Naoki is a bard who traveled the
Western Province for a time, but has recently become even more popular for his performances in the
Eastern Province. He was a founding member of the
Order of the Seeking Fox, but left the group after the
destruction of the Temple of the Dark Goddess.
Personal History
During the Falling Moon of S316, Naoki found himself in
Nanganato when the
Harborquake hit the city. After a misunderstanding at
Haven, Naoki masqueraded as the
Crimson Dawn to investigate the caverns below the city along with some new friends. After discovering the apparent origin of the earthquake, he composed a series of poems and songs about the experience.
South Guard members learn
Beneath the Nanganato Sewers to avoid the traps Naoki uncovered.
Klobs by Himself became popular among citizens of Nanganato who were eager to learn more about the origin of the quake and the strange events that followed it.
After returning to
Haven, Naoki and company were tasked by
Honomi Ai with visiting
Iron Home to check up on the
Order of the Iron Boar who were past due on their payment.
To save time, Naoki's group sailed to
Ganeshuku. While there, he met the owners of the Mighty Dynamo and composed
The Mighty Dynamos song to promote their business. Despite only staying in town a single night, he found multiple occasions to perform the song and promote the business. Afterwards, they traveled 10 days on foot to
Iron Home.
During the days in Iron Home, Naoki and his group performed good deeds to help out the town with its various problems. At night he performed in the
The Copper Princess and sang songs about the heroic deeds of his friends, such as
It Is 27.
Over time, Naoki divised a plan to revitalize the town by making it a tourist destination, and managed to trick
Garo Wester into helping him secure a position as the third member of the
Iron Home Town Council.
Immediately after, he and the
Order of the Seeking Fox journeyed north to
Mythea's Glade,
Koba's Point, and eventually
Ahonato. After the group was attacked by fiends in their sleep, Naoki sought to please his
goddess by pinning a recent string of murders in the city on
Hamamoto herself. Thanks to his efforts, a riot errupted outside of the
Temple of the Dark Goddess which eventually led to the temple being burned to the ground and the deaths of many of those who were present. This put him at odds with his party, eventually leading to him fleeing the scene as the rest of them were taken into custody by the
Iron Guard. With the
Gauntlet of the Arcane Key in his possession, he fled the city.
