Satsuma-Tokyo Reconciliation Conference - When the remnants of the Samurai Satsuma Domain were discovered during the course of Agarthan colonisation, a strange nerve was struck in Japanese society. Many recalled the days before the Emperor took supreme power and began the process of modernization. Even the few sufficiently educated and even fewer in positions of power could answer the question as to what would be done with this effective exarchate situated down below. There remained little communication between the Home Islands and the Satsuma, until an expedition, led by the Lieutenant General Jutoku Saigo, nephew of the Satsuman Shogun Saigo Takamori, was dispatched to resolve the conundrum. The General’s orders from the Emperor were short and sweet, as the tea times afforded with the Emperor did not permit a grand debriefing. ‘Get it under control.’ Four words that now would determine the fate of the last Samurai. By the summer of 1879, a kind of accord had been reached. It became clear that, rather than just preserving a great deal of Samurai in this subterranean stasis, almost the entirely late-feudal Japanese society had survived, and built a sizable domain on the shores of the Neo-Tethys. Despite several weeks of argumentation and prevarication from both parties, even this new Shogun was compelled to respect the authority of the divine Emperor. It was under this basis that the ‘Two Nations, One Sovereign’ principle would be adopted. The Satsuma Domains, extensive as they are, and defended zealously by the last remaining samurai, may maintain a nominal independence, but swear fealty directly to the Emperor Meiji. Furthermore, the Satsuma would be economically tied to the Japanese on the surface through the adoption of a single currency, and would be required to defend and aid citizens of the Japanese Empire traversing Agartha, if attacked.
