🎯 Campaign Summary
🌫️ The Chaotic Eiroku Era
On an early summer morning, dense fog covered Ise and Kyoto, and four factions quietly began to move within the supernatural mist. This fog was not merely a natural phenomenon but functioned as a symbolic stage where each faction's ambitions and conspiracies intersected.
The Shadow Gale Clan sought to infiltrate Kyoto's political center through ninjutsu and espionage, while the Moonlit Onmyo Guild aimed to establish their position as spiritual guardians through barrier arts and shikigami operations. The Crimson Blade Vanguard pursued military superiority through bushidō and cavalry tactics, and the Silver Dutch Institute sought to gain leadership in technological innovation through the introduction of Western technology.
This multidimensional conflict among the four factions developed as a comprehensive strategic competition for hegemony in political, technological, and spiritual fields, transcending mere armed conflict. It concluded as a grand tale spanning 20 turns, from political settlement in Kyoto to the technological final battle at Edo Arsenal Dock.
