The Dawn of War

Can you feel it?
That strange calm,
That feeling of serenity,
The acknowledgment of it all?

It haunts me.

What some don't understand is the fact that I have been playing for a long time. So long in fact, that I have lost sight of our goals as a Shogunate. What I was promised sixteen months ago was pure and simple fun. What I was promised three months later was war, and that’s what I wanted at the time. I didn't want to go to war cause Jared to me to, I wanted it so I had a reason to become stronger. Don't get me wrong, Jared was a great manipulator, and he had some part of it with his war stories and his dreams of grandeur, but most of that blood thirst was all me.

When I became daimyo, I started seeing things in a different perspective. I didn't want war anymore, I wanted a time of peace, where I could do what was first promised to me, and to everyone one else who was once Red Dawn, which was to have fun. That backfired quickly.

Tomorrow is our first real step into war, not the war I was promised, but a more peaceful war; a war in which everyone can shake hands afterwards, and enjoy the fact that we're all playing the same game. This was the war I wanted all along, not out of hatred, but out of sportsmanship.

That is why I'm so excited,
why I can't sleep,
and why we will win...
