Inari, in Japanese mythology, god primarily known as the protector of rice cultivation. The god also furthers prosperity and is worshiped particularly by merchants and tradesmen, is the patron deity of swordsmiths and is associated with brothels and entertainers. Popular in both Shinto and Buddhist religions, his shrines make up more than a third of all Shrines in Japan. Seems pretty likely.

    The end of the season found you and Hiroshi interviewing the various candidate that had come forward to serve you, some of them were rejected without a second thought; while others received a more severe scrutiny

    Rolled 86+15=101

    The first candidate was a old ronin that went by the name of Musashi, he arrived one day and asked for you. When you two where left alone he told you his story; his previous Daimyo died in battle and he, not having fought with him in said battle was spared by the winners; so he started wandering the land in search of a new master to serve. After some question on his skill and pedigree you agreed to take him in your service.

    One of the first thing you did was to nominate a Village Elder to help you have a better understanding of the needs of the people. After having convoked the various families heads you talked with each one separately in order to find the best candidate; finally you fund the right one: a former Ashigaru called Aoi that had served your family for over two decades before retiring after a leg injury that left him with a limp. You talked with him about his new duty and found him more than happy to taek up the mantle of village elder.

    You were desperate, despite the offer nobody had taken up your offer, nobody! One night when you were sleeping you were awoken by a current of air, raising from your tatami you found the sliding door of your room open, so after closing it you tried to return to your sleep only to see someone sitting in the corner of the room drinking tea; before you could give the alarm the figure spoke "Don't be hasty, I mean you no harm" while slowing moving yourself towards your katana you asked " Who are you?" "You know me" said the figure raising from his position and coming towards the light offered by the lamp. Now you could see his face "Hibiki, Hibiki Morino? What are you doing here?"; the man was in fact known to you, he was a servant at your family castle, "I heard that you were in need of someone able to go unnoticed and that would not shy away from the action needed to be done; and so here I am" finally after a few moment you found yourself speaking again "You are a ninja right?" "Indeed I am" "And you want to serve me, not my uncle but me?" "Yes this is my intention, if you will have me" after pondering the right answer you decided to accept his offer, founding yourself with a ninja in your employment.

    • Well this is great. We got top notch intrigue and martial advisers, and our diplomacy advisor is at least middling and we have the stats to make up for that. I'm looking forward to improving prowess under sensei Musashi.
     
    Some good rolls mostly - and we can at least make up the diplomatic deficit with our own skills. Should be a solid foundation to establish our state!
     
    Well we have foundation now in our council and some very nice rolls shame about the farm but you cant win at every front especially not with dice

    Sorry, but who? It can't be Musashi Miyamoto, because he was born well after the Takeda and Mori clans had declined in importance, when the chargen stage puts them at their prime.

    There is more than one Musashi Miyamoto.

    Shinmen Munisai - Wikipedia

    en.m.wikipedia.org en.m.wikipedia.org

    While the details are shaky, Shinmen Munisai, Musashi Miyamoto's father, is himself known as the son of a Musashi Miyamoto. Given the timeline, the lord he speaks of might be Imagawa Yoshimoto, who perished in battle in 1960. We maybe dealing with the grandfather of the more famous swordsman known by that name.

    Alternative, the timeline of the quest is determined by the choice of clan to ensure a degree of balance between clan options.
     
    What brought me to Sufficient Velocity were the CK2 quests; and specifically Dwarfs ones. Today I asked @Mad0Slayer permission to start a quest inspired by his works, and he gave it.
    So I'm sorry to say that this quest will be put on hiatus for the moment while I work one this new one. Some may say it's a pattern for me but I have planned this new quest for months and now that I have permission to complete it using some parts of work taken from who is probably my favorite writer I cannot stop thinking about this dwarves quest.
    So i'm really sorry to stop what I'm sure would have become a beautiful quest.
    I hope to see you on the new work that will be posted tomorrow
