No large settlement in Rokugan can survive without the lowly burakumin to collect the refuse and dispose of the dead, and in this regard Slow Tide Harbor is unexceptional. About a hundred such hinin live in this satellite village located on the northern fringe of the town's farmlands. A pair of narrow, winding paths connect it to the main body of Slow Tide Harbor; one of these leads to the primary residential part of town, while the other eventually turns into the Street of Lowering Clouds, entering the town through the neighborhood known as The Wallow.
