Description
As prime minister Cao Cao tightens his grip on the emperor and his people, Liu Bei is approached by many, including the emperor himself, who would like to see Cao Cao's reign ended. Oaths are sworn and pledges are written in blood, but spies are everywhere, and one false move will result in blood being spilled on more than just a page.
Three Kingdoms takes place in a world where the will of the heavens is not made clear to the characters, and this is interpreted to be either apathy ot absence. Some of the characters believe there are no gods, as when Cao Cao taunts Chen Gong by telling him that the heavens are deserted. At the same time, Emperor Xian, who as supreme ruler of the Dynasty is believed to be descended from the heavens, is one of the weakest characters in the story, and Liu Bei, one of the stories central heroes, has taken a blood oath not to uphold the will of the heavens, but to restore to the earthly realm of the Han Dynasty.
