"Aiyah..." Shugo Kato keeps his redstone star of Malchediel forehead tattoo hidden under his bandana and mempo, only daring to reveal it to catch do'badders in holy genjitsus.

"War on all sides," Shugo Kato spoke to himself as he looked to the sun scattered through the sakura blossoms above the village. He felt used to the 🔥.

A military governor from the south west of Braevos had just finished the celebration of his stork day when the word to rally was given to him. Bedridden and having been sake'd up the night before, he rolls out of his tatami mat and stuck his head out of the window of the Kato compound to feel the morning rays upon his face.
"Yare yare...where is War Captain Takemura? We need to wake the red kami up to give us back our crap,"

ON THE MOBILIZATION OF KOYO-KUNI
On the Reasons for Arms against the Yosei of the Ravenswood
Issued from the Flower Capital of Sakura-Gakure
Year of the Kouryuu (Dragaar), 174 SA (1168 Kamijikan)
“The vibrations of the Past ripple into the Present. The vibrations of the Present shall ripple into the Future. No being is liberated from the dependence of another. Such is the nature of Causality, and of Time,” KANI 霊 .47 of THE KANINOKYŌ 霊の経.
Makoto 誠 and Meiyo 名誉, HONESTY and HONOR are two virtues held in high regard amongst the samurai for they are integral to the value of our character. Who are we if we cannot meet the obligations expected of us? It was upon the 1174th day of the Kamijikan that the Treaty of Kretzen was signed that made official the long standing friendship of the Reinmaren Waldenian and the Oyashi of the Rising Sun since the days we had settled amongst them in the then-Duchy of Minitz and a 500 year long historical friendship with roots back to the first Waldenic Konigreich of Aesterwald. It is upon our honor that we answer the call of our battle brothers in the Principality of Reinmar to expel the do’badders that lurk amidst the Ravenswood and to campaign together.
It is an edited list of demands our signature finds itself on, for the original demands of Sakura-Gakure had been met two months after the agreement to campaign together. After agents of Ravenswood had brought word back of Koyo-Kuni’s intentions to collect owed taxes by force in its participation of the campaign, a diplomat was sent bearing a third of the demanded payment - a demanded payment not accounting for a prior wiping of debt at the mercy of the last Primarch Jenny’s will for which Ravenswood was late in but remains unobligated to pay. While the full demanded debt was inevitably paid during the diplomat’s visit and resolved the personal dispute between Sakura-Gakure and Ravenswood, it has not changed the view of Sakura-Gakure upon the Ravenswood - a rump government with an inability to speak with honesty or meet minimal obligations, a former vassal with no respect for the sanctity of the Sakura Forests which their lands for years remained colloquially speaking ‘griefed’ and an eyesore to our West and a former, distant neighbor who has never broke chopsticks with us. To this day your sovereign has never met with us and is as avoidant as a bat to the light. Putting it bluntly, we would rather aid our true allies than parlay for peace on behalf of one who shared a state with us on bad terms and left with a standing debt going on multiple years and only paid under threat of conflict. We have no respect for you. By comparison, the Moonlit Sanctuary of Eittitica had spoken to us with honesty about the vision they themselves held for the Neko-jin and after the payment of remaining debts we parted ways with mutual respect even if we hold no official relations yet with their diaspora.
It is because our brothers in Reinmar and friends in Celia’nor sought to support our demands that the Koyo-Kuni Shugonate shall honor and support the demands of theirs upon the Ravenswood. The Koyo-Kuni Shugonate henceforth declares a PARTIAL MOBILIZATION of the Flower-Capital Sakura-Gakure and Mugmar’s Circle in preparation for a possible campaign north alongside the Reinmarens and Celians should their demands not be met. It shall remain optional for the remaining Shōya and their citizens to participate in this campaign but we encourage those in search of the pursuit of glory, justice and honor to rally under the banner of the Shugo. All Men of Hazum and able-bodied Oyashimans of the Hidden Cherry Blossom Village are to acquire armaments from the Stratocracy should they be lacking. All Shōya are to remain on standby for the defense of the state. The Shugonate will at this point make no more personal demands from the Ravenswood aside from the enforcement of its co-belligerents’ demands.

