Description
When King Sam Saen Thai died in 1417, Lan Xang was a power to be reckoned with. His successors, however, were young, inexperienced and mediocre. Around 1427, the eldest daughter of the King Sam Saen Thai, Keava Kumari, started the intrigues behind the throne. Within a short period of 10 years, 8 Kings has risen to the throne, only to be promptly killed on the orders of their aunt (or sister). When she finally mounted the throne herself in 1438, her reign only lasted a few months, as she was deposed on the orders of Council of Ministers, and then tortured to death together with her husband, the Prime-Minister (who was incidentally her grandnephew). During this time span, confusion and instability has reigned in the country.Actions

Action A of 199000 - Inheritance by Lan Xang for Lan NaDescription
The last King of Chiangmai died childless in 1543, and Phothisarat, whose mother was a Chiangmai princess, promptly claimed the empty throne. So did Siam and a Shan prince named Mekut'i. Laos won the first round, and Phothisarat placed his son, prince Setthathirat, on the Chiangmai throne. However, the Laotian King died only thirteen months later, and Setthathirat had to hurry to Luang Prabang to claim his father's throne before somebody else did. That gave Siam and the Shans a second chance. All three Kingdoms were fighting over Chiangmai when a revitalized Burma appeared on the scene.Actions
