[Historical Quest] Romance of Three Kingdoms

The story of clan in turbulent times

Chapter 1 by majus majus

The year is 184 AD.

The land is ruled by Han dynasty, which brought stability and peace, starting the Golden Age of the Empire... but after four hundred years, that era has come to an end.

Emperor Ling is influenced by the corrupt Eunuchs, who wield the true power in the court. But their domination caused internal struggle and infighting, that weakened the court considerably... as well as Emperor's grip over the land.

At the same time, the great famine spread through the land. Lack of food, high taxes and harsh landowners were a source of a great pain to the common people.

Driven by their desperation, millions flocked to the teachings of sorcerer Taoist Zhang Jiao. Emperor's inability to deal with corruption and famine was proof in Jiao's eyes, and his followers, that the Emperor lost the Mandate of Haven. Thus he lead people in open rebellion to overthrow the Han dynasty... plunging the country into chaos.

Emperor Ling ordered a suppression of the rebellion. General-in-Chief He Jin, the brother of Empress He, started gathering forces in order to suppress the rebellion and return peace to the torn-war country.

Thus, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has begun...