THE KOYO-KUNI SHUGONATEThe Land of the Scattered Sun
Issued from the Flower Capital of Sakura-Gakure
Year of the Neko-Jin, 173 SA (1174 Kamijikan)
PREAMBLE
For over forty years the Oyashi have safeguarded and cultivated the lands of the Sakura-Mori in hopes of establishing a successful exclave outside of Oyashima. With the inheritance of sovereignty and the expansion of the realm, the Shugo has seen fit to establish the Land of the Scattered Sun or the Koyo-Kuni Shugonate. It is the hopes of this new nation’s stratocracy to establish a home for all of the Ai-Zho diaspora and Farfolk be they Oyashiman, Li-ren, Hyeol-yeon, Hou-zi, cultural converts or one of the many tribes of the southeast lands of Aeldin. The regime’s goals will also include the full incorporation of the Sakura-Mori, the sharing of Ai-Zho culture across Braevos, the thwarting of all threats to our borders and sovereignty and providing a home with community for all descendants of Ai-Zho.
From henceforth, all sovereign responsibilities are to be left with the Shugo of Koyo-Kuni from the seat of Sakura-Gakure. This document shall serve the nation and government’s constitution bearing the foundational law, rights and order of the Shugonate.
On the Inheritance of Agreements and Pacts of the Previous Regime
In order to help facilitate the transition of the Shugonate, Koyo-Kuni shall inherit and fulfill the following agreements for their agreed upon duration. Any other agreements are subject to discussion with the Shugonate.
- The Treaty of Sakuragakure, 154 SA
- The Treaty of Mugmar’s Circle, 163 SA
- The Treaty of Mul’naar, 164 SA
- The Treaty of Nor-Velyth, 166 SA
- The ATF, 168 SA
- The Treaty of Orcgrimmar, 169 SA
On the Position of Shugo
The Shugo is the sovereign, protector and acting head of the stratocracy of Koyo-Kuni to be referred to as the Shugonate. The Shugo reserves ultimate authority to inquisition throughout and maintain the state, to form a council to assist in the functions of the state, to enforce taxes and state law, to rally the defense of the state, to decide who resides within the state and represents the state before foreign dignitaries. Each Shugo is expected to select an heir apparent to inherit but should one not be selected or should the decision be challenged, it will be the duty of the samurai to select a Shugo by either trial of combat or vote.
On the Samurai
The Samurai including the Onna-Musha are members of the stratocracy and will henceforth act as agents of the Shugo throughout the state to collect debts and enforce the Shugo’s law and will. All samurai are expected to respect the rights of the Shōya and citizens of Koyo-Kuni. Samurai are to be designated certain areas of operation within the state to act as representatives of the state government. Samurai will be selected after receiving sponsorship from a clan of Sakuragakure, completing training under another samurai and being voted in by the Shugo and the warrior class of Sakuragakure.
On the Clans of Sakuragakure
The Clans of Sakuragakure serve as the economic backbone of the capital, the sponsors of samurai within the Shugonate and whose heads shall equate to Shōya but be referred to as the Buke-no-Toryo or Heads of Families. They will be exempt of Sankin-kōtai (or alternate attendance) for they already live in the capital. The Buke-no-Toryo may have the privilege to sit in on samurai councils without necessarily being a member of the warrior class and on councils hosted by the Koe of the Shōya.
On the Government of Koyo-Kuni
The Government of Koyo-Kuni, or the Council of the Shugo, are the selected state officials tasked with carrying out the functions of the government which shall be based in the Hidden Cherry Blossom Village (Sakura-Gakure).
The Shugodai
Also known as the Deputy Protector of Koyo-Kuni, the Shugodai is the second in command and enforcer of the Shugo’s will. They are the heir apparent to the Shugonate and generally meet with dignitaries as the acting right hand of the Shugo. They may sign treaties and agreements on behalf of the government.
The Samurai Council
As members of the stratocracy, each samurai and onna-musha is allowed the acting rank of commander amidst the Ashigaru and may act in an advisory position to the Shugo on the direction of the state. It is the samurai’s task to vote in a Shugo in times of need of one from amongst their ranks.
The Jūshoku of Nichi-Jin Temple
The Jūshoku is the spiritual advisor and representative of the Kaninokyō and Sohei of the state’s Nichi-Jin Temple. His advisory position is intended to balance and advise the Shugonate on morality and balance the warrior spirit of the state.
The Koe of the Shōya
A selected Shōya tasked with organizing the Council of Shōya at the discretion of the village headmen to discuss concerns of the village headmen and make pleas to the Shugonate in consultation.
