Hello, all. We hope you're enjoying Shattered Empire Edition. First of all, We want to highlight some more amazing community art from Jonny Hinkle, one of our most prolific contributors. This time it's two cards, one from RtR, and the other from GoT. Both are now available for download in our Community Contributed Art section of our Drive, under his name.
That being said, we are also putting out a call for any interested artists that want to contribute to our project for our next expansion, Chaos Reigns, Part III, which is set to drop sometime later this Fall. There's plenty of time, so feel free to check the CRIII Art Assignments document and reach out to us via Discord or our Facebook Group and let us know if you see something that sparks your interest. We have a lot of great art from the community we're looking forward to showing off from Chaos Reigns, Part II.
Speaking of which, let's talk about that set now!
Chaos Reigns, Part II is the fourth Shattered Empire release, and brings the focus back to the conflict in Rokugan proper after CRI's focus on events in the Colonies. Akodo Kano, the man who once stepped away from leadership of his Clan, now finds himself trying to hold together a fragile and disparate alliance to oppose the usurper, the so-called 'Hantei XL', Daigotsu Kanpeki.
This 82 card expansion largely focuses on the efforts of Kano's Alliance to unseat Kanpeki and place the princess, Iweko Miaka, on the throne. However, the Colonial Governor still claims to hold in her custody the orphaned child of Iweko II, who would be the legitimate heir, though Miaka claims the Empress was not pregnant. Rumors that Kano is either a madman still listening to the ghosts that once told him to abdicate in favor of his sister, or a shameless opportunist using Miaka as a puppet to establish himself as a 'New Toturi', continue to cast a shadow over every decision he makes.
