    Wip Gaijinoshima

    OK, started working on my "Foreigner's Port" of Gaijinoshima, the starting location for my Kaidan campaign arc. This town is largely inhabited by Eta caste (Hungry Ghost realm), the lowest tier in the Kaidanese social structure. Merchants, prostitutes, yakuza, butchers, tanners and longshoreman are all members of that caste and residents of Gaijinoshima.

    Of course "Gaijin" means foreigners or outsiders, and "shima" means island.

    Although there is currently a Kaidanese merchant ship in port, I plan to place a western styled caravel or comparable next to it to the south - as the ship that brings the PCs into this world.

    I'm about a third complete, need more buildings to place and more to create. I plan to place some walled off sections of town, to divide between various castes.

    Gaijinoshima is an anomalous place in that though part of the empire, it falls outside the planar construct of the Wheel of Life and a place that Kaidanese do not want to die, as they are exempt from reincarnation here. That is why the Eta have been forced to be the primary inhabitants. There are a few craftsmen, fisherman, a garrison of samurai under the lead of a hatamoto appointed "ruler", though these latter members do not live in Gaijinoshima, rather dwell across the bay in the city of Uesaki on the mainland. They come here in shifts of 12 hours to work their occupations, but return each day to shore as their opposition shift arrives.
