The year is 1444 and Japan is fractured among the many Daimyos, vassals of the true Japanese state. The Lords of the many houses of Japan are constantly at odds with one another, while Shogun Yoshimasa Ashikaga rules in Kyoto. His ultimate goal is to unify all of the Daimyos of Japan under one flag, one nation.
On mainland Asia, Ming is the ruling force of this world. They are massive and overwhelming in their size and scope. An unmatched military of the East. Off of the Japanese island's immediate west coast is the kingdom of Korea and north of them are the various Manchurian Khanates of Jianzhou, Haixi, Korchin and Yeren. To Japan's south is Ryukyu, who occupy Okinawa. To the north are the Ainu tribe, making up modern day Japan's northernmost island, as well as the Kurils.
Can the Daimyos be brought under one flag? Can there be peace through the island nation so that they may prosper and stand the test of time?
