THE SAIBA FUTURISTS
The driven, highly secretive Futurists are a technocratic elite
at the forefront of technological innovation in Kamigawa.
They believe strongly in innovation and pushing the
boundaries of possibility, claiming impartiality to how the rest
of the plane views their research. In theory, the Futurists obey
Imperial restrictions on technological development, but in
practice, they often dabble on the edges of the law—and in
some cases step right over the line. Although many of their
inventions have aided the entire plane, they often hoard the
best knowledge for themselves to maintain power and status.
Whispers say they've pushed the boundaries of technological
development further than anyone can guess.
The Futurists are organized into divisions, each headed by
a chief. All divisions have researchers and experimentalists,
but some are secretive to the point of paranoia and employ
agents of espionage. Projects are given cryptic code names
and are surrounded by magical occlusion veils. The only
person with complete insight into the entire organization is
the head of the Futurists, whose identity is shrouded in
mystery.
Most Futurists prefer not to rely on kami magic because
they see it as putting themselves at the whim of the kami.
They would rather be free to experiment and explore on their
own terms. Occasionally, they'll consult with kami, but for the
most part, they prefer to rely on their own ingenuity to figure
things out. Nevertheless, some individual Futurists have
chosen to experiment with kami magic and the very forces
that govern reality.
The current director of the Saiba Futurists is the moonfolk
Emire (LN moonfolk mage). He is called the Living
Breakthrough because he has augmented himself with
extensive prototype origami enhancements, and some believe
he may be as much machine as mortal.

THE ORDER OF JUKAI
The Order of Jukai believes that technology is damaging the
fabric of nature. When its leader, the orochi Shigeki (CN
orochi assassin), bonded with a nature kami, he experienced
a prophetic dream of the spirit realm shattering. He vowed to
stop the vision from coming true and named his new Order THE LIVING

THE RECKONERS
The Reckoners form a sprawling, loosely connected series of
criminal gangs that trace their history to before the Kami
War. Usually, they operate openly as legitimate businesses,
but anyone who crosses them is quickly met with harsh
violence according to a strict code. Alliances, betrayals, and
turf wars between gangs are common, but those same gangs
will unite against outsiders. Of Kamigawa's major
organizations, the Reckoners are the most flexible and have
no problem relying on both technology and kami powers—
whatever gets the job done. They aren't very concerned with
what the future should look like—so long as they can profit
from it.
The Reckoners attract members who have grown
disillusioned with society. Many an embittered, cynical
Imperial samurai has joined the Reckoners' ranks, but they
also recruit poisoners, kami channelers, and ninjas. No
matter a person's origin, there's a strong sense of family and
fellowship within the Reckoners.
Tests of loyalty are demanded on a regular basis. Every
member of the Reckoners is inked with magical tattoos that
ensure loyalty and prevent betrayal; the penalty of leaving or
crossing is a reckoning. As a recruit climbs the ranks, they
receive additional tattoos, each representing a new binding or
connection forged within the gang. Bosses are often tattooed
from neck to toe.
ONI CULTS
People from all walks of life are drawn to demon worship,
seduced by the promise of power and destruction offered.
Though they're collectively referred to as cultists, individual
practitioners have little to do with each other. Many are
openly hostile to each other, so they tend to live in places
where they can blend in or move frequently to avoid
attracting unwarranted attention. Nevertheless, they all share
a similar goal: feed their demon patron enough power to
break the bindings that chain them to the spirit realm.
Demons themselves are entities of chaos and destruction
that were locked away in the spirit realm by Kyodai centuries
ago. Cut off from the mortal realm, they are unable to feed
freely, and their power dwindles. The cultists' most well-
known figure is Hidetsugu, once an ogre who merged with
the All-Devouring Oni of Chaos to become an entity of
destruction and hunger incarnate. He is both revered among
other demon cultists for having achieved the impossible and
simultaneously the one they all want to devour to take his
role.

