Activities & work
A life between adventures.
Spend a day learning a craft, practicing an art or earning your keep. Different activities ask you to take part in different ways.
Work
Try your hand at it.
Take business assignments, pan streams for iron-sand, and tend individual field plots at your home. Completed work can earn money and build an employer’s trust, improving later pay.

Fishing
Learn what the water holds.
Choose bait and depth, watch for a bite, then steer against the fish’s pull while managing line tension. Twelve species favor different waters, seasons and hours. Keep your catch for the table or market, or release it and record its size.

Cooking & home
A catch becomes supper.
Bring fish, farm crops and gathered ingredients to your estate kitchen. Tend the fire and stir the pot to prepare twelve dishes. Eat on the road or share a daily household meal. A smokehouse preserves catches, while a garden, pond, workshop and other improvements give the estate new uses.

Arts
Practice more than the blade.
Tea, poetry, calligraphy, rhythm, falconry and breath practice use dedicated activity scenes. Read the situation, choose the next step or respond with timing, depending on the discipline.

Conversation
Get to know the person.
Listen for a brief spoken Japanese line as conversation begins. Characters use stable voice identities with variations suited to their age, station and relationship. Speech has separate volume and mute controls. Personal bonds shape what people are willing to offer.

A change of pace.
Step away from the road for focused practice or a moment of leisure.
