Welcome to the Shadowlands Refuge of the Lion Clan!
"Its lips are torn and bloodied, its flesh lies rotting at the bottom of the sea. Yet he is still my Emperor, and I hear his voice foaming up from the depths of the Pit, echoed in this eternal cup of bone...Where he commands, I have no choice but to follow." From "Fu Leng's Skull"