TOWABARA
Towabara is the massive plain at the center of Kamigawa.
Within Towabara there are numerous Imperial villages;
including Kodaira, built around an Imperial military outpost,
and the village of Kofu which lies at the foot of the mountains.
EIGANJO
Eiganjo Castle was built by Takeshi Konda, instigator of the
Kami War, and was built upon the bones of its ancient former
castle self, Eiganjo is a place where ancient shrines and
ancestral homes exist side by side with sleekly modern
structures. Ancient architecture is painstakingly maintained
and incorporated rather than torn down or built over, creating
a sense of elegance and harmony between past and present.
The Imperial Palace proper is where high-ranking
members of the Imperial court live and work, and pilgrims
come to seek an audience with the emperor. The main shrine
to Kyodai, the guardian spirit of Kamigawa, is located within
the palace. The castle also boasts a magnificent sakura
garden.
Outside of the palace is Eigan Town, a large human
settlement, and Golden-Tail Academy, the most famous and
unparalleled Samurai academy. The current headmaster is
Swift-Arm (LG kitsune seven-tail mentor).
ARABA
The Araba is a blasted wasteland north of Towashi, full of
craters from the Kami War. There one can find Reito, a
decimated and abandoned human mining city, where the first
attacks of the war began.

KAMITAKI
Lake Kamitaki is a large body of water in the North of
Kamigawa, bordering the Towabara Plains, Towashi (which
used to be the Jukai Forest), and the Takenuma swamps.
From it flows the great Kamigawa River and the lesser Akagi
River. Mikokoro is a rumored sacred island of crystal, that lies
at the heart of the seas north of Kamitaki.
MINAMO
Minamo is the "school at water's edge," built around and
above the lake and the Kamitaki Falls. The academy is
comprised of both ordinary buildings and buildings held
magically aloft. It served as a place of study of magic, history,
and kami before the Kami War. The school is still operational,
but with the advent of technology, has been largely replaced
by Otawara.
OTAWARA
Otawara is a floating city of the Soratami, resting in the
clouds above Kamitaki. Many of its buildings are covered in
metal and glass. There are surveillance drones everywhere,
and enormous, origami mechs that prowl the edges of the
floating city.
Formerly the exclusive domain of the moonfolk, the
floating city has opened its doors to intrepid researchers of
all kinds. Nevertheless, it remains a place of beauty and
mystery. Mist and clouds swirl between buildings. Pathways
and entrances are hidden and deliberately confusing, meant
to dissuade outsiders. The only place non-moonfolk are still
forbidden is Oboro, the Ancient Palace, which is considered
sacred ground to the moonfolk and guarded day and night.

SOKENZAN
The Sokenzan mountain range is the largest in Kamigawa
and it lies south of Eiganjo. It is the ancestral home of the
akki and o-bakemono. It is currently the center of operations
for the Asari Uprisers.
Other locations include Ganzan Pass, an infamously deadly
pass through the mountain range. There is a famous merge-
gate in the mountains called the God's Eye gate. Another site
of interest is the ruins of Godo's Hall, the meeting place of an
infamous ronin bandit lord.
SOKENZASHI
The hardy, self-reliant city of Sokenzanshi is home to a
thriving community of independent artisans and tinkerers.
Foundries and ironworks are built right into the sides of the
mountains to shelter from frequent snowstorms and tap
straight into the fires at the mountain's heart. Life in the
mountain city isn't the easiest, and those who call the city
their home are stubborn, resourceful, and fiercely committed
to their way of life. A system of natural mineral hot springs
dot the slopes surrounding the city and are very popular all
year round.
SHINKA KEEP
Also called the Bloodsoaked Keep, Shinka was the hermitage
of Hidetsugu, the o-bakemono who worshipped and merged
with the All-Consuming Oni of Chaos. Its exact location is
only known to a select few oni worshippers. Today, ogre
mages and oni cultists of all kinds make the pilgrimage to
Shinka to study magic and the oni.
TENDO PEAKS
The Tendo Peaks are the steepest mountains of the
Sokenzan, clothed in bitter cold. The Heart of Frost is a tall
peak where dwells a legendary Yuki-onna (CE ghost), a kami
of those lost in the snow. Untaidake is the tallest peak of the
mountains, sometimes called the needle that weaves the
fabric of creation.

