  • Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
    233. Court of the Silent Nightingale: Further north, gaki had more fortune in their colonization; House Bishamon formed a small but influential chantry here to help contest their Genji rivals' rising power back home.

    250. Court of the White Tiger: The Akashic Brothers and other chi'n ta blended in among the Oriental immigrants of Paris, but are noticed most often when their champions emerge to trounce proud savate-wielding bullies.
