“Show me a man
who has no secrets, and I
will show you either a corpse
or a terrible threat to the

status quo.”

- Otomo Banu

Consumed with their own affairs and agendas, the
Great Clans of Rokugan rarely pay attention to the
goings on of the other groups that share the Empire
with them. The Minor Clans, ronin, the Brotherhood
of Shinsei, and even the Imperial families themselves
are often overlooked in the schemes of the Great
Clans, and often to the detriment of those who fail
to take them into account.

Secrets of the Empire presents, in great detail,
information concerning these groups, including
an exhaustive list of Rokugan’s Minor Clans, the
political intrigue of the Imperial families, and much
more detail on the workings of the Empire’s wave
men and the ubiquitous Brotherhood of Shinsei, not
to mention the mysterious Spirit Realms that lay just
beyond the reach of the mortal world. In this book
you will find:
c Ancestors for each of the groups mentioned

above!
c The history and culture of each of Rokugan’s

many Minor Clans!
c The secrets of the Hantei, Otomo, Seppun,

Miya, Toturi, and Iweko families!
c Information on many sects and practices of

the Brotherhood of Shinsei!
c And much, much more!
