This Threefold World

Overview

A Tale of Tsushima in Kamiagata, norio tale 9 of 9 — part of a warrior monk arming the temples once prayer proves insufficient.

This Threefold World belongs to Norio’s questline: a warrior monk arming the temples once prayer proves insufficient. It is norio tale 9 of 9, set in Kamiagata.

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: A monk at Cedar Temple says Norio has taken his brother’s ashes to a cemetery nearby. Jin goes to talk him into coming back and leading.

This is tale 9 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.
