No, we can't reveal the story, because we had only the very basics sketched.
I would imagine that it was something like: Fu Leng would sit on the throne,
Rokugan would be a dark, blasted place, and the clans would have been more
or less resistance fighters against the Shadowlands evil that stalked the
land. But like many potential threads, we never explored that one. In a
similar manner, who knows what would have happened if a Phoenix had won DoT?
Tsukune as the Empress? O-Ushi as her shogun? Coulda been. We'll never know.
And that's the beauty of it, IMHO.
