Courtly Nets and Hidden Snares

Bayushi Shoju reigns over Rokugan as the Imperial Regent, but his rule is not free from unrest. As conflicts between the Lion and the Unicorn continue to erupt, Kakita Yoshi sees an opportunity to pressure Shoju, undermining his rule and potentially exposing a fatal weakness. But as Yoshi lays his schemes, the question arises—has he also forsaken a path of honor and wisdom? Are the Crane any better than the Scorpion?
