Overview
Aoi Village is a small farming and fishing settlement on the south-western coast of Tsutsu, in the Izuhara region. It is best understood as a village settlement and its immediately surrounding occupied farm territory, rather than as a broad district containing several named locations. The village is not a major hub like Hiyoshi Springs or Komatsu Forge, but it has an unusually important place in the game’s progression: it is tied to Kenji’s first tale, supplies one of the keys needed for The Unbreakable Gosaku, and later becomes a Mongol Territory during Act 2.
Aoi Village therefore changes function during the story. Early in the campaign it is a troubled rural community where Jin can meet Kenji and help a captive farmer. After the events at Castle Kaneda, the Mongols retaliate against several settlements, including Aoi Village. Jin must then liberate it as an occupied territory.
