Shaiga

Shaiga is a quiet village governed by the Tsuruchi and populated entirely by heimin. All the heimin here have been secretely taught how to use peasant weapons such as the Tonfa, and they all act as the village's guardians. The village accounts for the Tsuruchi family's food productions, but also hold another secret. Located nearby is a vein of gold, which is mined lightly to keep it tax free and secret. (3E p. 294)
