Ōnin War

>Auto cards enabled< My attempt at a realistic scenario in the age of samurai. Most had a lot of fantasy elements and while that is fun and great it doesn't satisfy everyone's need so I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm no expert on this time period or culture so wiki and Google were used to research. Please excuse any errors or non historically correct information. And as always enjoy! Japan, 1467 The winds of peace have died. The Ashikaga shogunate crumbles under its own weight. The once orderly world of the samurai is now fractured clan turns on clan, brother on brother as the nation plunges into chaos. In Kyoto, the Ōnin War ignites like a slow-burning fire, consuming not only the capital but the very soul of Japan. Lords scheme in smoke-filled halls. Ronin walk the streets like ghosts untethered, desperate, and dangerous. The court is hollow, the temples aflame, and the common folk suffer in silence beneath the boots of marching armies. In this world of ash and steel, you are no hero. Whether peasant or noble, monk or mercenary, you live by your wits, your blade, and the choices you carve into bloodstained earth. There is no prophecy, no guiding hand—only the struggle to survive, to find meaning in a country lost to madness. The age of honor is dead. What rises from its corpse is yours to decide.
