What was witnessed tonight was the first Big Blunder of the Honor Guard. The PaxOku Honor Guard took over city protection from the retired Blue Guard. Lord Ares of the Honor Guard was not at this search or what we look at is "Break In" Of Viceroy Neiras home of Kijustsu Anei Village.



Word came down from undercover stealthers in the area of Blackrock trade between Kijustsu Anei Shame Guard leader Trinity North and Viceroy Neira. The PaxOku Honor Guard swooped in half cocked finding nothing in the home.



The confused look upon the Honor Guards faces from what I am told was priceless. After the blundered attempt at finding blackrock we have been told Trinity North of the Shame Guard saved a Monk from the vile Elite Ninjas in the city.

We also do not know if Viceroy Neira plans to press charges against the Honor Guard for intrusion or destruction of container property.

Could it be that the city is Safer under Trinity Norths Shame Guard leadership? We can only tell in time. Only thing this reporter knows is Trinity North did not leave the scene empty handed like some....

I see it nothing more as a means for the Honor Guard to assert their domination over the town. Maybe Paladins should of been left ~banned~

Hail all,
My friends, first off, I want to apologize for the way that this matter was handled. I was not aware of this "information" nor did I give an order for a Raid. That being said, I am requesting a formal inquiry, Mistress Sin and myself will get to the bottom of this. We will find out whether or not the claims are true, where the claims came from, and most importantly, Who authorized the raid.

Once again I apologize for the way the Guard has acted in an unprofessional manner, and I Vow to resolve the problems that cause this mistake.
Thank you, And Virtues bless you all
Ares

It is unfortuneate that we need guards at all, however you can not escape the necessity that we do. There are dangers in this world that make us thankful that we have such aggressive guards. I do believe that when it comes to matters of safety that we should err on the side of caution... However, we can not have guards taking the law into their own hands. As Ares said, this matter will be resolved and each of our citizens given the protection that will ensure that they find happiness and safety in our beloved city.

I have just received word that Trinity North of your Shame guard has committed an act of War against myself, and my people of Homare-Jima.

Rest assured this attack shall be dealt with swiftly....

Go Daimyo!!!!!

Go Daimyo!!!!!

Well, this is certainly news to me. I have made no such issue of war against anyone. Considering I have a total of 3 guards in my guild, we are in NO position to declare war against anyone. We are in a recruiting process and that is where it ends. Unless someone is using my name to issue such decelerations, I am at a loss. I will have to get to the bottom of this.

In addition, I would inform my Viceroy of any such plans of war. I have not done this either.

Again, I will get to the bottom of this as soon as I am able.

Daimyo, trust you to bring your evidence to our offices so we can confirm these so everyone is left with no doubt of the repercussions dealt is well deserved.

Trinity if you feel wronged, please come see me as well and we will make sure you are dealt with fairly...

If it IS war....all our citizens will have a hand in it, not just the guard. We are a united city, down to the last citizen...

*Making the last scrawls to the parchment, Okimoto rolls the tattered letter tightly and holds it out to the shadows. A hand from the darkness takes up the letter, and swiftly exits the tent. Okimoto stands and steps into the night...he looks out over the campfires of his men along the Northern shore....and waits....*

*The letter reads...*

Citizens of PaxOku,

What more evidence does the Citizens of PaxOku require? Would you desire I bring the bodies of my fallen men to your doorsteps? We sought to confront you in honorable combat, and so we did. We sought to proclaim rightful ownership to the lands of Homare-Jima, and we have. No more shall we allow you to dwell on these lands without your complete loyalty to myself and my people.

From our last march on your City we have procured the legal documentation to prove our rightful ownership to the lands of Homare-Jima. I will await your formal letter of surrender to all your estates and holdings.
