_____Many capable men responded to the call to arms against the Yellow Scarf Rebellion. Against such strong and brave heroes, the Scarves were pushed back. When rumours that their leader, Zhang Jue, had died of illness began to spread, the rebels were quickly routed. However, the rebellion was merely a symptom of a greater disease. The Ten Regular Attendants still controlled the court, and with the death of Emperor Ling they controlled the heir to the throne. _____He Jin, who had led the efforts against rebellion so few years prior, wept as he faced the state of the Han Dynasty. His heart heavy and his willpower wavering, the eunuchs lade a trap and had him assassinated. Hearing news of this, two great men under He Jin’s command stormed the palace with their army and slew the eunuchs. However, it was not the noble Yuan Shao to reach the child emperor, but the pompous and corrupt Dong Zhuo. Protected by the fearsome warrior Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo executed the young emperor in favor of his younger brother. _____So began a reign of terror the likes of which had not been seen in centuries. Dong Zhuo raided whole villages, sacking them for their valuables and executed all who spoke against him. With the Mandate of Heaven, Dong Zhuo could use the voice of emperor to influence any vote during the day. In order to rescue the emperor and gain the mandate for their own use, Dong Zhuo would have to be slain. Yuan Shao possessed a powerful army, but his stubborn pride and his unwillingness to listen to his best advisors meant that he stood alone. He needed allies, and many veterans of the rebellion rose to the occasion, if only seeking the emperor’s power for themselves. _____One of these men was Cao Cao, the son of a eunuch. During the rebellion he raised an army to fight it, and afterwards spent his time unifying the northern plains. As such, among his peers he possessed the most land and hired the most capable officers. His son would eventually be declared emperor of the Wei Dynasty, referred to by scholars today as Cao Wei. Cao Cao was not a man of corruption and decadence as Dong Zhuo, but his tactical and political prowess combined with great ambition would one day pose a much greater evil. In his own words, “I would rather let the world down, than have the world let me down”. _____Liu Bei was a peasant, and a distant relative of the emperor. He took an oath of brotherhood with two ruffians, and formed a small militia to fight against the Scarves. Though his forces were small and he was not held in much esteem, he truly wept to see the emperor in such abuse. His loyalty to the Han and his liberal treatment of the people would eventually lead to the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty. Cao Cao once said of Liu Bei, “There are only two heroes in this era, you and I”. _____Sun Quan, a descendant of Sun Tzu himself, was not even an adult during the rebellion. His father Sun Jian fought the Scarves, and after his death his older brother Sun Ce rebuilt the kingdom than the Sun family had once held. This territory would become the foundation of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. Being near so many rivers and the coast, Sun Quan’s army was made up largely of pirates and other brigands. Sun Quan desired to expand the base of power that his family had earned, and he lusted after more land. _____Cao Wei, Shu Han, Eastern Wu, Yuan Shao. Though their motives different and their ultimate goals in conflict, they would have to unite against the threat of Dong Zhuo, if only to gain the Mandate of Heaven. For whoever controls the emperor controls the Middle Kingdom, and all the known world. You'd do well to pay attention to my story posts, as they'll reveal important information. Because it is extremely important, I'll explain the above in greater detail. Cao Wei is the village, Shu Han and Eastern Wu are the mafia. Currently, a neutral named Dong Zhuo possesses the Mandate of Heaven. This allows him to post anonymous lynch targets and he gets additional votes. You can take the Mandate of Heaven from another player by killing them, and the Mandate will transfer to your faction's leader. If the holder of the Mandate is lynched, Cao Wei gains the Mandate. Each faction leader, in addition to a neutral named Yuan Shao, is also that faction's Alliance Maker. The Alliance Maker system allows factions to cooperate anonymously, and if the current Alliance Maker dies the function will be passed on to someone else in their faction.

THe only important people not there were the inspectors and rouge. No veed, you dont count.
