Lore

"Honor in Service" - Matsuba Clan Maxim

Though many of the Matsuba clan have served as Kugane’s bugyo—including the very first—the forty-seven-year-old magistrate of the city is nevertheless a man of some distinction. With the permission of the bakufu, he studied abroad in Radz-at-Han, and following his return he served in a variety of important posts before finally being granted his position in Kugane. A master of multiple languages and an avid connoisseur of the arts, he regularly hosts Hingan dance performances at Kugane Castle. However, this is less a personal indulgence and more a means to entertain foreign dignitaries, and in so doing create opportunities to engage in “cultural exchange,” much in the same way an Eorzean politician might organize a ball to bring together the influential elite. Alas, one such recent event was targeted by an insurgent faction vehemently opposed to foreign interests, and in the chaos the bugyo himself was taken hostage. Though he survived the ordeal, his position within the bakufu has been somewhat tenuous ever since.
