Shadowlands

As the Kami created the Empire of Rokugan, the fallen Kami Fu Leng? created the Shadowlands. The Shadowlands is the wasteland that lies to the southwest of Rokugan, a twisted, nightmarish place corrupted by the power of Jigoku, the Realm of Evil.

It was created when Fu Leng fell from heaven, and left a crater known as the Festering Pit deep within the Shadowlands. It was from here that the Taint spread out, blighted, and corrupted the land. This is also where demons and evil spirits can cross freely from Jigoku into Ningen-do?. The Shadowlands is a constantly shifting and uninhabitable nightmare come to life. It is home to oni, ogres, trolls, goblins, the Lost? and countless other vile creatures.

The Crab Clan? hold the forces of the Shadowlands at bay along the Carpenter Wall.
