Evidence

Sifting through the evidence collected from Moritsune's residence, the group makes the following
discoveries.

- Moritsune kept records of the shipments to and from Koga Keep.  Rough estimates of the amount of
iron coming in suggests it would have been enough to outfit the entirety of the Fire Eaters gang with
hatchets and make enough weapons to outfit roughly two thirds of the city guard (200ish).  Records of
the shipments leaving Ryoko Owari suggest the amount of dead bodies sent to Koga to be roughly 1,000. 
Other records include purchases from waste collectors for fertilizer, sale of excess iron to other
blacksmiths and agencies in the region, and cultists within Ryoko Owari (of which only a handful are still
alive).

- Moritsune had gathered intelligence on the city guard.  Among his papers were watch rotations, current
strength, post locations, and an assessment of the general strength of the cities defenses.  There are also
some preliminary battle plans drawn indicating an attack on the city from the north, but they do not
appear to be by Moritsune's hand.

- There is little record of any permanent bloodspeaker cells operating in Ryoko Owari.  The few cells raised
seem to have been for a specific purpose.  There are two main cells which were documented by
Moritsune.

1- The first cell was raised by a man named Hase, who was one of Kaidu's other lieutenants.  It was
created when the Red Dawn was first taking root in Ryoko Owari and was apparently meant as a decoy. 
Hase gathered a group of eighteen followers and taught them all he knew of Maho, with little effort
toward caution or secrecy.  The group drew the attention of the magistrates when one of their members
attacked a crowd in a gambling den.  Bayushi Amoro quickly followed the trail back to the warehouse
where the cultists had been learning their dark arts.  Nearly the entire cell was killed in the ensuing battle,
with only four cultists escaping with their lives (Hase apparently not among them).  These survivors, now
without a leader, attempted to raise their own cells with varied success.  Moritsune kept tabs on these
errant cells, but all were hunted down and killed during Utaku Yumiko's winter raids.

2- The second cell was raised in reaction to Yumiko's raids came too close to discovering Moritsune's
operations.  Yumiko had apparently discovered some tainted Fire Eaters during her purges.  Moritsune
called in another of Kaidu's lieutenants, Noburo, to deal with the situation.  Noburo brought with him a
number of ronin, hired in Naishou province and empowered with the taint.  He gathered a number of
peasants who he gifted with the taint and basic lessons in maho to act as shock troops and then lured
Yumiko and her yoriki to a warehouse in the Crab Caves.  Noburo and a handful of his ronin survived the
battle and had hoped to capitalize on the lack of magistrates in the city, but died at the hands of a small
group of yoriki who had just arrived in the city.

Peasants

The peasants working the morgues yield no unusual information.  The bodies
would be delivered to their facilities, cleaned, and readied for transportation to
either the crematorium or the funeral ceremony.  Similarly, the cart bearers
who transported the bodies to the crematoriums had no knowledge that
anything was amiss.  The workers at the crematorium reveal that Moritsune
had approached them offering money and freedom from their desperate
lives.  The bodies would be received from the morgues and held for
transportation to Koga Keep.  The carts that were to move the bodies would
arrive with waste to be burned in place of the bodies.  The waste would be
burned, and the ash delivered to the families or priests so that no one would
suspect the bodies hadn't been disposed of.

Follow up investigation by the city guard and a review of papers found in

Moritsune's home reveals that Moritsune had been purchasing waste from the
eta under the pretense of fertilizer for crop fields in Naishou Province.
Kimoji
Moritsune had approached Kimogi over a year ago with a proposal to supply the blacksmith with iron
from Koga Keep to be forged and sold as directed by Moritsune.  Kimogi had thought the proposal to be
odd, but the terms were so advantageous that he accepted.  Shortly thereafter, Moritsune arrived with
a contract for the iron to be forged into hatchets and sold to the Fire Eaters. Kimogi worked the iron for
about a month before he noticed a change in the quality of the iron coming from Koga Keep. Moritsune
explained that a new vein of iron had been discovered in the mines. Kimogi agreed to smith this new
ore, finding it to be of good quality.  After roughly a week of working the new ore, however, Kimogi
began to feel ill. Relaying his complaints to Moritsune, Moristune explained that it was likely due to the
smithing process releasing dust and vapors from the ore.  Moritsune said that some of the miners had
also been affected similarly.  Moritsune began supplying Kimogi with an herbal remedy to be drank daily
as tea, which had reportedly helped the miners overcome their illness.  The tea seemed to suppress the
worst of his sickness, and the money from the contract was so good, that Kimogi agreed to continue
smithing the new ore.  Eventually, Moritsune brought another contract to forge the iron into weapons
for the soldiers and guards of Koga Keep and the neighboring villages in the Naishou Province.  Kimogi
was first to smith a katana as a test, to see if the iron would be suitable.  After the blade was forged and
deemed worthy, Moritsune gifted the sword to Kimogi so that he may sell it.
