Zanshin, the Dark Warlord has risen and unleashed his soldiers against the people of the land. In a single night of carnage all of your fellow daimyō, their retainers, their families, their entire houses, have all been slaughtered. But he has gravely errored, for he has left you and your retainers alive.

Steel yourselves, gather your most trustworthy companions, and set forth into the night to stop evil. Only you remain to defeat Zanshin and save the land of Yamato.
