 * The second Emperor Chin of the Kao Dynasty of Shou Lung is crowned and decrees the Spreading of Knowledge, also called the Opening of Wa. This demands that the people of Wa be pacified and instilled with Shou customs. Wa's war-torn and fractious daimyos acquiesce.
 * The Shou invasion of Wa is secretly aided by the Order of the Snake, but some members refuse and split off to form the Order of the Mouse. However, they are few and unable to garner support. The Order of the Mouse retreat into the wilderness, and focuses on covertly working against the Order of the Snake.
