[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9257304, member: 6802378"] I had forgotten to say it, but here in AiR there aren't rules about the taint, when in the original RPG was a very important part. Can anybody tell me about the bloodspeaker class from "Tomb of Iuchiban"? In my game this is not only a dangerous dungeon but practically a demiplane, something like the "backrooms" of Rokugan. Then this could be found in different places. Some little changes in the cosmology: Toshigoku, the realm of slaughter is not only a punishment zone but also it works as a "cosmic firewall". There the souls keep their memories and they could leave the realm when they wanted, but the irony is they don't want, because they are too busy fighting for the power. It is something like a battle royal videogame. Gaki-do: the realm of hunger is not always so dessert, but there are some zones like little oases where crops are possible. Where is the trick? Some souls are reincarnated with plant traits, and they are the preys of the hungry gaki. Congratulations, your afterlife is a zombie apocalypse. The "Shadowlands" were "cleaned" in the material plane, but it still exits as a parallel land, with (secret) planar gates in all the continent. It is a dangerous land, but most of time there is a relative peace, because the "mortal" inhabitants need a lot of time to recover from the wear and tear of war. The nezumi have rebuilt their home there again. There are also other "kami" of children by Amaretasus and Onnotangu, among these the founders of the clan Mantis, Owl and Spider. The Ivory Kingdoms survived the destroyer war. The fact is there were sentient constructs fighting in both factions. The sailors of the mantis clan explored the ocean and they found new islands, but also the Castillan empire arrived before (and intervened in a civil war). This is the new ruler and they have started a new age of radical changes, but they aren't worse than the previous kings, and they would rather the marriage alliances than the conquest war. I suggest the name "Baratian" empire. Rokugans feel a strange love-hate feeling towards the Baratians, because their honor code may be radically different. Baratian History can be useful to learn important lessons about the true prize of dishonor, but also the great differences between prestige and honesty. No-humans are wellcome in the Baratian domains if they share the same monotheist religion by the Baratians (the devotions to the saints and angels is a different thing). Oficially Baratians and Rokugan empire are allies thanks several arranged marriages, but both sides don't end to trust each other. The relation among Baratians and Merenae is very complicated. Oficially they aren't enemies, or at least not after the plague. Yún Fēng Guó is secretly ruled by the lungs (imperial dragons who work for the Heavenly bureaucracy) and now they are too busy stopping a planar invasion by the formians (antropomorphic ants), who also use shapesifter infiltrators(werevernims). Some solar and moon dragons are "infiltrated" among the nagas and other no-human groups. Their origin is in "spirit sparks" from Amaretasus and Onnotangu. There are also solar and moon dragoborns, but these most of times are ordinary humans who mutated by different causes. There are also "kijin", blooddrinker vampires with their secret agendas, and they can infiltrate among the humans (but when they tried it in the Baratians domains they were discovered and hunted very soon. This is one of the main reasons because Rokugan accepted alliance with Baratians). [/QUOTE]
