The Yaoyorozu-ō Period (: 八百万王時代 Yaoyorozu-ō Jidai, "Age of Myriad Princes") is an era of Shirakawan history between 1412 and 1600 during which central government control over rural areas largely ceased to exist, and provincial Kijin warlords arose to fill the power vacuum. The period was marked by social upheaval, political intrigue and near-constant military conflict.

Kehitic States
''The Toezo came to major prominence as a political force in the 13th to 16th centuries before during the Myriad States Period, when they managed to unite the scattered principalities of the eastern half of the island under their control. They then happened to make a good choice in allying with Takeshima Noriko during the build up to the final Takeshima-Kaishin war (the Kaishin Campaign) and as a result were made Dukes of Toezo (the area from which they got their name) and granted substantial lands at the expense of the Kingdom of Kouchi, a rival Kehito principality forcefully integrated into the new Shirakawan state in the early 1600s.''

Period of Collapse

 * 1321: 銀族 Ginzoku Shogunate established by Ginzoku Takahisa following the White Coup
 * 1412: The 性能 Seinō War erupts in Eito over a Shogunal-Royal dispute over authority.
 * 1415: Truce of Haidōro 灰道路 briefly halts fighting.
 * 1417: Radical elements of the Shogunal forces storm the Royal Palace and burn large parts of it to the ground, scattering much of the Royal family and killing the Grand Queen Taiheiko 太平子. In response, the new Grand Queen Tairyōko 太良子, crowned in the Royal Villa just outside Eito, strips the Shogun of all titles, declares him and his heirs outlaws and appoints her Minister of the Seals (璽大臣 Ji-daijin) Chancellor of the Realm. Fighting in the capital reignited.
 * 1418: The 赤帽 Akabō Rebellion in Saiyu Province cripples Shogunal forces as the Kinkō (金甲) clan, one of their largest backers, is forced to pull forces out of the capital to put down the rebellion.
 * 1419: The attempt to quell the rebellion fails. The two most senior generals of the Kinkō are captured and lynched by the rebel forces. The main stronghold of the clan in Saiyushi is captured, and loyalists are massacred. The Genshi 現士 family (retainers to the Kinkō) defect to the rebels and lead them to victory against the remaining forces of the Kinkō led by the clan head himself after the latter's attempt to take back Saiyushi. Saiyu province splinters as a result, with other retainers scrambling to secure their fiefs.
 * 1422: Rebellion spreads across the north of the Kingdom, sparked by a disastrous harvest and the repressive measures taken by local governors. Meanwhile the brief offensive by the Court faction in the capital is halted by the collapse of their own primary backers, the 風原 Kazahara, caused by the death of their clan head in battle, leading to a scramble for power inspired by fears of popular rebellion and defection as had happened in the north, which itself ends up dividing and destroying the clan, as none of the claimants to the clan's leadership manage to secure their authority and end up fighting each other over power in their heartland.
 * 1425: The Shogun is assassinated by Royal agents as he prepares to retreat from the Capital. His sons and daughters flee to their fiefs and relinquish their claims to the Shogunal title, thus effectively ending the Ginzoku Shogunate. This leads to the clans still fighting for the cause retreating from the capital - some of them turn on eachother in the hopes of assuming leadership over the coalition, while others defect to the Royalist side.
 * 1429: Tairyōko declares victory, but falls ill soon after, dying in November without a clear successor. The Court appoints her aunt Iratsume as regent, but Iratsume claims the royal title itself and appoints her grandson Chancellor, imprisoning the previous incumbent. This triggers another internal power struggle.
 * 1431: The Daigaku-ryō is relocated to the island of 北海島 Hokkaijima (modern day Gakudō) as the governors of northern coastal provinces begin to crack down on possible sources of dissent, including the more liberal-minded academics of the institution. The scholars are granted protection by the 輝目 Terume, a rich merchant family on Hokkaijima.
 * 1433: Sensing an opportunity, Khan Iirji of Uraanuur crosses the Seikaiju mountains, and sacks Eito with a large army. Iratsume and her retinue flee into exile in the south, while the Court establishes the Enokaji Regency in the city of the same name.
