This list was compiled by Andy Daniels. The format was taken from Brian Spencer's spoiler lists, and was originally found on Geoff Speare's page.
Rarities of each card appear after the card name. C1=common - one copy on sheet, C2=common - two copies on sheet, U=uncommon, R=rare, CL=clan starter deck only. The Ancestral Weapon of the Mantis appears in Yoritomo Alliance starters, while the Temple of Osano-Wo appears in Brotherhood of Shinsei starter. The five Elemental Rings are also found in the Brotherhood starter.
Note that these are the abilities of the cards as they appear on the cards, without errata. For official errata, check out the L5R FAQ on Jeff Alexander's web page.
Two cards, Taro and Chime of Harmony, were printed with incorrect backs. They are both c2 cards, so there are versions with the correct backs. The misprinted cards are worth 3 koku each.
Several previously unaligned Personalities that appeared in previous sets have changed clan affiliation in Crimson and Jade. They are:
Kemmei - Tortoise Clan
Moshi Wakiza - Centipede Clan
Tsuruchi - Wasp Clan
These personalities also have the Yoritomo's Alliance trait and are found only in Yoritomo Alliance starters.
