The man that [[Willowshore]] calls [[“Old” Matsuki]] (male human carpenter) once apprenticed to the head carpenter of the Tan Sugi monastery. After taking leave from his master, he led his family to construct a large Tian-shu/Minkaian estate to house all two dozen of them. Reportedly, the superstitious patriarch then made sure that the outer walls were whitewashed with limestone containing blessed salts and holy water. Today, Old Matsuki is the most influential of Willowshore’s Southbank faction and serves as the faction’s spokesman.
