• A missive, penned by the Mistress of Ookami Kiri, for the Enlightened Master of the Tanada Clan, Master Seijuro.

Unto the Honored Master Seijuro,

It has been many years since last we spoke. I hope the years have treated you well. My apologies for not coming to you personally, but it seems there are many dark tidings as of late, and I am not yet skilled in being in all places at once.

As I am sure you are aware, many of the Tanada clan have recently entered Dereth, seemingly escaping from the dark dishonor they suffered in Ispar. My apprentices have been watching these newly arrived Enlightened Masters of your clan, and have found signs of corruption within their ranks. A darkness seems to eat at the clan, and I would request your assistance in rooting it out.

You proved to be both a kind and honorable man when we first met. I do hope we can work together to help keep corruption from consuming the hearts of your kindred and clan.

Notes

• Obtained by giving the Folded Missive to Ookami Kiri:

You give Ookami Kiri Folded Missive.

Ookami Kiri takes the note with a polite bow, and then reads over it quickly.

Ookami Kiri tells you, "It seems, looking at this medallion, that Sayuji Jina-san's fears have born fruit. My Mistress feared that this may have been the case, and has left me with a course of action, which I will now pass on to you."

Ookami Kiri tells you, "There is an Enlightened Master of the Tanada Clan, one who came to Dereth in the beginnings of the Portals appearing in Sho lands. My Mistress has left me with a message to send to him, to seek his aid should Jina-san's fears prove true. If this corruption upon the Tanada Clan of the Nanjou Shou-Jen be a recent one, which it does seem to be, then he may be free of it still."

Ookami Kiri tells you, "Take this letter to the Tanada training school, hidden at 66.3N, 7.6E, and deliver it to Master Seijuro. Be warned, however, that the students of this school will not take kindly to your arrival, and you will need to prove your worth to meet Master Seijuro, much as you did in gaining this medallion for Jina-san."

Ookami Kiri gives you A Formal Request.

• Give to Master Seijuro for the Medallion of the Sword:

You give Master Seijuro A Formal Request.

As Master Seijuro reads the letter, a look of mild surprise passes over his face.

Master Seijuro tells you, "Well, I honestly never thought I'd see a letter in this handwriting ever again..."

Master Seijuro tells you, "It's been years since the battle at Yanshi, and she's been gone ever since. Now, she resurfaces, with such dire words, requesting my help..."

Master Seijuro tells you, "Were these words to have come from any but the one who sent you, I'd have killed you on the spot for such an accusation. But, I owe her my life, and I trust her judgment."

Master Seijuro tells you, "Here, take this token to the one who sent you. She will know what it means, and will know how to respond to it. Consider it my final test of you, to ensure that this letter is real. If this letter is a fake, and your Mistress is not whom I think it is, then you will know the wrath of the Tanada Clan. Now, go."

Master Seijuro gives you Medallion of the Sword.
