Mori(毛利)
 毛利一族拥有悠久的航海历史,他们是无可争议的海的主人。他们可以比其他势力更容易的在海浪中移动他们的舰队。他们造船技术使得他们的船舶建造和维修的费用十分便宜。他们还可以建造一些比较占优势的船只。
毛利一族作为安芸地区的地头在1221年代发生的承久之乱里崭露头角,尽管他们开始听命于镰仓幕府,但他们渐渐远离自己的领导者,在与足利尊氏联盟时和他一起推翻了旧政权。不久他们陷入了大内家和尼子家之间的争斗,现在只有靠精明的外交结合强大军事实力才能生存下去。
毛利元就,他们的领导者。仍在与尼子家战斗,他们在安芸的领地时常受到北方尼子家的威胁。他们和西边拥有长门和周防两地的大内氏同盟。并与伊予和备后的河野,吉川保持和平。与尼子家的战争也不是没有机会取胜,尽管在尼子家的领地石见地区有贵重的金属资源,其他的宝贵资源还得从河野家和吉川家才能获得,但是只要和大海在一起,靠着毛利的能力和石见地区的财富,一个雄心勃勃的大名能够走多远,也许是走到将军的宫殿里?
The Mori have a long history of seafaring and are sea masters without equal. They can read the waves and move their fleets further than other clans, and their shipbuilding skills make the construction and maintenance of ships cheaper too. They can also build some rather superior vessels as well.
The Mori came to prominence as jito, or stewards, of the Aki province after the Jokyu War in 1221. Despite owing their position to the Kamakura shogunate, they distanced themselves from their sponsors, and were in league with Ashikaga Takauji when he overthrew the old order. They got caught up in the struggles between the Amako and Ouchi clans, and only survived by combining military might with astute diplomacy.
Under Mori Motonari, their daimyo, the clan is still at war with the Amako and, indeed, their home in Aki is threatened by an invasion from the north by the Amako. They are still allied with the Ouchi clan of Suo and Nagati to the west, and have peaceful relations with the Kikkawa and Kono in Bingo and Iyo respectively. The war with the Amako is not without opportunity, though: the Amako’s home province of Iwami has deposits of precious metals. Access to other valuable resources would require the removal of the Kikkawa and Kono. But with the sea-going skills of the Mori and the wealth of Iwami, an ambitious daimyo could go far, perhaps as far as the shogun’s palace?
