Following the battle of Ixlaca in 1488 the two factions in Alyska which had been at oneanothers throats since the breakdown of the Ashikaga shogun in the early part of the century had begun to fall apart. With both sides turning against one another as the defeated cities blamed one another for their defeat, while the victors fought over the spoils of their victory.
This period initially saw the last few remaining smaller states absorbed into larger polities. With five major states emerging to dominance by the beginning of the sixteenth century. These being Uniyoshima, Nexo, Aria, Naaro, and Singoshu (see map for locations) in descending order of power. For some time it seemed that these states would continue to conglomerate into even larger states through a mixture of combat and alliance. However it was not to be.
A tense peace would descend on Alyska as fighting died off in the 1490s as the different states were forced to halt their fighting to lick their wounds and recoup the massive losses they had taken in Ixlaca. The temporary peace was not expected to last by any side.
