- Fort Sakai has three of them and Saruiwa Overlook has two.
What they are
Iki's raiders put these Sakai flags up where the samurai fell during their failed invasion of Iki fifteen years before the expansion. They are old and torn now, and each one marks a spot of that defeat.
Locations, part one
Nakajima Island (on the path to Nakajima Shrine), Smuggler's Run on top of some rocks, a ledge in Cloud Forest, Cloud Forest Temple itself plus a small cliff northeast of it, the south coast of Buddha's Footprints, Saruiwa Overlook (two), north of Lake Nagata, Zasho Bay and Saruiwa.
Locations, part two
Yahata Forest, three at Tatsu's Ladder (a small cliff to the east, a hidden cliffside alcove and a rock at the foot of the falls), Katayama Market, Kemono Trail, three at Barrier Cove (northern tip, a cliffside and the water's edge below the cliffs), Thunderhead Cliffs, Fort Sakai (three), Sly Hunter's Forest, Sentinel's Peak, the top of Lone Spirit Falls, Fune's Refuge and a small cave on the south side of Shattered Cliffs near Gonoura Cape.
Tips
Fort Sakai, Katayama Market and Sentinel's Peak are Mongol-held, so take them while you are there. Several banners sit on cliffs, so look up and down when the Guiding Wind points you to a rock face.
