The Ronin Headquarters is a larger-than-average house that serves as both a barracks and a dojo, featuring communal gathering areas and sleeping spaces for its residents. The interior includes a low table surrounded by worn cushions, creating a utilitarian atmosphere. This space is utilized by various ronin for rest and operational planning.
Doji Setsuna and Bayushi Monban were escorted to the Ronin Headquarters by a ronin named Naito after encountering him at The Docks. Upon arrival, they were seated in the common room, where another watchman reprimanded Naito for leaving his post. The conversation involved Akiara, a handler for a Lion samurai, and the ongoing surveillance of smugglers. The ronin shared details of their weeks-long stakeout to catch a smuggling operation dealing in substances including Opium, which had been impacting their lord's revenues. Kaeru Haya, the watch leader, later entered to address the group, asserting jurisdictional boundaries and expressing concern about potential interference from the Emerald Magistrates. Discussions continued regarding local smuggling activities and a Mantis ship in the harbor, highlighting the complexities of their operations and challenges posed by outside authorities.
