There are those in Rokugan who do not care for politics, war, or honor beyond the personal advantage they can gain from them. They care only for wealth and power, the kind that cannot be gained through honorable means. From the secret opium dens that lie hidden in the hearts of major cities to the bandit outposts that dot the countryside, explore the seedy underbelly of Rokugan that most samurai deny exists.

Way of the Thief explores the heretofore hidden criminal societies that exist in Rokugan. It contains all the information needed to run a dishonorable campaign, or it can be used to provide truly developed and unique opponents for magistrates and honorable samurai.
