Emperor AnzaiReport

English:Emperor Anzai · Characters

The previous leader of the United Cities, the emperor before Tengu. He died in the fighting of the Red Rebellion; his death and the rebellion itself are believed to have been orchestrated chiefly by Longen of the Traders Guild, with possible help from the Nobles. The game barely mentions him — the main document of his existence is an unsigned letter titled "Puppet".

Emperor Anzai was the previous leader of the United Cities — the emperor before Tengu. He met his end in the fighting of the Red Rebellion.

The wiki is unusually direct about the blame: his death and the Red Rebellion are believed to have been orchestrated chiefly by Longen, the leader of the Traders Guild, with possible conspiring aid by the Nobles.

The game itself says almost nothing about the man. The main document of his existence is an unsigned letter titled Puppet, in which the writer complains that the new emperor is nothing next to Anzai and concludes that the only reason the nobles would crown a buffoon is that a buffoon is easy to control. The player, in other words, comes to know Anzai not through anything he did, but through someone using him as a measuring stick for his successor.