The Onmyoji of Koyo-Kuni
Also known as the Court Wizard, the onmyoji is tasked with studying the supernatural and arcane on behalf of the government and offering advice on how to handle magical anomalies or judge magic. They may create and propose laws to the Shugo for him to enforce in regards to magic.
On the Shōya of Koyo-Kuni
The Shōya of Koyo-Kuni are the village headmen and 'vassal lords' who shall make up the Council of Shōya will be expected to meet certain obligations of the Shugo and State, but will be guaranteed certain rights so long as said obligations are met. All land is considered under the official ownership of the Shugonate with Shōya acting as landlords on behalf of the government.
-
Obligations of the Shōya of Koyo-Kuni
- Shōya will swear fealty to the Shugo of Koyo-Kuni, swearing their bannermen to the defense of the state and when called upon for campaign and swearing loyalty to the Shugonate.
- Shōya are expected to act with honor, courage and virtue.
- Shōya are expected to maintain their settlements to appealable standards. Haphazard construction colloquially called grief will not be tolerated and all settlements are requested to complement the land they inhabit.
- Shōya, while not expected to maintain a standing military force, will be expected to conscript and rally citizenry in times of defense when the state faces a threat to its borders or sovereignty.
- Shōya are required to pay the allotted tax prescribed to them by the Shugonate each year on time.
- Shōya are expected to surrender all foreign diplomacy matters to the Shugo except on matters of trade not in violation of Shugonate’s embargos. To violate such an expectation will constitute treason within the eyes of the state.
- Shōya will be expected to spend one month every two years (1 OOC day every two weeks) in the Shugo’s court on an agreed upon time alongside an appropriate envoy of family and guards to bond, break bread and handle business with the Shugo and samurai in adherence to the policy of Sankin-kōtai (alternate attendance). Heirs to the Shōya shall ward under a designated samurai beginning no earlier than ten years of age for a total of no less than seven years.
-
The Rights of the Shōya of Koyo-Kuni
- Shōya will have all of the inherent rights of the citizens of the state.
- Shōya may dictate the law, tax and order within their respective settlements they govern so long as the law does not contradict Koyo-Kuni’s law without the expressed permission of the Shugo.
- Shōya are allowed to maintain and raise their own standing warband should they wish. All warbands will be expected to answer to the defense of the state and the Shugo in times of war.
- Shōya and their villages are guaranteed the protection of the state against foreign threats and internal dissidents.
- Shōya have the right to request a government enforced honor duel should they be wronged by a citizen of the state and/or a fellow Shōya.
- Shōya may take on a title of their choice that pays homage to their culture. However all will come after the Shugo in terms of authority.
- The Shōya of Koyo-Kuni will have the right to form a council to act in advice to the Shugo under the authority of the selected Koe of the Shōya.
On Previous Vassals of the Ashen State
While the intended purpose of the Shugonate is the proliferation of the people of Ai-Zho, exceptions have been made to the remaining vassals of the old Ashen State of Nor-Velyth who may be allowed to remain and settle as equal Shōya to their counterparts in honor of the defunct Co-Propersperty Pact Beneath the Cherry Blossoms. The same state laws, obligations and rights shall be applied onto them and their citizenry.
On Religion
The Shugonate shall adopt the KANINOKYŌ as the official state religion of Koyo-Kuni with the temple monks of Nichi-Jin acting as an auxiliary force of the Shugo’s warband. The disciplines of the Yasu-Tori shall act advisory to the moral compass of the state in its execution of the law but its religious tenants themselves shall not be enforced upon citizens of the state in respect to the freedom of religion entitled to them.
It is willed that no religious organization shall hold authority to execute state law, order and punishment without the Shugo’s expressed permission in helping enforce the Shugonate’s law.
On State Law
The basic premise of the state law is to set a concise and simple authority for the state, its citizens and foreigners to operate within when on state property not governed directly by the Shugo’s Sakuragakure Law or by Shōya or superseding the judgment of the Shōya.
- To respect the Shugo and their agents of authority who shall act as the interpreters, judges and executioners of the Shugonate’s will. No law from a Shōya will restrain a samurai from enforcing the will of the state.
- All swords except those wielded by the Samurai class or recognized knights or Shōya must be bound and left sheathed when entering the capital of Sakuragakure. A sword is defined as a blade that is more than eleven inches in length.
