The realm is divided among six powers: Yuan, Wu, Sheng Tang, Qi, Chu, and Da Liao, each ruling its own territory.
To the west lies Qi, a drought-stricken land with little rain. To the north lies the Great Yuan Dynasty, with its vast territory. To the south lies Wu, prosperous in trade. To the east lies Sheng Tang, where spring lasts all year. To the northwest lies Da Liao, with its cold climate. To the northeast lies Chu, a land of varied terrain.
When Yuan and Chu entered into a grand marriage alliance, Chu acknowledged Yuan as its suzerain state, becoming a vassal and obeying the suzerain's decrees while honoring its ruler as king. Thus the realm was divided among five powers. In the north, Yuan grew ever stronger, changed its name from a kingdom to an empire, and its ruler proclaimed himself emperor. An imperial decree was announced to all under heaven: The throne belongs to the one of supreme rank, who answers to Heaven and is the true Son of the Dragon, entitled to command all under heaven. He gazed covetously down upon the various powers of the Central Plains. The people of the other four nations were thrown into alarm and refused to submit. Troops were constantly on the move, and war was on the brink of erupting...
Amid war and chaos, the people are left in misery.
In this tumultuous world, who will rule all under heaven?
