Agenda Item: Onin War

What happens when monks become feudal lords and son-in-laws become hands to the rulers? Swords get unsheathed, every head starts to have its own voice, people divide, sides establish, chants that will lead to inevitable death begin to be heard from far away. That was exactly the matter in mediaeval Japan near 1467. The clans tried to overpower other clans, families turned to each other for succession, and Kyoto watched its fate towards the imminent war. Will the succession dispute along with the showdown between clans become resolved, or will the Ashikaga Shogunate perish into the unforgiving pages of history because of the wrath of men?
