[edit] Challenges
In 1165 he laid down the Challenges of Enlightenment to pass on the legacy of Shinsei. [citation needed]
[edit] Death
Rosoku was assassinated by the Bloodspeaker Shukumei in Toshi Ranbo wo Shien Shite Reigisaho in 1166 before all the challenges had been completed. [citation needed]
[edit] Son
Following Rosoku's death, the Keepers led by Asahina Sekawa began searching the Empire for Rosoku's child. Sekawa had found a scroll in the Tomb of the Seven Thunders that indicated that Rosoku had not been the last descendant of Shinsei. In 1169 the Keepers found Rosoku's son, and Sekawa took it upon himself to guard and raise the small child. Sekawa relinquished his stations, and took the child beyond the northern borders of Rokugan. [citation needed]
