At Shiro Mirumoto; granted castle of Morikage Toshi; met with daimyos of Dragon and Phoenix and Hantei Aizen

Share information regarding Kizuki with leaders of Dragon & Phoenix.

Hantei Aizen met with Orca and claimed:


 * Bayushi Katchiko took advantage of a surprise Oni attack to kill Emperor Arima
 * Aizen intended to kill Arima but not to kill Asuna. He was hoping to ask Asuna to abdicate. He did not intend to implement the coup at the time it happened; that was Bayushi Katchiko taking advantage of an opportunity.
 * Bayushi Katchiko did not know killing Scorpion Daimyo would weaken wards at Oto San Uchi. Aizen delivered to Bayushi Katchiko the warning that Orca asked to be delivered about killing Scorpion Daimyo weakening Oto San Uchi wards, but the message arrived after Bayushi Katchiko had already killed her father.
 * While Aizen announced at inauguration that clans could fight one another over new land, he intended to cause posturing but not outright fighting. He wants peace among the clans.
 * Asked Mantis to build up navy to be able to defend against Koryo attacks before Mantis attacks islands.

Kizuki #1 was wearing Aizen's father's face--Aizen wants to check whether his father's bones are in the crypt.

Orca told Aizen of the masamune blade that Katchiko carries.
