Izaku Miruko

Asako Miruko worked alongside Agasha Tsuru to accumulate the scrolls for the Izaku Library. The two roamed the Empire in search for lost knowledge, and when their task reached its fruition, their lords offered them, seperately, a single favor. The Phoenix daimyo offered Miruko to marry anyone she would like to marry, releasing her of the traditional matchmaking, and in light of this, she chose Tsuru. The Dragon Lord offered the same favor, but Tsuru wished for Miruko to marry a lord. Tsuru had come to love the Phoenix woman so much, and he wanted her to experience a secured and luxurious life. Both clans agreed. The Dragon daimyo gave Tsuru an estate and named him the first Izaku, making him a lord and the first daimyo of the Izaku family. Afterwards, he offered Miruko to be his wife and she agreed. As their love had allowed the mystic knowledge of the Empire to be reborn, their children would protect that knowledge forever. The Agasha family (who are not yet Phoenix) and Asako agreed to share the resources of the library so that both the Dragon and Phoenix might benefit. (SoPhoenix p. 26)
