Two roads connect it to two Taya cities, one of them crossing the Muli River which circles the middle of the Island. To the East is the Ahi Coast, to the North the Illa woods. To the far northeast is Mt Nupuri, East of that are the Chantou Gardens.The next day, Kaori joins your impromptu cabinet alongside Nizax and Kaiali'i, who averts her eyes.
Kaiali'i: We are blessed to have you Kahuna Kaori
Kaori: Mahalo, but I’m not a priest.
Nizax: You speak Ahi?
Kaori: We’re seven tribes, but one Island, I try my best to meet people where they are.
You lift Kaiali'i’s blushing face as you welcome your new advisor.
“Then you’ll be perfect for today’s topic. Where should we campaign next?”
Kaiali'i: The Ponni, Taya, and Muli are close enough that if we campaign with them we might be able to try another tribe before the election. The Illa, Nupuri, and Chantou are far enough that if we picked one of them, it would be the last stop before the votes happen.
“Let’s take turns, what do you suggest?”
Kaiali'i: The Muli or the Ponni, Norodom has a slight lead but it's because Neikokan is split between you over her offer to the Eight tribe. Shoring support there would put us over the top.
“Nizax?”
Nizax: The council has paused the fleet’s distribution of Ebbikele. The Illa, Nupri, and Chantou haven’t received any. We should move to give them what we owe, the best campaign is doing our duty.
“Kaori?”
Kaori: You’ve spent a lot of time in Kutha Rakyat and the Ahi Coast, but if you want to be a good Axeholder, you need to be familiar with the whole Island, not just where you’re comfortable. You should go to a tribe you haven't been to or even campaign with the rest of the Taya.
Kaiali'i: Are you trying to get him killed!!!
The group is stunned by Kaiali'i’s outburst. Including herself
Kaiali'i: I’m sorry, I just, I mean...
Kaori: It’s fine, emotions are the windows to our needs. Speak your concern.
Kaiali'i: *sigh* The rest of the Taya have been hostile to the very *idea* of the Axeholder since Aganna’s second year. Lono and Norodom are fighting over the minority of Taya voting in Kutha Rakyat, the rest of them might as well not be on The Island.
Kaori: We can’t write off two-thirds of an entire tribe. Think of how it looks for The Great Peace if the same fleet Chief Zees decried dropped off the treasures of the sea right at the Empty Hall.
Nizax: From what I heard, making a Taya city the Axeholder’s capital almost restarted The Great Wars. Crossing Daunbilo could be a provocation.
Kaori: Or a way to heal.
