I am here for MAttfn & ShowerComic's wedding which was today. It was lovely a Star Trek wedding and a blast.
I am not sure who the 3rd edition centers around, but in the current storyline in the ccg Toturi is not emperor, currently we have Empress Iweko I, from Dragon clan, but this is very new from the most recent World championship and probably not reflected in the 3rd edition. If you want to know what the storyline is currently, check here:

Going Japanese is always a fun thing Banzai :D
