Shiroe bought out the rest of the Yamato server (sans privately owned zones) and gave it back to the Kunie so that nobody could abuse purchasing power, since owning a location allows the owner to set who could enter/exit. Interestingly enough, although the Kunie seem to manage all the gold (and perhaps land) in the Yamato server, they seem primarily Eastal-based and do not look fondly on Westelande. There's apparently a Westelande counterpart to the Kunie, but I'm not terribly sure what they do, if the Kunie control all of Yamato's gold.

The part about the ghosts was in volume 7, before Indicus goes to the Ten Seat meeting in chapter 1. It wasn't in the anime because they skipped most of Nureha's monologue/inner thoughts before Indicus interrupted.

Don't worry about tangents. I can be slow at replying because a) I get distracted, b) I'm looking stuff up, c) I keep on rewriting what I'm responding, or d) all of the above. (Answer's usually D.)
