Black Scroll (TCG)

The Black Scrolls were used to seal away power taken from external sources. Isawa used them to seal Fu Leng during the Day of Thunder. The Scorpion Thunder Shosuro could escape the Shadowlands with the scrolls, returning them to the Empire. Whispers of Shadow and Steel, by Mari Murdock
== History ==
=== Safekeeping ===
The Emperor Hantei ordered that these twelve scrolls never be opened and gave them to the Scorpion Clan for safekeeping. Emerald Empire: The Essential Guide to Rokugan, p. 11 
=== Loss of a Scroll ===
In the third century one of the scrolls was stolen from the Yogo family, by a human who used it and became the Obsidian Flower. Shadowlands: The Essential Guide to the Dominion of Fu Leng, p. 31 In the fifth century Bayushi Tesaguri sold three of the Black Scrolls to the Phoenix Clan; for this betrayal of the Scorpion Clan's sacred duty to protect the scrolls, he was punished with a ritual that bound his soul into a tree, trapping it in eternal torment, in the place known as Traitor's Grove. Emerald Empire: The Essential Guide to Rokugan, p. 41
=== A Fifth Scroll is Opened ===
The Scorpion Clan ascertained that four scrolls had been opened before the 12th century, at various times in the Empire’s history. The remaining eight were dispersed across the Empire, so that no one party would be able to open them all—or, at least, do so easily. In 1123 the Castle of Learning was assaulted, and The Skin of Fu Leng was moved to Otosan Uchi, within a Black Watch compound in the Hojize District. There, it was opened by the Scorpion Clan Champion Bayushi Shoju. A Worthy Opponent, by D.G. Laderoute
