jan 1, 274 BC - last battle between Shou Lung and Wa

Description:

In the last battle between Shou Lung and Wa, the Shou land forces overwhelm those of Wa, but their fleet is grounded on reefs concealed by wu jen working for the Wa warlords.

-[Shou] Death of the sixth Emperor Chin and his court in the battle of Wa. While the land forces overrun the Wa forces, the emperor's fleet runs aground on reefs hidden by the dweomercraft of the opposing lords' wu jen. The ship's pilot, a man named Rourke, recovers the emblems of Imperial Authority, but is slain upon return to the Imperial City. The Emblems disappear and Black Cycle of Years begins.
-[Wa] The wu jen Kira and a confederation of sorcerers cunningly prepare a trap for the King of the Western Lands Chin, who is aboard his royal flagship. Through their spells they conceal a dangerous reef from all aboard. Driven forward by a summoned storm, the flagship breaks up on the rocks. Before the Emperor Chin's wu jen can whisk him away to safety, the ninja Fukio, in disguise and aboard the ship for two years, strikes. The Emperor Chin is slain. Almost immediately the most powerful Shou Lung generals leave Wa to battle for the Shou Lung throne. The Shou Lung forces are plunged into leaderless confusion. Fukio disappears in the shipwreck. Some claim he is dead, while others say Kira rewarded him with prolonged life and great powers for his services.