TAKENUMA
Takenuma is a fetid swamp of rotten bamboo, poisoned
water, foul air, and perpetual dusk. It is the ancestral home of
the nezumi. Oni made this area their home during the kami
war. Many believe the swamps to still be cursed; without a
proper burial, spirits of the dead can rise as wraiths.
VILLAGES
Takenuma is home to several villages. Kitanosu and
Takenosu are two nezumi villages deep within the swamps.
The village of Numai was originally a human village, but was
long ago abandoned, becoming a safe haven for gangs, oni
cultists, and dark mages. Miren is a haunted well somewhere
in the swamps, presumably built for a village that has long
since sunk deep beneath the mire.
SHIZŌ
Shizō, death's storehouse, is a battlefield ruin within the
swamps. More than a hundred years before the Kami War, it
was a verdant field with beautiful flowers, until two great
daimyo set their armies against one another for nothing more
than greed and ambition. After 891 samurai were killed all in
one battle, in the name of such selfish causes, the meadow
where they battled became a forbidden mire of mummified
corpses in the mud.
It is rumored that the blood overflowing from this
battlefield ran into the neighboring bamboo forest, and; thus
Takenuma was born.
TOMB OF URAMI
No one is certain of the location of the Tomb of Urami, but
many believe it lies hidden in the swamps of Takenuma
because of the oni who dwelled there. According to legend,
Urami, the kami of ceaseless hunger, made a pact with an
ogre clan to procure corporeal food from the mortal world, in
the form of mortals themselves. Rumors then spread that
Urami had died, and many mortals ventured to see his grave;
but others still claim that this is a trap set by the oni, who
devours all who dare venture near his "tomb".

HUMAN
Humans in Kamigawa are believed to come from the central
plains of Towabara, where they were once ruled by the
daimyo, feudal warlords. They are the progenitors and main
citizens of the Empire, which was formed at the end of the
Kami War to help Kyodai, the kami of the realm, to maintain
the peace between the spirit and mortal worlds. Humans are
also known for having befriended and trained the giant moths
of Kamigawa as mounts, which the Imperials often ride into
battle, and for having started Minamo Academy long before
the Kami war.
In the modern era, humans can be found throughout
Kamigawa in its many villages and cities, and among all of
the various groups and factions found in the plane, showing
their adaptability and versatility.
HUMAN NAMES

world around them. They are born into a clan, with some clan

history.

