An alternate Japan, in which three clans, vying for control and unification of Japan, emerge, defeating even the most powerful warlords of the era. Which of the three clans will reign supreme? Kagura, with their ninja arts? Nobuki, in their search for lasting peace? Or Shikima, with their tyrannical control of the populace? This is set in the Empires 2 game, not the main series.
