For 2nd ed. L5R or 3rd ed. D&D, this book is a very useful tool. It is also valuable for those interested in any edition of L5R who want a better understanding of the Crane. Focusing on one of the great clans of Rokugan, this book provides history, geography, unique customs, and even secrets unknown by those outside the clan. It also includes good detail on the vassal families in service to the main families, allowing players a whole new aspect to choose when creating characters.

I didn't like this book so much as the older "Way of" books of first edition, the fact that this was during the time AEG decided to turn the game into a D20 didn't help either.
