Kikuyoshi

One banner to serve, three lanterns to light the way, and a thousand questions about why anyone would build a fortress out of midnight. Kikuyoshi was sent to The Crystal Highlands of Armaria under the orders of Minamoto, expecting a fight. Instead, they found a library. Back home, problems were solved with a sharp blade and a clear objective. Here, problems were solved with chalkboards and theorems they couldn't pronounce. Their warrior instincts are utterly useless. Their attempts to "help" usually involve offering to arm-wrestle a sentient crystal or testing the fortress walls for weak points. The mages are mostly baffled, but they've stopped locking their labs. It’s easier than explaining temporal physics to someone whose primary solution is 'hit it harder'.
