Results stemming from Chapter 2

Yoshitane Ashikaga felt it necessary to react over the defeat of his Kamakura Kubo (chapter 2) in order to regain some respect for the Ashikaga clan. He set about on an offensive and experienced a brief triumph by winning a battle against Tokkaku Takayori. However, with dwindling support for the Shogun, primarily caused by the Ashikaga disgrace in the East, Yoshitane was forced into a confrontation with the Hosokawa.

The Ashikaga were defeated.

Yoshitane fled from Kyoto, and new influences began to worm their way into the ancient capital.


The year is now 1500, and Go-Kashiwabara has become Emperor.

The Imperial Household by this time held only a small remnant of power, but enough to still be considered important. However, the Emperor, his Kuge and Kugyon (Ministers) were essentially broke. There wasn't even enough money for a proper coronation. With the Ashikaga gone, many Imperial Ministers began accepting bribes from influential clans from outside of Kyoto, who wished to gain some influence within the court.

This is the setting for the first Sengoku Interlude.


Town

Town is Go-Kashiwabara and his Ministers.

Go-Kashiwabara is (alt). He cannot be lynched, killed, or recruited.* He can, however, vote as well as count towards Town's numbers.

The Imperial Court must eliminate the ability of outsiders to influence the household in order to win the game.

Scum

Scum are primarily Recruiters, attempting to bribe ministers away from the new Emperor. A scum faction must achieve numerical superiority over both town and the other scum faction(s?) to win.

The Imperial household has seen better days. The palace is run down, drafty and practically falling apart in places. Go-Kashiwabara (Silanah) was inheriting a position that held about as limited a power as the imperial household had ever known. His kuge (ministers) were broke, forced to sell their calligraphy and teach poetry to bearded smelly warriors to survive.

As newly arisen to a dilapidated throne, the emperor realized he would have to keep a close eye on the loyalty of his ministers. His ministers, he knew, would be keeping a close eye on him. They would have to take his silence on the future in one of two ways – either he was holding what power he possessed close to his chest, or he had no powers and was trying to appear more important that he could ever hope to be.

Only time would tell, if Go-Kashiwabara could manage to maintain control of his court, or if he would lose what little was left to the vultures who stood to gain from access to the imperial seal.

To do that I'd have to liquidate them first though...it would probably ruin them, and I don't think you'd get very clean.

Mighty one! I have this most rare and precious bag of skittles for you! Their many colors are but pale pebbles beside your resplendent scales!

[Barghast]
