	'''Kajikimen''' (鹿食免) aka "Permission to eat deer" was a talisman issued by Suwa Shrine in Nagano, mostly for people living in the mountains where it was hard to grow crops and they had to rely on hunting for extra nourishment. This continued into the Edo period where eating meat was forbidden. Here I use the term as a name for "Kajiki-men", (non-historical) rangers whose profession was hunting deer and other game.

	'''What is Wilderness?''' Anything not cultured or built on by an organized group of intelligent creatures and is without roads. A few hunting lodges, couple of huts of reclusive monks or hermits, and some pathways don't change this. If an area has been abandoned, it becomes wilderness again in a few years.
