Kitsuki Noriko was a magistrate of the Dragon Clan.
== Station ==
Noriko was descendant of magistrates, as her mother and father, and three of her grandparents. She assumed a magistrate's post in Distant Paddy Village, where Noriko uncovered a black-market conspiracy, rice was being funneled from the official stocks, to help feed commoners facing shortages resulting from fields left fallow by the faltering Dragon birth-rate.Instead to end the black-market scheme and condemning the hungry commoners to scarcity, she looked the other way. A group of samurai, part of a joint trade delegation representing different clans, began to investiagte a fire which destroyed one of the largest granaries in the town. These samurai uncovered the scheme and that Noriko had covered them up. They also uncovered the arsonist, a merchant and rival to the owner of the burned granary, who did indeed seek to inflate the value of his own product by causing
an artificial shortage. Writ of the Wilds, pp. 66-67
