Part 3 of 16 in Tales of Iki
Found in
- Fort SakaiFort Sakai is the stronghold Jin's father Kazumasa built on Iki Island, now the Eagle Tribe's main base. It is a story-driven Mongol Territory that you deal with in The Eagle's Cry and The Lightning in the Storm.
- Fune's RefugeFune's Refuge is a raider hideout on Iki Island run by Fune. You can only get in after the Tale of Iki A Raider's Return, when Tenzo brings Jin there.

Good to know
- Iki main story, tale 6 of 9. It follows Jin From Yarikawa.
- It starts at Fune's Refuge on Iki Island.
- The Eagle has already left Fort Sakai, but the raiders still need to take it back.
- Your target at the fort is Khunbish.
- The next tale is Massacre at Kidafure Village.
What you do
Talk to Fune at her refuge, then travel to Fort Sakai with the raiders. Fight the Mongols outside, free the raiders held near the camp, then take on Khunbish and finish him off.
Why it matters
Fort Sakai is the Sakai clan's old stronghold and was meant to be Jin's first stop on Iki. Taking it back is a big step toward pushing the Eagle Tribe off the island.
Objectives
Speak with Fune. Travel to Fort Sakai and defeat the Mongols. Free the raiders held outside the camp. Defeat Khunbish, then kill him to finish the tale.
- The Eagle's ChosenThe Eagle's Chosen is a dye for Ronin Attire. It waits in a chest inside Fort Sakai on Iki Island once you finish "The Lightning in the Storm". Like every dye it only changes colours.
- Tribal TerrorTribal Terror is a mask you get by finishing "The Lightning in the Storm", from Tales of Iki. It is a story reward, so playing the tale is the only way to add it.
