There are reports of a large Mantis fleet gathering at sea, though accounts vary as to their likely destination.

What'll we do with a drunken sailor, What'll we do with a drunken sailor, What'll we do with a drunken sailor, Earl-aye in the morning?
Shave his belly with a rusty tanto, Put him in the long boat till he's sober Put him in the scuppers with a hawse pipe on him. Put him in bed with the Kana's daughter.
Weigh heigh and up she rises Weigh heigh and up she rises Weigh heigh and up she rises Earl-aye in the morning

Good, Mantis is in the game too now.
To all captains: Attacking Phoenix lands is unwise since Phoenix forces haven't left their strongholds yet and can do a lot damage to landing forces and make pillaging impossible. Attacking the Hubs is unwise since there are some Unicorn (allied) and Tsi (neutral) holdings too. We should also expect rugged defense in this area since this is very close to Imperial holdings. The best option for Allied Forces is landing in the south. Crane forces are engaged in the battle at Toshi Ranbo, Crab brethrens are marching from the southwest so any landing must be successful and pillaging will be very easy. And since Crane is considered one of the wealthiest clans in the Empire spoils should be huge. Join in voting on Southern possibility, gain easy wealth and glory!

The RP shows a part of the Mantis players as Hantei loyalists and there's no especific action for them to perform yet.

Makes me wish I didnt sink the pirate ships during that story mission. Is there going to be another way to gain Ship or Pirate Captain?

I have heard of some Tsuruchi that sank the ship with magic and now weren't able to perform the action... I admit it has a funny side.

...accounts vary as to their likely destination. I'm not surprised! If they follow the North Wind (which comes from the North) and hope to get to Phoenix lands, they're going to be mightily confused! I can only assume thy have poets for navigators!

Oh, don't worry, our navigators are just fine.
But, to be safe, I have packed the hold with extra food. Just in case.

There were no missions for Toturi loyalist in Dragon lands also. We are going against the official votes of our Clans after all. Still, we can always go to Toshi Ranbo or Permission City and help in the traditional way. You Toturi and me Hantei. I object! I want Hantei jobs at sea! I have my own ship and want to pillage too! *sulks* I want to take down ships of Toturi supporters! ARRR! Yes Kasumi-san, it would be nice. I'm also the captain of a ship, as are some of the Mantis who are siding with Hantei, it would be interesting to bring the conflict to the seas.

A couple quick notes:
- "Gather ships" requires Ship Captain/Pirate Captain but has no particular faction requirement (i.e. Hantei loyalists can do it). - The various "Follow the Wind" actions require Toturi supporter (which the Mantis officially declared for) but don't require Ship captain/Pirate captain, so you can still do them if you sank the ship during that story. - Of course there is some extra synergy if you can do both types of actions. - I thought about making South Wind go to Phoenix and North Wind to Crane, but figured that would just confuse people. Oh well! - I didn't put a pro-Hantei Mantis action since the Mantis officially declared for Toturi. Though I was very tempted to add a "Screw this, let's go pillage the Thrane!" action that would be irrelevant to the war entirely.

After pillaging Thrane, they would come back with the booty and still want to pillage whoever was left weakened by the civil war.
