The Tortoise Clan as a whole makes few pretensions to nobility. In Slow Tide Harbor, most of their samurai live scattered through the town alongside the common folk. However, the governor does maintain an official residence, a large two-story estate with a walled garden and attached stables, guard station, and servants' quarters. The other high-ranking Tortoise samurai and officials all live nearby, forming a neighborhood that is as close as Slow Tide gets to a "Noble Quarter."
