The Book of Fire explores the Fire element, the fiercest and most destructive of the five elements. The Book of Fire is the third in a series of elemental sourcebooks for the Legend of the Five Rings Role-playing Game, books that explore the themes of the five elemental Rings. The Book of Fire explores the many aspects of samurai culture that center upon the tempestuous Fire Ring and its aspects. It includes an examination on kenjutsu, the way of the sword; a discussion of swordsmithing; the power of Fire magic; new Fire-centered Kiho and new monastic orders associated with Fire; and the Hundred Stances Dojo, a Fire-themed campaign setting that can be inserted into any L5R game.
