TETSUGAWA 鉄川 CALLS

TO THE OYASHI OF ALMARIS,

 

By the grace of KAMISAMA, the honorable clans of Dodaitose and Kato have secured for our peoples fertile land to call home once again. The lessons of ruin brought by the Li Ren Tyrants of Yopinawa have been learnt, and it is the prime prerogative of Daimyō to prevent such an embarrassment from ever befalling our peoples again.

 

In consideration of this, the Southern Bank of the River Guren has been settled and dubbed TETSUGAWA, or Iron River. Within these lands, our people have been afforded the right to erect a cultural domain whereby Oyashi customs shall take the forefront. Though nestled within the bosom of Aaun, the Tetsugawa Cultural Domain shall not be subject to gaijin rowdiness. 

 

It would bring great shame upon Oyashima to besmirch one’s benefactors or to abandon one’s allies in a time of conflict. The Samurai of Tetsugawa shall pledge their blades in the repelling of invaders or would-be upstarts who would seek to spread the curse of Ibleesian ambition into our lands.

 

To those Oyashi who would come with the noble desire of reunification, they shall be treated as family. They shall be granted immediate citizenship, a free home and the possibility of discovering kinship with one of the pre-existing clans. Further, those who seek to become SAMURAI may undertake the Budō trials; those who succeed may be considered for the rank. At current, any who come shall be subject to only six concrete laws.

 

1. GAJIN MAY NOT OWN PROPERTY.

2. LI REN AND HOU-ZI ARE FORBIDDEN.

3. YOKAI OR EVIL SPIRITS ARE TO BE SLAIN.

4. ONLY SAMURAI AND KNIGHTS MAY WIELD SWORDS.

5. SAMURAI SHALL ACT AS JUDGE, JURY AND EXECUTIONER

6. ALL SHALL RESPECT THE HIGHER CLASSES AND THOSE OF SUPERIOR RANK.

 

 

To locate Tetsugawa, one need only follow the Tori Gate Path which wraps about the Field of Swords Monument. Currently, Tetsugawa is in need of a Tavernkeep, A Smith, Merchants, Fishermen and any other skilled profession.

 

 

Come Home Oyashi.

Gamagoro remains hidden within his basement, enjoying a cup of tea. He awaits for the return of his other kin!

Oijin makes the serene face, feeling truly home at last.

Jin looks up towards the great turtle palace, "hyooo, maybe Jin understand what… soul is." Allowing the great moon to wash his face as he meditated.

In a completely unrelated matter, a marked man damned for his crimes against Creation screamed in the bowels of many hells.

The Black Swordsman of the West prepares to journey east towards Tetsugawa...

[AnimeWolf0080 1509]

Somewhere off the east someone in the woods would happen upon the letter. "You've gotta be kidding me" he muttered with a sighed as he crouched near the base of a tree before looking into the night sky. Not wanting to put anymore energy into it he tore up the missive and set off to make a fire. He'd bury the dead in the morning.

After wandering aimlessly through the Haeseni marshes for what felt like a milennia and a half — Genzō of the Goro clan had long lost the Oyashiman ship that docked there.. when.. How long ago was it now? No matter. He felt a strange calling, like a calling bell rang through the lands, one that he recognized, the very same shouting rumble followed, and, it was at that moment that he knew there was a new home.

Somehow, still in his prime, the retainer began to wander now, this time with purpose in his step, still donned in his blood red plates and Uchigatana strapped tightly to his waist.

[Sarven 2619]

Yvian grinned brightly as he read the missive "Das ist gut that mein kameraden have found ein place to call hearth."

[Mescaffier 6197]

A lone Hou-zi looks at the flier with a bit of glee, before reading the 'No Hou-zi' bit. "Aaagh . . ."
