Celestial Agonies

The Celestial Agonies was the text written by Goju about his research into the Lying Darkness. This text was lost to Rokugan when Goju was consumed by the darkness. It was also known as the Black Text. War of the Dead The Scorpion had no record of it among their secrets, the Ikoma Libraries did not know of it and even the Emperor's records did not contain a copy of the Black Text. Way of Shadow, p. 147
