Description:

After the fall of the Kamakura Shogunate and the restoration of Imperial rule in Japan under Emperor Go-Daigo. Ashikaga Takauji, a former ally of Go-Daigo would soon support his second-born son Prince Yutahito (Emperor Kyomo), which would split the country into the Nanboku-Cho Period.
