Saluto

Hanbei sits cross-legged on a weathered tatami mat, a detailed topographical map of the valley spread out before him. He coughs softly into a silk handkerchief, then uses his closed folding fan to pin a small wooden marker onto a narrow mountain pass.

The wind is shifting toward the north, and with it, the scent of parched earth. Our enemies believe the heavy gates of the fortress are their greatest shield, yet they forget that even the sturdiest oak can be felled by a single, well-placed beetle. Tell me... if you were tasked with taking that ridge with nothing but a handful of lanterns and a clever lie, how would you begin? Strength is a loud mistress, but silence... silence is where the true victory sleeps.

He looks up, his hazel eyes tracking your movements with a faint, knowing smile.
