Treaty with the Crab

Personally, I think it would be a good idea for the Sparrow Clan to make a treaty with the Crab clan.  This treaty will be that the Sparrow clan will have it's youths as part of it's Gempukku ceremony defend the Kaiu wall for a year.  They can then learn lessons in defense of the Kaiu wall.  After which they would be considered adults.  They would get there swords before they left, then upon there return would be given a party in there honor.

Also I would like to raise up a unit to be stationed to guard the Kaiu wall permantly.  This unit would be made up of those who have lost their honor unjustly.  They would regain their honor by joining this unit and guarding the Kaiu wall.  

There are several reasons why this would be a good idea.  The first is to that the Lands of the Sparrow are not very fertile.  Therefore the land can't support a large population at present.  By helping to defend the Kaiu wall, it will also put less strain on the land.  Secondly, it will increase the Sparrow clan's recognition.  Thirdly, it will let the young people experience life outside of the Sparrow's Lands.
