Description
Nobility proclaims itself.
This palace increases Minamoto family influence immensely. It also improves tax collection, and converts neighbouring provinces into supporters of the Minamoto cause, if only by overwhelming them with grandeur and might. Additionally, shirabyoshi trained in this province are more experienced, simply because they have such a demanding audience to satisfy at the palace. Historically, the Minamoto were the winners in the Gempei War, although the earlier "disturbances" very nearly wiped out the entire family. After the Taira grew overly mighty by putting a Taira grandson on the throne, many flocked to the opposition lead by the Minamoto and the disinherited Prince Mochihito. The struggle was indeed fierce, but with the final and catastrophic defeat of the Taira at the Battle of Dan-no-ura, the Minamoto instituted a new period of military rule in the Emperor's name: the Kamakura Shogunate. The last Minamoto Shogun was assassinated in 1219, so their triumph was not long lived.
