The mighty castles and sprawling cities of Rokugan are merely tiny islands of civilization in the vast wilderness that surrounds and envelops the Emerald Empire. From the dark and haunted depths of the Shinomen Mori forest to the sharp and icy peaks of the Great Wall of the North mountains, these ancient and wild lands hold countless dangers for the unwary. Only the wise samurai of the Dragon Clan embrace their writ to live in the wilds, and create the bridge between this world and civilization.
Writ of the Wilds explores the wilds of Rokugan, as well as the mysterious Dragon clan who makes these lands their home. In this sourcebook for the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game, you will find exciting new information on gaming in the Rokugani wilderness and the territories of the Dragon.

Tales of the strange beings and spirits that haunt the Shinomen Mori, and the various cultures and species that live outside of Rokugan's society.

- Theme: Players take on the roles of samurai from one of the "Great Clans," such as the Crab, Crane, Dragon, Lion, Phoenix, Scorpion, or Unicorn clans. They must balance their personal desires with their duty to their lord and the Code of Bushidō.
