourcebooks for the Legend of the Five
Rings Role-playing Game, books that explore the themes of the five elemental
Rings. The Book of Fire explores the many aspects of samurai culture that center
upon the tempestuous Fire Ring and its aspects. From the silent intensity of the
poet to the blazing chaos of the field of battle, every aspect of the fearsome
essence of Fire will be examined.
In this book you
will find:
- · An extensive examination on the Emerald Empire’s emphasis on the art of kenjutsu, the way of the sword, and its many aspects, including how thousands of samurai across the land are trained in its intricacies each and every year.
- A detailed discussion of the most sacred of all crafting arts: swordsmithing.
- The power of Fire magic in its many aspects, from sheer destruction to repair, inspiration, and enhancement.
- New Fire-centered Kiho and new monastic orders associated with Fire.
- The Hundred Stances Dojo, a new and detailed Fire-themed campaign setting that can be inserted into any L5R game.
