Aftermath is the expansion leading to the release of the new base set for the fan favorite Legend of the Five Rings Collectible Card Game from AEG. Like the previous expansions - Coils of Madness and Gates of Chaos - it is part of both the Emperor and Ivory Arc. As power is reluctantly transferred back to the Imperial Governor in the Colonies after P'an Ku's defeat, the sons of the Empress make their presence felt. Will the emergence of these high-status samurai shatter the newfound equilibrium?
