== Bloodspeakers ==
A Bloodspeaker cell based in the nearby Yasurugi Monastery kidnapped a young peasant, and two months later, murdered a blacksmithy worker. The headman Shidou, his wife, and his daughter all disappeared together on the same night. The local samurai, Matsu Sukio, was too involved with her own concerns, so the local doshin, Kozo and Mukitsu, supported a group of visiting samurai who had been sent to investigate the crimes.
