		+	Speculation is that these poems might link to the Shogunate era sewer systems found under the Imperial Gardens and under the City itself. The song-line style poems used by the denizens of the sewers, like the demon-poems, could be key to understanding how to find significant locations. Okubo might have left these as guides for us once we find the starting location in the Gardens... possibly under the Sesus pavillion.

A painting in the Ledaal wing of the palace gave him insight on the origins as of the thread Flowers Blossom in Spring.

+[[Sesus Ketek]] embarked on an expedition deep into the Southern deserts that would in the end claim his life. A journal was found, left by Okubo in a tomb marked for his father, detailing the expedition noting important landmarks and oasis (transcribe journal here).
 Tyros compared the journal to Rekka's description of her migratory patterns and drew a rudimentary map comparing them. Ketek's journey brought him further south than the safest oasis Rekka knows of.
-A letter from Tepet Yoshimitsu of the 9th Legion to Cathak Okubo can be found in the Ducks in a Row thread. It was found in Okubo's rooms in the East 9th Ward. The letter tells of the attempt to return Sesus Ketek's belongings after he died; Cathak Meata returned everything to sender, and so Yoshimitsu found Ketek's son at the House of Bells sent everything there. It appears a single monk survived the expedition and encountered Yoshimitsu's unit in the south... the monk travelled to Arjuf afterwards. Sorae has asked for further details about the encounter from the Taimyo Council, as well as inquiring briefly with Dragonlord Saigo about Yoshimitsu's fate; the man died at the Battle of Futile Blood.<br>

 '''NOTE:''' READING NAGAT'S PEACH BLOSSOM FAN WAS A TERRIBLE IDEA
 The book appears to have been written in very late Shogunate era Chiaroscuro for the daimyo of that city. He had a cabal of romantic artists who were prolific at the time.

		+	Brother Radiant Coal has been removed from his position at the Academy and sent to [[the Shrine of Dutiful Harvests]] instead. The Shrine is located either in Ostle or somewhere near; that Okubo dropped the name of Ostle in his Will might serve as an clue that he wanted his friends to visit and speak with his former mentor (and by asking his mother to send money to a servant's family in Ostle he all but assured that Meata would refuse to visit the village!).
		+
		+	Shinjo is currently conspiring to find a way to visit the village, possibly with Mnemon Miasa or his brother, in order to investigate if Okubo left anything with Radiant Coal.

	As of this posting, our theories indicate that three-character acronyms are ''places'', integers are ''people'' and decimal-designations are ''expeditions''. ''Year Zero Void'' is likely a treatise to secure funding for a Threshold expedition 10.1. CPF is believed to stand for Citadel of Purifying Flame, which would imply that Shinjo's notes for his play might relate to '18 CPF access on 10.0'.

	+	Sesus Septimus used his authority to requisition gate records that showed Okubo passing through the City gates several days prior to his death. Storage of the City's gate records is handled by Stoic Quail, the elder clerk in charge of them. He peruses the records for the 15th through the 21th of Descending Earth looking for mention of Mnemon Kora and Cathak Okubo, finding only a few mentions:
	+	- Mnemon Kora leaves the City on the 19th of DE, southern City gate
	+	- Kora and Okubo enter the City on the 21st of DE, southern City gate
