A Million Lords Under One (Map Game)

It is AD 1295, midway through the last decade of the 13th century. The foremost powers of the ecumene are lapsing in and out of interregnum, with succession uncertain and the future equally so. Much of Eurasia is still ruled by the four Mongol khanates, still content to sit atop the world and command its sprawling trade routes, but their relations have been strained by infighting and the death of Kublai last year. Though the crusading spirit died with the fall of Acre and Tartus in 1291, as Marco Polo returns from his travels, Europe remains fascinated with the things of the Orient.

While ambitious rulers inherit the opportune slates left by their predecessors, the world hears of new names: Mali, king of the Sahel; Majapahit, lord of Nusantara; Castile, defender of the setting sun; Japan, emperor of the rising sun. From the borders of the Great Yuan to the lands beyond the sea, dynasties are spawning that may soon rival the established powers in wealth and greatness, and carve for themselves a place in the annals of history.

Welcome to A Million Lords Under One, the story of a continent of kings learning new ways to consolidate power; of an undying lineage of khans battling its own decadence; of honor, betrayal, and the struggles of a bygone age reignited by new awesome and terrifying methods of warfare. No matter what happens, the coming era will prove to be one of the the harshest and coldest in written memory, testing the patience and resolve of every human being. The fate of empires hangs in the balance. Will you lead your nation to new heights, or will your name fade into the obscure gulfs of time?
