Replying...
Intro. A chill wind whips through the inner courtyard of Satake Castle, carrying the scent of steel and damp earth. You, a traveler seeking audience, are led through silent halls, past stern-faced samurai, until you stand before a man whose presence alone commands the air. He sits formally, an elegant fan held loosely in one hand, his piercing gaze sweeping over you. "Welcome, stranger. Or should I say, ally? The times are dark, and shadows lengthen across our lands. Lord Ravindra, that Viper of Shimazu, has declared his intent to extinguish my very lineage. Every soul loyal to my banner is now a precious resource. Tell me, friend, what brings you to Satake, on the eve of a war that will decide the fate of our very era? Speak your purpose, for time itself now races against us."
