After enjoying a peaceful sunrise, I learned of the legendary armor of Tadayori Nagao from a peasant. I traveled to find the musician Yamato, who spoke of Tadayori's peaceful death and his vanished armor. Following clues about a "violet crown," I fought through bandits in northern Azamo to begin searching for the legendary gear.
I found a small group of peasants living by the beachside after taking a moment to enjoy a beautiful sunrise. It looked like they were gathered to start working for the day, so I approached to see if they had any news.
One of the peasants spoke of the tale of Tadayori, a legendary archer whose armor was said to grant incredible power. Jin expressed interest in the story, and the peasant suggested I seek out a musician named Yamato for the full legend.
The peasant told me Yamato could be found near the river that separates the region from Tsutsu. I wasted no time and started riding toward the spot, eager to track down this piece of history.
I rode for a long time, choosing to ignore the various Mongol patrols and bandits scattered along the road. I eventually found the musician telling his stories to some peasants.
I spoke to Yamato, and he recounted the legend of Tadayori Nagao. He described how the hero saved Tsushima from a pirate invasion and mentioned that his famous armor simply vanished after he passed away peacefully at home.
Yamato mentioned the few surviving writings about Tadayori refer to a "violet crown" in northern Azamo where he used to meditate. With this clue in mind, the Legend of Tadayori officially began, and I started traveling north.
On my way, I ran into some groups of Mongol. I wasn't looking for a distraction, so I pushed my horse to the limit to escape them as they tried to charge me for a fight.
Once I reached the search area in northern Azamo, I was forced into a fight with a group of bandits. They were guarding the fields of violet flowers I needed to investigate, so I had to clear them out first.
When only the last bandit remained, I decided to test out my new smoke bomb. I threw it at his feet and moved in for a cool-looking assassination while he was blinded by the smoke.

The sunrise at the start of this journey looked absolutely breathtaking, and using a smoke bomb for that final assassination was a very stylish move.
Thanks for the words.
I noticed you chose to ignore the Mongol patrols to reach Yamato quickly. Sometimes the best way to be a Samurai is to stay focused on the objective, especially when a legendary archer's legacy is waiting at the end of the road.
Thanks for the words.

It was smart to test out the smoke bomb on that last bandit. Seeing Jin move through the cloud for a blinded assassination is always satisfying and shows how much your arsenal is growing.
This was the first time I used a smoke bomb in a fight and it looked real supportive.
Your narrative of the journey was excellent. You captured the transition from a peaceful sunrise to a smoke-filled assassination with a great sense of flow.
Thanks for the words.
I liked how you focused on the Legend of Tadayori lore. Pursuing the armor of a legendary archer is a perfect way to upgrade Jin's capabilities for the bigger battles ahead.
I didn't know I was going for a cool armor when I went to talk to that lady. but it paid off.
