There are no hidden doors to be found, but Doro's correspondence is openly on display in his quarters. Most of the letters are from farmers variably asking for more time on their rent or thanking him for the well wishes about their sick oxen or similar things. By all accounts, Doro is a caring and capable ruler.

On his writing desk, there is a letter from Empress Nama, dated the day previous. She expresses worry about the situation in the Flowerlands and informs him that she sent Empress Youmi a personal note along with her message about not proclaiming war, and hopes to receive an answer soon.

There is also a half-written response from Doro, in which he assures his cousin he will stand behind her if the Land of Celestial Mountains are attacked, although he urges her not to let her advisors pressure her; fighting would mean that the Flowerlands will suffer the most, and she is strong enough to make decisions without them. He also thanks her for her concern, but knows that if she were to send Mountain Clan samurai, it would only worsen the situation. (As for her correspondence with Youmi, he has heard that she's as kind as she is beautiful, so surely she'll answer soon!)

There are also weapons in the castle, meant primarily for use by guards: the majority are polearms, but there are a few swords mounted on the walls.
