Kyuden Chirei



A simple palace, more akin to the Sparrow holding s than other Great Clan estates.

History
Thirteen years ago, massive volcanic activity displaced thousands of Dragon peasants into the Dragon Heart Plains. Phoenix reply?

They declared war. What a bunch of dicks. This was the Dragon-Phoenix War. It ended when everyone discovered that the Dark Oracle of Fire manipulated them into war. Oops.

During the after-war, powerful Phoenix and Dragon earth shugenjas communed with the powerful earth kami of the Dragon Heart Plain. They build a large complex of buildings and underground tunnels, housing the refugees. Eventually, it was abandoned. Most of the people returned to their lands, some settled in nearby villages. No samurai wanted to settle on the place that some jokily called Kyuden Chirei. Since almost a decade, only those shugenja wishing to commune with the earth kami would travel there.
