Ante Bellum: Devaraja
When the Red Turban rebellion had subsided in China, it left the two Yuan commanderies in Southeast Asia paralyzed and uncertain about their future, cut off from their benefactor in Beijing. The ancient empires of Khmer and Champa continue to feud with each other now that the Mongol threat has receded, and countless princes along Southeast Asia’s great rivers clash for supremacy over Burma and Indochina. The Kings of Myinsaing currently hold sway over the Irrawaddy, though many of their subjects are only nominal, while Laos and Siam are divided between bickering princes. To any observer, the future of Southeast Asia seems rather uncertain, as new and old powers have emerged on this ancient stage to enact a very similar dance to the eras before this one. But whoever does come out on top, they will most surely be able to claim the title of Devaraja.
Devaraja is a submod for Parmelion’s Ante Bellum mod, an Alternative History overhaul for Europa Universalis IV. This mod focuses on the regions of Burma and Indochina, and currently features playable content for Champa, Khmer, Zhengmian, Jiaozhi, and a handful of minor princes in Thailand and Lower Burma.
