So is a one-province minor daimyo on the isle of Tsushima, situated between Korea and the rest of Japan. Located on the island of Tsushima, the So clan will have the option to become a Pirate Republic after the Wokou incident has happened. These pirates will now be seen terrorizing the coasts of Korea and Japan.

Events[edit]

Return to the Wakou Era

After the Korean invasion of Tsushima in 1419, the So clan signed the Treaty of Gyehae in which trade with Korea was legitimized in return for the cessation of piracy. By controlling Japanese-Korean trade, the So clan enjoyed huge profits and became highly respected in the Shogunate as specialists in Korean diplomacy.

With the Shogunate weakened, some now suggest that the clan should return to the old tradition of piracy. The leader of the upstart pirates claims to be the reincarnation of the legendary pirate Akibatsu Matsura, who led a fleet of 500 ships to raid the Korean coast.

This event happens only once during a campaign.
