Opium War

The Opium War in 1122 started when the three major opium cartels in Ryoko Owari, the City of Lies, turned on each other after manipulation by outside forces. For several weeks entire rows of warehouses are burned down and many deaths are reported under mysterious circumstances. The violence continued until the Emerald Magistrates of the city hunted down the responsible parties and brought the war to an abrupt end.
