Yoritomo Kanahashi

In 1198 Kanahashi had been appointed as the senior magistrate to Kalani's Landing, in the Colonies, and Yoritomo Kanaye was her personal yojimbo. [1] She had to make an annual trip to the Second City for reporting. [2]

Hiromi's Visit[]

Shortly after the departure of the Mantis Clan Champion Yoritomo Hiromi appeared Tsuruchi Samuru looking for his lord, to convey a message from the Moshi Daimyo in the Second City. [1]

A Cloth Bundle[]

Kanahashi was met by Anshu, son of the late Mantis Clan Champion Yoritomo Aramasu. He and his companion Mirumoto Kojinrue had explored the Maharaja's Vault in the ruins of the Ivory Palace. In their return to Kalani's Landing they were chased by the spirits of the Maharajas, hungry for revenge for those who broke the seal of their treasures. Kanahashi ordered to tend Kojinrue, who was grievously wounded and unconscious. The aid of a Toritaka was requested, to appease the army of dead. In case he perished in the defence of Kojinrue against the spirits, Anshu gave a cloth bundle to Kanahashi. She had to send it to the current Mantis Champion, Hiromi. [3]


“It was my father's. It will change everything.” -Anshu [3]

Exploration[]

Kalani's Landing Razed[]

Some said that Agasha Kodo had killed Kanahashi [10] during a tea ceremony. [11] In 1199 Kodo had been sent to the Kalani's Landing to take care of the Master of Water Asako Chukage, who had suffered certain insanity during P'an Ku's madness. Kanahashi visited Kodo, requesting to speak with Chukage, and had warned the courtier that she would spread the notice if the Master of Water had been affected by this plague of insanity. Kodo in turn showed a nemuranai known as Raiden to the magistate, which at her command erupted a lighting, consuming Kanahashi utterly. [12]