KITSUNE
The kitsune of Kamigawa are cunning, tricksy masters of
diplomacy and swordmanship. They are curious and fond of
playing pranks, mostly harmless ones for their own
amusement.
Kitsune are long-lived beings with very strong beliefs in
their traditions. They tend to live in large, close-knit family
clans related through blood and marriage. Kitsune are proud
of their lineages and are able to trace their ancestry back
through multiple generations.
The more a kitsune experiences, the more tails they grow,
with the wisest elders having nine tails. The average kitsune
is slighter and shorter than the average human, with the top
of a kitsune's head coming up to a human's chin. They have
white fur with red markings.
KITSUNE NAMES
Whatever a kitsune might be named at birth, a kitsune will
often choose to change as it grows and gains more tails,
reflecting its new understanding of the world and itself.
Kitsune names are usually hyphenated and fixated on
physical properties.
Example Names: Autumn-Tail, Iron-Claw, Light-Paws, Opal-
Eye, Pearl-Ear, Rune-Tail, Silk-Eyes, Silver-Foot, Snow-Fur,
Swift-Arm, Tender-Hand
KITSUNE TRAITS
You have the following racial traits.
Creature Type. You are a Humanoid.
Size. You are Medium.
Speed. Your walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you
as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim
light. You discern colors in that darkness only as shades of
gray.
Many Tails of Wisdom. You have a fox-like tail, and you
grow more tails as you grow in knowledge and experience:
two tails at 3rd level, three tails at 5th level, four tails at 7th
level, five tails at 9th level, six tails at 11th level, seven tails at
13th level, eight tails at 15th level, and nine tails at 17th level.
If you miss with an attack roll or fail an ability check or a
saving throw, you can draw on your gained knowledge to gain
a bonus to the roll equal to your proficiency bonus. You can
use this trait a number of times equal to the number of tails
you have, regaining all expended uses when you finish a long
rest, and you can use it no more than once per turn.
Trickster Fox. You have proficiency in one of the following
skills of your choice: Acrobatics, Deception, Perception,
Sleight of Hand, Stealth, or Survival.
Vulpine Cunning. You have advantage on Intelligence
(Investigation) checks you make to determine illusions, and
on Wisdom (Insight) checks you make to determine whether
someone is lying to you.

MOONFOLK
The moonfolk, or soratami, are an enigmatic race of
humanoid beings who are capable of flight and dwell in
floating cities of Kamigawa's sky. Physically, they are slim,
possess blue-gray skin, and have long ears which they
sometimes wrap over their heads.
The moonfolk claim to be descended from a moon Myojin.
They live within the floating city of Otawara, which rests in
the clouds above lake Kamitaki. They watch over the world
below, mostly indifferent to the concerns of the surface folk.
They have a high emphasis on the study of magic and
technology, with the Director of the Saiba Futurists being a
moonfolk researcher.
MOONFOLK NAMES
Moonfolk do not use familial names, instead relying on
mononyms. In rare cases, a moonfolk might hold a title that
is recognized among their people and used to differentiate
them from others with the same name.
Example Names: Chiyo, Eitoku, Erayo, Katsumasa, Kotori,
Meloku, Tameshi, Tamiyo, Uyo
MOONFOLK TRAITS
You have the following racial traits.
Creature Type. You are a Humanoid.
Size. You are Medium.
Speed. Your walking speed is 30 feet.
Cantrip. You know one cantrip of your choice from the
wizard spell list. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your
spellcasting for that cantrip (choose when you select this
race).
Kami's Legacy. You have advantage on saving throws you
make to avoid or end the charmed condition on yourself.
Flight. You have a flying speed equal to your walking speed.
You can't use this flying speed if you're wearing medium or
heavy armor.

NEZUMI
The Nezumi are a race of anthropomorphic rats native to the
Takenuma swamps. In times past, Kamigawa's other races
ostracized and stereotyped the nezumi. Though in recent
years the feelings toward the nezumi have softened, they are
still oftentimes seen as outsiders in the Empire and its lands.
The nezumi traditionally live in independent swamp
villages, or in roaming nezumi gangs. Nezumi did not have
magical traditions until the theft of scrolls from Minamo
Academy; nezumi then developed unique practices, such as
that of the insect-shaman, sometimes called a miser, who can
control swarms of Takenuma insects. These shamans also
developed bone-reading, a type of divination. With the advent
of technology, some nezumi samurai practice the
bladeblessing, combining technology and magic to enhance
their weaponry, while the nezumi of the legendary Okiba
reckoner gang are renowned for being the best engineers and
pilots of cyberbikes.
Nezumi have a wide range of gray and brown fur colors.
They are characteristically smaller and lighter than other
races, and so make naturally adept ninjas, spies, scouts, and
pilots.
NEZUMI NAMES
Nezumi have their own language in which they name
themselves, but they often use translated names in the
common tongue when among others. Nezumi names are
usually compound words that describe the physical
characteristics, personality traits, or professional habits of
the person.
Example Names: Ashcoat, Black-nose, Greasefang, Ink-eyes,
Marrow-gnawer, Nighteyes, Silver-fur, Skullsnatcher,
Stabwhisker, Split-tail
NEZUMI TRAITS
You have the following racial traits.
Creature Type. You are a Humanoid.
Size. You are Small.
Speed. Your walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you
as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim
light. You discern colors in that darkness only as shades of
gray.
Murine Talents. You have proficiency in the Perception and
Stealth skills.
Nezumi Resilience. You have resistance to poison damage
and immunity to disease, and you have advantage on saving
throws you make to avoid or end the poisoned condition on
yourself.
Nimble Escape. You can take the Disengage or Hide action
as a bonus action on each of your turns.

