The Trials of Bushido
A Storyline Event Series for the
Legend of the Five Rings CCG

Every morning, the true samurai rises with the knowledge that today may well be the day he is honored with death in service to his lord. This is not a matter of fear or regret, but one of joy, for there is no greater destiny for any samurai to achieve than to prove his unwavering devotion to his lord through death. Every day, thousands of samurai face trials of every conceivable manner. Many prove their worth and continue their lives of honorable service. Some die and wait to be reborn and seek their destiny anew. And a very fortunate few have the opportunity to demonstrate, to themselves and to their lord, that the code of bushido lives within their soul.
Bushido is the code of the samurai, not only warriors but shugenja, artisans, and courtiers as well. It is a philosophy of life that, when embraced, allows a samurai to achieve his destiny through strength of will and purity of purpose. On occasion, ordinary samurai placed in extraordinary circumstances can exhibit the true soul of a samurai. The so-called Champions of Bushido, seven samurai honored by the Emperor for their valor against treacherous bandits, were such individuals, but many more exist that rarely achieve such acclaim. For them, the true reward is in the certainty of their life.
The Trials of Bushido is a seven-part series of tournaments that will allow the winner to benefit their faction. The winning faction of each tournament will see one personality of that faction as the central figure in a fiction detailing their struggle with an obstacle that must be overcome in the name of their clan. Whether the individual succeeds or fails, the faction in question will benefit from their perseverance. Regardless of the individual’s fate, the Brotherhood shall recognize their achievements or sacrifice by erecting a shrine to the specified tenet of bushido within the lands of the winning faction.

Please register fast as we can only seat 64 players in our venue! Keep in mind that those who pay first get’s the spot first. If you do not pre-pay for registration, you will get a spot on our reserve list. We keep a list of registered players online, so you can always see if there is room left in this event. If the 64 spots are taken up fast and more people are interested in playing, we will find a solution, but for now the max is 64.

Pre-registration is only 15,- Euro! For this amount you will get great custom made prizes, a lovely venue located inside a pub and a free booster draft side event!

Maastricht is reachable by Car (parking lot called Vrijthof only 800m from venue) by Train (trainstation only 15min walk from venue, or reachable by bus) and even by Airplane (Maastricht shares an Airport with Aachen). Maastricht is a lovely city with a very old city centre and a bustling night life full of pubs and clubs.

The venue where we play is the top floor of a pub! Imagine the great atmosphere we’ll have. Though playing in a pub also means that players cannot bring their own drinks; as we got a very fair prize for the venue rent we promised our players would use the pub downstairs for food and drinks. For those who were at the BeNeLux Kotei: prices of foods and drinks at the pub are about 50 cents per item lower as at Zwolle!

Our website currently lacks some essential information, like a map of Maastricht and photo’s of the venue. Those things will be added as soon as our webmaster returns from vacation.

If you have any questions or need any help in arranging your coming to our event, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. faber@brz.nu or benniekalf@hotmail.com will get you an answer within the day.

Kyudens Holland and Belgium hope to see you all in Maastricht very soon!

PS sorry that we do not have a French mirror to our site. Due to delays in its construction and the vacation of our webmaster we did not have the time to create one. But please be assured that at the event we will have French speaking judges!
