Eijiro sighed. We cant go into Lion lands.
How much is your head?
What? No, Junko, I dont have a bounty.
Oh. Did you anger someone terribly, then?
Er, yes… Eijiro thought of his father, his mother, and his aunt. The arguments. Stealing away at night with a bundle of koku, his katana, and his now long-lost silk kimono. Yes, a lot of angry people.
Then we can just kill them. Its what were good at, after all.

Enter the world of outcasts in Path of Waves, the third sourcebook for the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game! This 256-page setting guide takes you to the forgotten heart of the Emerald Empire where masterless rōnin, foreign gaijin, and others who dont fit neatly into the grand design of the divine hierarchy struggle in tales of camaraderie, redemption, and revenge.

Path of the Waves details the difficult lives of those living on the fringes of society, including a new set of The Game of Twenty Questions that adds myriad new options to create rōnin, peasant, and gaijin characters, as well as Adventure seeds, NPC profiles, and two fully-realized settings to bring the world of Rokugan to life. Are you ready to step off the well-known path and forge your own destiny?
