Kyodai na Ana

The Great Crater, Kyodai na Ana, Oriental Adventures, p. 230 was created in 1150 by Lord Sun.
== Preamble ==
Before its sudden debut, there was no easy way to cross over the Spine of the World Mountains, due to the destruction of Beiden Pass. The only other way through the mountains was Seikitsu Pass, which had been ruined in 99. Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game, Third Edition, p. 10
== Creation ==
When Lord Yakamo wished the rubble of Seikitsu Pass to be cleared, the Dragon of Fire smote the area with his tail, sending a meteor from the sky, which hit the previously collapsed pass. Secrets of the Unicorn, p. 40 The impact of the fireball melted a gap into the mountains and created the Crater, re-opening Seikitsu Pass. The pass became highly disputed territory between the Lion and Unicorn, but control was eventually claimed by the Unicorn Clan.

=== Heaven's Intervention ===
An aged Togashi Mitsu had witnessed the cataclysm, assuring he had spoken with the Celestial Dragon for two days. The ise zumi's accounts, combined with eyewitness reports of a huge dragon-like figure creating the pass at Lord Sun's direction, became all the testimony the Empire needed to verify that a Celestial Dragon did indeed exist. Before the event, the existence of the Celestial Dragon was not known by Rokugan. Fortunes & Winds, p. 74
