Sado



Sado Mansion is a Neutral Fort located on an island to the East / North East of the Uesugi Clan.

Overview
When entered initially, you are given an option of assaulting the mansion or leaving it alone. Assaulting the mansion will trigger a "siege" similar to attacking a bandit camp, with most of the enemies being Sado exiles. Once the exiles are defeated, you are given an option of razing the mansion or taking it over.

Sado as a player property allows for the weekly recruitment of Sado Exiles or production of Dried Fish. It also allows you to recruit Momo, the daughter of the mansion attendant, provided you ask for his permission.

Trivia
When direct control from mainland Japan started around the 8th century, the island's remoteness meant that it soon became a place of banishment for difficult or inconvenient Japanese figures. Exile to remote locations such as Sado was a very serious punishment, second only to the death penalty, and people were not expected to return.

The earliest known dissident to be condemned to exile on Sadogashima was a poet, Hozumi no Asomi Oyu (穂積朝臣老). He was sent to the island in 722, reportedly for having criticized the emperor. The last banishment in Sado took place in 1700, almost a millennium after the first.
