And here it is.

Edit: Excellent post. I hope mine is up to standard. I'm sorry if it's ... 'eh', but I tried to make it interesting enough.

I did a little research, so hopefully everything is semi-accurate.

Everything's looking good so far. In regards to the other two families, did you want to end up playing one family and I the other, or do you think it would be better if we split the roles of each family between us?

Glad to hear it. :)

Hm... I think it could work either way. It may be more manageable to play one family each, though. Did you have a preference?

I can see it working either way. I think it would be fun if we could play off of one another within the families, but it would be easier to manage if we each just controlled one family. Maybe each of us could play the core (mother-father-daughter) of each family, and leave side characters, like a brother or a cousin or whatnot up for grabs. It may work better that way if we're planning bits of deception and bloodshed.

I must apologize for the length. Unfortunately, I was a bit lost for what else to add to this post -- I hope what I've given you is enough to work with.

I agree that it would be more interesting if we could play off each other. I think what you've suggested is a good compromise. Would you prefer to take the Tanzo or the Karada? I'm not much concerned; feel free to choose and I'll take what's left.

The length of the post is fine. I expect that I'll be making posts of that length from time to time as well, and my last couple have been rather long since there was quite a bit to set up.

I'll take the Tanzo. Their main "selling point" for the Aroi family is that their lord is a smaller Daimyo that shares borders with the Aroi family. They cannot match the Aroi clan in terms of military might, but an alliance through marriage would clearly be beneficial to both of them.

I expect that most of mine will be longer. In this particular scene, there isn't very much to do.

I'll take the Karada, then. I was thinking of (maybe) making them a very wealthy merchant family -- I've been doing some research and this would probably be feasible enough... It'd add some variety, at least. I'm looking up how importation worked back in the feudal era -- if there was any at all.

There was some importation of Western goods, but they were generally rare. Access to them would likely give a merchant a significant advantage, so I'm sure it would be feasible.

I think that's what I'll do with the Karada, then.

I made the assumption that the Aroi would have a bunch of household servants, being of their status and wealth.
