The Dragon embassy is hosted on a repurposed luxury yacht called Without Within that usually can be found berthing at one of the many guest docks scattered across the artificial islands. However, much to the dismay of pretty much everyone not the Dragon Ambassador, Without Within seems to move from island to island without much rhyme or reason, meaning that both the Dragon dignitaries staying on board and diplomats paying a visit have to figure out where the embassy actually is before heading there. Originally gifted to the Dragon clan by an affluent Mirumoto merchant patron upset with his next of kin, the Without Within has been converted into something of a floating temple-office. With most of the expensive and gaudy furniture stripped from the ship, the once luxurious vessel can easily be described as threadbare. The intricate mosaics detailing the life and deeds of Togashi-kami decorating the walls of the yacht remain however, making a walk across the ship something akin to a history lesson.

Many of the once opulent cabins have been repurposed to serve as simple domiciles with two or three futons covering the hard floor. Old pillows sewn from recycled cloth lay scattered around the futons, but anyone wishing for a table or computer terminal will have to venture into the mess hall serving as the common room. The former mess hall is almost as ascetic as the rooms, hosting half a dozen low tables surrounded by the same pillows that can be found in the cabins. Several computer terminals sit on a long table against the starboard wall, allowing the Dragon diplomats and merchant patrons to stay in touch with their home worlds. While a persistent samurai might be able to find a servant on the vessel, most of the embassy staff are sailors and thus anyone wishing a nice pot of tea is better served by brewing the draught by themselves using the small stove found in the common room.
