Shogunate

The military dictatorship set up by the Dragon-Blooded in the wake of the Usurpation, which crumbled away in the face of the Great Contagion. The Shogunate was marked by endemic warfare between Dragon-Blooded daimyos and the catastrophic loss of First Age magic. Many Terrestrial Exalted savants lionize this period as an age of heroes and a flowering of Dragon-Blooded culture.
