A generation ago, the Scorpion Champion fell to plague, cursed to walk the land as undead. The time to end the Scorpion's shame is at hand. Who will stand with them?
Description:
A generation ago, a terrible plague cursed the Empire. Those who succumbed to it were born again, plague dead. 1000's of Rokugani perished and then rose to walk again in the final insult to their honor and their families. Countless enraged samurai rode the land to purge this dishonor. As the Destroyer War waned, the plague-dead were returned to the ash from whence they came, and the horror was left behind... Save for one incredibly deadly exception. For more than a generation, the corpse of former Scorpion Champion has walked the earth, hidden by shadows, eluding the hunters. The Disgrace, as the beast is known, has vexed the Scorpion endlessly. Bayushi Nitoshi, son of the Disgrace and current Scorpion Champion, will see the Disgrace destroyed. The winner of this tournament will determine the clan affiliation of the samurai who stands at his side when the final blow is at last struck.

L5R Storyline Invitational: The Last Vestige of Madness
Summary:
P'an Ku has been banished, but the remnants of his madness remain: duplicates born from his unholy eggs. The winner will have a hero of his clan hunt and claim their heads.
Description:
Mad dragon P'an Ku has been banished from the mortal realm for the time being. An entity of incomprehensible divine power, that cannot be destroyed, and may one day return. For the people of Rokugan in the modern era, the threat has ended. The dragon is gone, but its vestiges remain. The accursed Eggs of P'an Ku, artifacts of sinister nature and purpose, present in our mortal realm, have borne their evil fruit. The winner of this tournament may select anyone living personality affiliated with his clan. This personality will be responsible for destroying the doppelganger created from the ranks of his clan at GenCon 2013, becoming a hero of Rokugan in the process. If that clan has no doppelganger, then the duplicate will be one from 2nd place clan. If no duplicate exists in 2nd place clan, then proceed to 3rd place clan, then 4th place clan, and so on until a suitable target is found.
