L5 The Town of Tsuma

Back to L5R main page:
* The Town
** The Poisoned Water Sake House (A Scorpion holding)
*** A disreputable drinking house that sells cheap Shoju (the rice-wine equivalent of vodka)
** The Merchant House of the Exotic (A Unicorn holding)
*** A merchant outpost that sells gaijin novelties like glass, pottery and metalwork not otherwise found in Rokugan. Sadly they do not trade in anything of a martial nature.
* The Governors Mansion
** A walled estate with modest but elegant archtecture. 
* The Temple of Amaterasu the Sun Goddess.
** With seven red Tori gates on the path approaching the temple, it stands seven storeys tall. It is crowned by a silver sphere that reflects the sunlight and symbolises the divine Sun and mother of Hantei, the first divine Emperor of Rokugan. 
* The Imperial Barge
** With a hundred oars, its ram, catapults and other weapons of war, it towers over all but the Temple of Amaterasu. Its sails are emerald green with a purple chrysanthemum emblem upon them. It clearly contains large opulent apartments and it is likely only due to the actions of shugenja coaxing the water Kami that it can move through a river at all. Its mast is topped by a staff with a crystal sphere at the top. 
* The Kakita Bushi One-Truth Dojo
** The Sanctum - The large three storey building is the heart of the Dojo and contains the rooms of the Kakita masters (Top floor), the shrine and two large halls (On the ground and middle floors) for entertaining guests and for personal tuition. The middle floor has walls that can be removed on any side (it's held up by sturdy wooden pillars for support) allowing guests to spectate on activities in the courtyard or on the open ground behind the dojo. 
** Riverside hall - This long narrow one-storey hall is the one nearest to the river with windows that look over the river. The hall has been cleared out and split in to 8 sub-divisions by paper screens. Each section has two sets of bedding, a water jug with cups and a weapon stand by each bed to hold your ceremonial bokken.
** Riceward hall - This long narrow one-storey hall is the one furthest from the river and closer to the large rice paddies to the North. . 
** The main courtyard
*** A large rectangular area filled with fine yellow sand. 
** The back row 
*** Behind the Sanctum on the outside wall of the Dojo, the back row contains the servants quarters, kitchens and other ancillary functions. 
* Megumi's House
