After being dispersed by the Dragon Clan's army, the bandits ran into the wilds and hid. Now they have begun to coalesce into new gangs which have begun raiding and terrorizing the people once again. The Eyes of Nanashi, an otokodate that protect Nanashi Mura, have been working with the Dragon Clan to find these bandit gangs and stamp them out for good.

However the terrain is vast, rugged, and their quarry number in the thousands while they are few. The time has come that they must call on the aid of those outside of their fellowship to join their cause. To that end Daishi, the Eye's second in command has reached out to several samurai he believes are willing to lend assistance in this noble cause. Though the Eyes of Nanashi cannot offer wealth, power, or influence like others might; they offer something much more precious: the chance to fight for a just cause.
