== Trivia ==
* Sejong's leader ability is named after the alphabet he created, while his agenda is named the philosophical school of thought that spread through Asia from the 13th century onwards, a more rationalistic and humanistic revision of Confucianism.
* The book that Sejong carries is Hunminjeongeum Eonhaebon. However, he holds it upside down, and given that it was published after his passing, this is somewhat ahistorical.
* Historically, Sejong was privately Buddhist,https://www.britannica.com/biography/Sejong-Korean-ruler but his preferred religion is Confucianism in-game. This likely reflects the prevailing views of Koreans during Sejong's rule and his efforts to promote Confucian ideals.
