  • <- (Received in Scorpion lands): Warning to avoid large gatherings and people in sakura clothes, arrived one day too late.

• Auntie & Uncle
  • -> (Unreplied, Posted in Kaeru Toshi) General update, notification that she won at Rainbow Games and was assigned as a yoriki, formal.
  • -> (Unreplied, Posted Somewhere After Changing) Notification of the physical changes she underwent and general update, request to gather or buy up any of the boxes they can find
  • <- (Received in Scorpion lands) Unhelpful generic praise with backhanded insults to breeding, warning not to run off with some foreign girl.

Kitsu Kōhī

• Family
  • -> (replied, Posted in Kaeru Toshi) General update for family, request for alchemical supplies. It also says that Magistrate-sama's business might bring them near hometown "soon".
  • <- (received in Scorpion Lands) Don't fuck this up or sepeku for all. Also Golden Tongued Omar in Bugaisha can do alchemical supplies
  • -> (unreplied, posted in scorpion lands) Kitsuki Umi, Magistrate-sama, is really looking forward to meeting you all. Jade Magistrate Business takes us all over. No good timeline. Will try to give a heads up.

  • <- (received in scorpion lands) Got a caravan between Bugaisha and Shiro Shiba. Has herbs and alchamical supplies
  • -> (Unreplied, posted in Scorpion Lands) Dropping Golden Tongued Omars and Kōhī's "Sensi's" name. She might get better deals with that info. Who knows?

• Bayushi Dokusuru
  • -> (Unreplied, posted in Scorpion Lands) We are leaving because it's a good idea. I am writing because it's a bad idea. I am still willing to talk shop. I have interesting ideas on mushrooms if you are interested.

Kitsuki Umi

• Kitsuki Bunkei
  • -> (No Reply Needed, Posted from Golden Sun Plains): Notification have been appointed Jade Magistrate, will be away some time.

• Mirumoto Azuma
  • -> (Unreplied, Posted from Golden Sun Plains): Won at Rainbow Games, have been appointed Jade Magistrate, will be away some time. Write about how family is doing when you have a chance.

• Head Servant
  • -> (Posted from Golden Sun Plains): Instructions for household manager, confirm position if they want it, will be away some time since have been appointed Jade Magistrate, please forward any additional information about murder of former head servant & post-hoc approval of funeral arrangements and payment thereof, arrange to have knick-knacks sent to me.
  • <- [A letter from Umi's servants back at her estate in Dragon lands is largely an acknowledgment of orders, acceptance of the household manager position, and notice that they will be sending a package to Medinaat al Salaam to meet her, containing the more interesting of the old master's knicknacks.]

• Kitsu Makoto
  • -> (Posted in Kaeru Toshi): Report on discoveries so far including portal, boar spirits, lost Lion samurai, and possible threat from Yume-do. Update on next steps, in Kaeru Toshi to contact a Kitsu seen in a vision, plan to proceed to Nezumi lands.
  • -> (Unreplied, Posted in Shiro Kaiu): Report on further information discovered, attack on shrine in Scorpion lands, situation with Maemikake, working on acquiring keystones.
  • <- [The message, from Kitsu Makoto's own hand, says that your results so far are promising, and he has notified a number of jade magistrates to be on the lookout for the cubes, and if found, to keep them concealed. It is suggested that you check in with any jade magistrates you happen to come across, and provides a recognition code that will tell them to surrender any cubes to you. He has also dispatched a magistrate team to Lion lands to investigate the matter of this mysterous shrine.]

• Tsume Yokatsu
  • -> (Posted in Kaeru Toshi): Update on current status, made a magistrate, request to notify me if he encounters any portals or Yume-do phenomena, heading for Nezumi lands, anything I can do for you.
  • -> (Posted in Shiro Kaiu): In Shiro Kaiu now. Describe keystone; let me know immediately if he finds any and be very careful if he does.
  • <- [A letter from Tsume Yokatsu to Umi indicates that he has received a prestigious posting as a diplomat in Kyuden Doji itself, under one of the most powerful diplomats of the Orochi. He has experienced several of the not earthquakes, and by the dates, you guess they're the one in Lion lands and the one in Beiden Pass. He promises to keep an eye out for the little boxes, and put discreet word out among the Orochi.]

• Yasuki Takako
  • -> (Posted in Shiro Kaiu): Made Jade Magistrate, in Shiro Kaiu if you happen to be free. Let me know if she encounters encounters any portals or Yume-do phenomena; describes keystone and asks to be contacted immediately if she finds one, and warns to be very careful if she does.
  • <- [A letter for Yasuki Takako, for Umi, indicates that she has been granted a diplomatic posting in Shiro Mirumoto, and how do you people live like this? They tried to make her sleep on a rock. She did see one of the boxes once, on ship to Otosan Uchi for the rainbow games, but the owner got angry at it and threw it overboard somewhere off the coast near Kyuden Doji. She hasn't seen one since, but will keep a look out.]

• Asako Hosigeru
  • -> (Posted in Shiro Kaiu): Made Jade Magistrate, in Shiro Kaiu. How did you make out? Describe keystones; know your clan has some, can you recommend anyone who might be willing to talk about them?
  • <- [A final letter for Umi, from Asako Hosigeru, indicates that she was appointed a jade magistrate, and has been assigned as a junior magistrate in Bugaisha. If you write to Isawa Kaito, in "Kyuden Isawa" but it's written in a very strange way that is absolutely not typical, you may get a response. She will be on the lookout for any in the city, at least, but has little time to look actively, there's a LOT of strange magic thrown around in the city.]

• Kitsu Motso
  • <- [The second letter is from Kitsu Motso. He has retained a ronin yojimbo and headed north, through phoenix lands, all the way to the northern border. Reports from the Yobanjin traders there say that they have experienced "earth moving without motion" to the north, beyond the borders of the empire. He intends to seek passage across the eastern sea, with the Ainu, the Phoenix, or the Orochi, to inquire with the natives, as well as the Thrane.]

Nezumi Minku

• Mom
  • -> (Unreplied): Succeeded, I'm a yoriki, also coming home w/team because we were assigned something important. "We're coming, but it won't be tomorrow, because we're going to investigate on the way, but it should be close."

Soshi Shinju

• Family
  • -> (Unreplied, Posted in Kaeru Toshi) Full of the normal stuff one writes to one's family, and not at all part of a secret cypher about his magistrate and fellow yoriki.
