After leaving the Branch Family's territory, Yu was held hostage by Urashiki and brought into Awaki Plain, the Main Family's domain. This was the territory of the Post-Original Main Family. Three hundred members of the Post-Original Main Family shared this vast land; with so much land and so few people, it was usually quite deserted.
