Tagebusa Harbor
 This once-wealthy harbor use to ship food all over Katashima, and its wealthy owners purchased foods from the merchants all across the mainland. It was isolated by Kagen Uesung, where it fell out of favor with the Empire, and later abandoned altogether by its inhabitants. However, Kenjin Uesung and his samurai have liberated the area and the port now accepts any and all maritime travelers.

"It wasn't half this hard getting to Isra." His boat was laden with scrolls, research notes, and plant, seed, and soil samples. His attendants were exhausted and sea sick. Most of them were not used to traveling. Luckily they were just minutes away from settling on the closest dock.
"Elder Raynor," a young warrior walked up to him nervously. "Are you sure this is a good idea? I've heard rumors that Katashima is divided. Their people are not one like us. All our clans are like friends, family. How can we ally with a divided land?!"
"We were not always united. We too had our struggles and difficulties, as has the Phoenix State. I'm sure with time and patience peace will come to Katashima someday. Besides, I've heard good things about this particular clan."
The warrior folded his arms. "The Phoenix State... I wouldn't use them as a frame of reference. You know how many of us feel about them." He scowled.
Raynor looked towards the harbor, worried. "Yes, I know. This alliance has nothing to do with them. I wouldn't even bother mentioning them."

"It seems the Land Tillers have arrived." A woman, who spoke in a soothing grace that also echoed promiscuity, stood upon the docks, her hands clasped in front of her slender stomach. She was surrounded by some unarmored samurai who wielded naught but a single katana and a wakizashi; they were here only as escort, nothing more. She was draped in white and purple clothes, dressed like a fighter, but standing like a lady. There was some wonder to her character; was she really so innocent and sweet like she projected, or did she hide a fiery temptation within her?
The Uesung peasants: migrants from other regions in Katashima, eagerly came to help pull Raynor's ship to the dock. They were expecting him to arrive, and upon noticing it was a foreign ship, they knew it could only be one person.
As if made of air, or like a leaf floating down a smooth river, Kitsu walked to where Raynor and his people would exit the ship. She bowed before them, courtly and gracefully. "You've finally arrived," she said innocently and kindly. "My name is Kitsu, and I work in the service of Daimyo Kenjin Uesung. Please, do tell us of your trip."

The older man's garb was dull by comparison, mostly brown furs and leather with crude metal plates underneath. However, his face was genial, and his gait was confident. He wasn't particularly tall, but his muscles seemed to fill out his clothing. He looked very much the part of a guardian, which was one of the responsibilities of a clan elder. His people would look to him like a father rather than a leader.
Raynor beckoned to his attendants to start unloading the equipment. There was one particular item that they might have trouble with, a large wildebeest with brown stripes named Sasha. She was somewhat temperamental, though trained to keep her temper in check. Raynor was the only human she really liked. The creature would groan angrily as the peasants and crew tried to convince it to move. The Land-Tillers knew well enough to at least try baiting her with food.
As for Raynor, she looked at the young woman endearingly. "Let's just say we're glad to be on land. We don't sail very often, even by mainland standards." He bowed his head slightly. He decided not to beckon for a hand-shake since the head bow was a more universally accepted greeting. "There was a terrible amount of mist on the open ocean as well, and a few of my people became sea sick. Katashima may as well be heaven right now!"
Raynor's eyes went up and down the girl's armor. She looked like a fighter. He liked women fighters and perhaps it was obvious in his smile. "Forgive me for saying so, but you look very much like my daughter. It's good to see Katashima respects its women by allowing them to train in combat. My wife is an unbridled archer, my daughter a formidable spellcaster."

"Please, let us speak at my estate," Kitsu said to the man, and proceeded to lead him to her estate. |
