Overview
A Tale of Tsushima in Toyotama, norio tale 7 of 9 — part of a warrior monk arming the temples once prayer proves insufficient.
The End of Suffering belongs to Norio’s questline: a warrior monk arming the temples once prayer proves insufficient. It is norio tale 7 of 9, set in Toyotama.
The ally questlines are the game’s best writing and they run in order, so this tale assumes the ones before it. Norio’s arc rewards being followed as a sequence rather than picked at.
In the game’s own framing: The Mongols are coming for Kushi Temple. Jin takes the monks outside the grounds; Norio insists on defending the temple itself.
This is tale 7 of 9 in Norio’s arc. The ally questlines run in order and assume the ones before them, so they reward being followed as a sequence rather than picked at.
