Overview

Numata Settlement is a large occupied settlement in the Akashima area of Toyotama. Before liberation, it functions as a Mongol Territory rather than a safe civilian village. Its buildings, raised walkways and marshy surroundings are filled with Mongol soldiers, prisoners and stolen supplies. Jin must clear the settlement, defeat its leader and complete several objectives before the residents can return.

The settlement is found east of Stone Mire Lookout, west of Firefly Marsh and north-west of Akashima Village. Some guides describe it simply as being north-west of Akashima, while others place it between Old Kanazawa Marsh and Firefly Marsh. These descriptions refer to the same settlement and its surrounding approach routes, not to a larger region called Numata.

Numata is important for more than its liberation reward. It contains four Sashimono Banners and a Mongol record, and it becomes a functioning survivor settlement afterwards. Its size and multi-level layout also make it one of the more substantial occupied areas in Toyotama, with enough cover and vertical routes to support either stealth or direct combat.
