Island Network: You have merchant contacts throughout the Ryukami Archipelago. You can trade rumors for information, find passage on merchant vessels, and identify which daimyo or noble houses control specific trade routes. Once per month, you can call in a favor worth supplies or passage.
I measure wealth not in gold but in relationships and reliable contacts.
I trust my gut instincts about people—they've rarely steered me wrong.
Prosperity: Free trade flows through these islands like monsoon winds.
Cunning: The cleverest deal beats the sharpest sword.
I lost a trading partner to pirates. I know who leads them, and I'll find them.
My reputation depends on my word—I've never broken a contract.
I'm willing to bend laws if profit is high enough.
I regard most people as either clients or obstacles.