CLASSES
C haracters of any class can be found in Kamigawa,
though some classes are rarer than others. The
following section provides guidelines on playing
certain classes in Kamigawa.
Rangers might be found among the Jukai Order as
defenders of the forest. A Swarmkeeper* or Beast Master
might be bonded to a particular kami, while a Fey Wanderer*
or Horizon Walker* might be a defender of merge-gates.

Clerics or kannushi revere the kami, particularly powerful
ones like the Dragon Spirits, at the many shrines throughout
the lands of Kamigawa. Your DM might allow you to choose
the city domain of Unearthed Arcana: Modern Magic, which
might be a kannushi who reveres a kami of technology or
progress.
Druids or yamabushi are most in tune with nature,
respecting it and drawing magic from the kami of the
elements. Most druids would be at home in the Jukai Forest
or the Sokenzan mountains. Druids of the Circle of Spores†
might be insect-shamans, taught by the nezumi of the
Takenuma swamps.
Fighters are quite common in Kamigawa; the Imperials,
Reckoner gangs, and all other factions all employ some kind
of muscle. Samurai are especially favored and renowned in
Kamigawa.
Monks who seek enlightenment, such as the Way of
Mercy*, are called budoka and might be found among the
Jukai Order or Living Historians. Other monks might be
ninjas or shinobi, employed by Reckoner gangs in Towashi or
by the Futurists.
Paladins would be similar to Samurai. They are warriors
who swear oaths and fight for a cause. The oaths of
Conquest† or Devotion might be loyal to the Empire, while
the oaths of Ancients or Watchers* might be warriors who
fight against or alongside kami.

Everything.

CORPSE-SWALLOWER
TOAD
Corpse-swallower toads are native to the swamps of
Takenuma and the Undercity of Towashi. They are so named
because they grow to enormous size, and are scavengers,
feeding off of the bodies of other creatures that have died in
the muck and mire. A corpse-swallower toad might start life
as a frog, then grow to become a giant frog or giant toad (see
the Monster Manual for statistics), before becoming a fully
mature corpse-swallower toad.
CORPSE-SWALLOWER TOAD
Large Beast, Unaliged
ACTIONS
Multiattack. The toad makes one Bite attack and one
Tongue attack.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
target. Hit: 15 (3d6 + 5) piercing damage, and the target
is grappled (escape DC 16) if it is a Large or smaller
creature. Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained,
and the toad can't use its Bite attack or Tongue attack on
another target.
Tongue. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 15 ft., one
creature. Hit: 10 (3d6) bludgeoning damage, and the
target must make a DC 16 Strength saving throw. On a
failed save, the target is pulled to a space within 5 feet of
the toad.
Swallow. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
Medium or smaller creature grappled by the toad. Hit: 15
(3d6 + 5) piercing damage. The creature is also swallowed,
and the grapple ends. The swallowed creature is blinded
and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other
effects outside the toad, and it takes 10 (3d6) acid
damage at the start of each of the toad's turns. The toad
can have only one target swallowed at a time.
If the toad dies, a swallowed creature is no longer
restrained by it and can escape from the corpse using 5
feet of movement, exiting prone. Art
