Pillars of Honor
Pillars of Honor are memorial shrines raised by Tsushima's first jito for samurai who died bringing peace to the island. Each one holds a sword kit that changes how Jin's katana and tanto look.

How they work
Find the stone pillar, interact with it and the sword kit goes into your gear. A dead samurai often lies in front of it, sometimes among dead Mongols. You can bow to him and Jin pays his respects.

- Iki IslandIki Island is the separate island southeast of Tsushima where the Iki Island expansion takes place. The Eagle Tribe under Ankhsar Khatun has taken it over, and Jin must face both the Mongols and his father's history there.
- IzuharaIzuhara is the southern region of Tsushima and the first one you explore in Act 1. It is where you rescue Lord Shimura from Castle Kaneda, meet most of your allies and learn the stealth tools that turn Jin into the Ghost.
KamiagataKamiagata is the snowy northern region of Tsushima and the setting for Act 3. It is thinly settled and harsh, and it is where you chase Khotun Khan to his final stronghold at Port Izumi.- ToyotamaToyotama is the central region of Tsushima, between Izuhara and Kamiagata. Act 2 plays out here: you rally allies, liberate Yarikawa and march on Castle Shimura, while side tales for Norio, Yuna and Yuriko open up.
