Scorpion Lands is a region surrounded by urban centers, with a river running through it that provides potential access to neighboring clan territories, including Unicorn, Scorpion, Lion, and possibly Dragon lands. The presence of a Ifrit, an Efreet, indicates a connection to elemental forces.
Recent events in Scorpion Lands included a confrontation with the Efreet, which was bound and contained after a chaotic battle. Following the binding, The Governor provided quarters for the night as authorities worked to stabilize the situation. Doji Setsuna insisted on taking the Efreet's containment box to her quarters, despite warnings about its dangers. Shiba Midori and Bayushi Monban attempted to persuade her to relinquish the box due to its potential for possession and influence.
As tensions rose, Bayushi Monban and Shiba Midori sought to take the box outside the city to release the Efreet, considering the political implications of their actions. They discussed terrain constraints and the risks of theft, acknowledging that the longer the box remained, the more likely it would be stolen. The group ultimately decided to take an unmanned boat upriver, with Bayushi Monban in charge of transport, while Kakita Kazumi disguised himself to join them as a rower. Doji Setsuna remained behind, exhausted and no longer in possession of the box.
