Shogun Ikeda Yamato-dono, and the Office of the Admiralty

I greet you as the Honored Father-consort of Kazu, Kazu Hoang. I bring, with haste, account of the Summit of the Houses, as attended and attested by my wife, Honored Mother and head of Kazu, Kazu Kumano. I bring this directly, not by way of the myriad of public servants, as their desire to soften blows and save face will surely weaken the will of Kusari to do what must be done.

The statement:

I attended, and was greeted with open doors. Within those opened doors were closed ranks, closed minds, and closed hearts. Rheinland and Liberty seemed to have struck an agreement against us long before the Summit was even a concept. Bretonia cared only for their fear of the Gaul, but at the very least seemed willing to negotiate so long as that fear was addressed. I am proud to have overseen such a waste of time in the stead of one of higher standing.

On behalf of Kazu, I offer the forces we can muster of the Owari family. With the blessing of the Shogun, I will begin the full and unrestricted mobilization of the Owari family's augments, alongside a mandate to generate a form of augment that is more usable by those who do not dedicate their life training to resist and control the sensation of divinity that comes with these augments. The strength of Kazu, Katsuherabo, Owari, Igarashi, and Ogasawara is at the call of the Shogunate and the Emperor at all times. Whatever is required will be given.

May the New Way of Old Gods guide us.
