Hisoka-sama,

the tournaments the Crane is sponsoring on behalf of the Empress seem to have their expected effect on the samurai: 54 samurai competed at the Academy for the title of Turquoise  Champion and over 500 samurai total have attended the various festivities the sons of Doji have organized since the start of the month of Akodo.
Utemaro-sama seems to have a knack for finding Koku. How he does it, I do not know, but I can only marvel at the amount we’ve received so far in the war effort: over 10,000 more Koku worth of pledges have been received by the Academy, bringing the total to over 17,000 Koku since the start of that specific drive.

Ongoing totals of the the Attendance and Koku Drive Honor Contests can be found on the official forums.

United, the Empire will prevail. Divided it will crumble.

Empire at War will be released from distributors on September 20th, and should arrive to your local game store slightly after. Please check your local game store to see when they will receive it. Due to its earlier release at Gen Con, and most of the set being spoiled over a month prior to its release, we are upping the legality date slightly from the normal 30 days. EaW will become tournament legal on Friday, October 15th.

As with Gen Con, until IG 3 is released to the stores proxies are legal for all tournament play. We do anticipate to receive and distribute IG 3 in the near future. Once we have a more definitive date, we will announce it. Thank you.

Honorable samurai of the Empire,

The Kakita Artisan Academy will hold a special contest during the month of Shiba. Every samurai that wishes can come to the Academy and have the chance to demonstrate his knowledge to the Empire. The series of questions asked during the entire month will encompass all aspects of Rokugan, and of the Academy as well.

The winner of this contest will bring great honor to his Clan.
