 The fictional setting of "Legend of the Five Rings" is similar to feudal Japan, though it also includes aspects of other Asian cultures, as well as magic and mythical beasts.There is no given name for the entire world which the setting describes, so "Rokugan" is used alternately to refer to the specific nation within the setting or to refer to the entire world.Rokugani society is based on a clan structure, with seven (and later eight) so-called "Great Clans", as well as a number of minor clans.
