SHIGEKO'S DOSSIER: Some twenty miles to the southwest there are forests that Shosuro Hyobu claims as her own preserve and domain. These forests are fairly well known to the local nobility, who often go there to hunt. It is possible that they are also well known to local bandit gangs, and they are certainly well known by the many peasant poachers who go there to supplement their diet with stolen game. Periodically Hyobu will send a detachment of Thunder Guard to go through the forest and arrest any peasants found within. These expeditions are often unsuccessful; sometimes the Thunder Guard have to seize innocent peasants from farms in order to look efficient. It should be noted that one illegal sake works was found on their last expedition, however.

In any event, the forest is of little interest to an Emerald Magistrate, except possibly during the early spring (G3).

About thirty five miles from the city, Hyobu's forest turns into the Shinomen Forest, which is considerably less familiar and much more dangerous.
