Naishou Province (RPG)

Naishou Province explores a forgotten corner of the Empire of Rokugan, where lies the small Naishou province. Unremarkable in virtually every way for as long as anyone can remember, the provincial governor of Naishou died under mysterious circumstances some time ago, and since then, things in the province have gotten… interesting. Intrigue and treachery have become the order of the day, and even the most honorable of samurai find themselves placed in impossible positions, both by the plots of enemies hidden in the shadows as well as by the machinations of their own allies. One entire province of the Empire has been completely detailed. It was released on August 2013.
