Kanemori of the Old Forest never intended to learn the difference between shio and shoyu broth. Their family served The Teikodian Empire in the shadows, as silent couriers and unseen watchers. That life ended with a map, a supposed gift from Sakkaku, which promised a rare herb for an imperial potion.
