L5R Second Century

101: Reported Death of Togashi

When Doji travels to the land of the Dragon Clan to visit with her brother, Togashi, she is turned away at the gate. This was the first news of the death of the Dragon Kami.

102: Disappearance of Doji

Lady Doji is wracked with depression after watching the fickle mortal world shift and change, as she remains constant. As she has never been close to her sole remaining sibling, Hida, Doji begins to feel very alone. With that, Lady Doji imparts her final wisdom to her son Nio and walks into the sea, never to be seen again.

110: Creation of the Badger Clan

The Badger Clan, one of the smallest of Rokugan's Minor Clans, is founded to guard the northern passes of the Empire.

145: Book of Sun Tao written

The origins of the man known as Sun Tao are open to speculation, but it is generally believed that he wrote his treatise on warfare during this period. The writings of the ronin general are valued as greatly as the observations of Akodo himself, sometimes even more so. The missing original copies of his manuscript are among the most greatly prized treasures in Rokugan.

153: Emerald Magistrate and Emerald Legions founded

Experienced military officer Doji Hatsu and skilled Courtier Soshi Saibankan begin to draft methods by which quality soldiers could be conscripted and magistrates could enforce the law of the Empire. Hatsu and Saibankan soon devise the framework for the Imperial Legions and the Emerald Magistrates, respectively. The new system guarantees that the Emperor's conscripts and magistrates will work closely, with powers that compliment one another without being excessive. The system persists without radical change to this day.

200: First Mention of the Naga

A Crab named Kaiu Sudaro loses his son in the Shinomen forest. The Mara, a creature with a great snake tail and a human body, rescues the boy. By all accounts, this is the first notation in the Empire of the Naga, who soon become deeply integrated into Rokugani myth and legend.
