Imperial Mound (TCG)

The Imperial Mound was an artificial plateau within the Forbidden City. The Imperial Palace sat there, sharing the place with two smaller buildings that were managed by the Otomo and Seppun. Access to the mound was via several ramps, and the most prominent led directly to the front gate of the palace, passing beneath a series of huge torii arches and connected to the Road of the Most High. The torii arches were protected by Scorpion wards, and anyone who ascended the steps without an Imperial invitation who was not of Hantei blood became hopelessly lost, unable to reach the palace.
