Daughter Village is named in honor of Doji Mioko, the low-ranking maiden of the Doji who captured the heart of the first Hantei. The village is small but possesses an unparalleled view of the sea and a prosperous fishing industry. However, it is best known not for its fish but as the home of the Crane Clan’s highly proficient nakado (marriage arrangers). The nakado here are famous for taking the best interests of all parties to heart in any marriage arrangement, honoring the success of Mioko and Hantei’s marriage.
Unfortunately for the town, it has also developed a reputation for being full of unmarried women seeking husbands. This attracts single men by the dozens, along with disreputable vendors who cater to these visiting samurai – many of whom are selfish and lazy sorts who cannot get wives elsewhere. In an attempt to separate the wheat from the chaff, the town has placed the nakado residences high on the hills of the west side of town, allowing them to operate in dignity and peace; meanwhile, the wharf on the eastern shore is full of shady businessmen and lechers, rivaling the scum of Ryoko Owari.
Located off the shore from the village is the island where Hantei found Mioko. This now houses a small but beautiful shrine dedicated to Hantei and his bride; its main attraction is a single jade tear shed by the Emperor when he asked Mioko to marry him.
