=== God-Beast unleashed ===
In 1172 the majority of the Crab lands were under the Destroyers control, and the pace had diminished in the Scorpion lands in order to set the majority of the human vassals to the Black Scroll search.

Legulus did not choose to serve Kali-Ma of his own free will, but that did not lessen his rage over her death. So few men were privileged to serve a goddess, and the Rokugani had taken that away from him. He devised a plan to kill a Rokugani Clan Champion, the first of many, as vengeance. The majority of the troops under his command had not been born Yodotai, but were trained into Yodotai customs by Legulus. Yodotai Legionnaire (Gates of Chaos flavor)