- All Yokai, occult practices and dark sorceries will be considered banned and subject to rehabilitation and/or execution should rehabilitation be undesired by the state and seen as futile.
- Attempted treason meaning to subvert the Shugonate or secondarily ones of its vassals is banned and subject to execution.
- The Shugonate shall act on the Non-Aggression Principle. Should a citizen feel their space, property belongings or well being has been violated they will have the authority to defend themselves by any means necessary not in violation of the law. All investigations are to be conducted by representatives of the Shugo.
- All citizens are required to bear weapons in case of emergency to defend one’s self or to defend the state and its citizens and will be subject to a fine no greater than 50 mon (mina) from the samurai.
- Bringing ruin to the Sakura-Mori or harvesting the Shugo’s faerie truffles without his expressed written permission will be subject to execution.
On the Rights of Citizens
Citizens in good standing with the state will be afforded basic rights to guarantee their fair protection under the law. Good standing will be interpreted as not in hostilities or flagrant violation of the law. A citizen will constitute as one who is recognized by either the Shugo or a Shōya as being a legal dweller of the Shugonate.
- Citizens have the right to be alive and will not be executed unjustly by the law.
- Citizens have the right to self defense and may use any means necessary not in violation of State or relevant Local Law to defend their property, their lives or their well being.
- Citizens have the right to bear arms for self defense within the Shugonate. This right may be interpreted differently in terms of what will constitute legal arms by the individual settlements of the state.
- All Citizens may be free to move within and out of the state and not be subject to any form of servitude except conscription in times of defending the state and its people. Solely men and women 18 years of age or older and not in an elderly, debilitating or disabled state will be subject to conscription. Conscription shall not be enforced by the state in times of campaign.
- All Citizens will have the right to pursue the freedom of religion and worship in respect to the Shugonate’s laws.
- All Citizens of Koyo-Kuni will be guaranteed the right to a trial with their choice of legal representation should they be able to arrive in a timely manner. Should one’s choice be unable to attend the trial, the citizen will be entitled to defend themselves or accept representation on behalf of the state.
- All citizens have the right to self-termination whether it be out of mercy, self-shame or if unable to meet the justice of the Shugo.
On Embargo
It is in the interest of the government to protect the intellectual property of its citizens and shall ban the foreign trade of the following goods. Violation of the embargo may result in but is not limited to the confiscation of goods, requested fines or execution at the discretion of the samurai.

Victory on the Western Front - The Second Battle of Wall Masako
in The Koyo-Kuni Shugonate

VICTORY ON THE WESTERN FRONT
The Second Battle of Wall Masako
Issued from the Flower Capital of Sakura-Gakure
Year of the Kaerumon (Frog-man / Wonk), 176 SA (1153 Kamijikan)
“The Untouchable, twisted and uncaring, perpetuates Kani that is overwhelmingly dim. Dead already, He is an embodiment of Sin - He is as the Void. Banishment can be the only recourse, lest the World break its tune.”
HYPER-WAR 聖戦 .82 of THE KANINOKYŌ 霊の経.
On the 1156th day of the Kamijikan it was reported that the volunteer brigade under the command of Mayor and Ashigaru captain HONMA MONJARO and the Thegn of Solgaard Conan rallied within the walls of the Flower Capital before launching an overwhelming assault upon the recently lost Wall Masako. It has been noted by the officer corps that foreign support was numerous and left the chain of command ill-prepared to coordinate and divy limited supplies.
While a duel was intended between Mayor Honma and the commander of Gashadokuro’s forces, miscommunication led to an all out melee brawl amongst both factions and left a handful of the volunteer brigade injured including Mayor Honma. Despite this setback, the forces of the Volunteer Brigade found success with Mayor Honma striking down the opposing commander and routing enemy forces.
The stratocracy extends our gratitude to our brother Honma Monjaro and ally Thegn Conan in the recapture of Wall Masako and our gratitude is also extended to the Honma Survey Corps, the Men of Solgaard, the Rex of Orcgrimmar, the Druids of Nevaehlen and the Ritters of Reinmar. Mayor Honma will be allowed respite and leave from the front for the time being during the refortification of Wall Masako while he recovers from his sustained injuries.
We offer a warning however that disobeying the chain of command that could lead to severe injury of officers, ashigaru or other volunteers will be considered betrayal and may warrant expulsion from the volunteer brigade and/or execution.
