Character Profiles: Shu

About Shu: Shu ("Shoku" in Japanese), also called Shu-Han, was situated in the mountainous southwest corner of China, a region sometimes called the Riverlands. Its capital was Cheng Du, and it was founded by Liu Bei in 214 A.D. Liu Bei declared himself Emperor in 221 A.D., shortly after Cao Pi forced the Han emperor to abdicate. Liu Bei's son Liu Chan inherited Shu after his father died, but he surrendered his land to Wei in the year 264. In the game, Shu is represented by a dragon and the color green.
