conversations.value: For too long the Clans have floundered without an Emperor to lead them.
  
  Kudai - and to a leeser extent the other barbarians - have barely been harried by Kamijiman forces and have themselves whittled away at the borders, expanding their own purloined lands.

  Now the Konomu face extinction but the other Clans are still wavering, their need to fight increased but their ability lessened with the loss of so many samurai.
  
  Who will be Kudai's next victim, and can they find the support they need to defend their lands?
