Yamasura

Yamasura (D6) in the Sabishii province, Secrets of the Dragon, p. 96 was the sister city of Heibeisu, and the location for most of the Dragon Clan's trade with the western Empire, including the Unicorn and Lion Clan. The widely spaced city sat on a flat plain among the high mountains. Since the War of the Rich Frog the city had seen a noticeable decrease in trade. Legend of the Five Rings; Third Edition, p. 290

== History ==
=== Magistrate Center ===
Yamasura was the gathering place of many of the Emerald Magistrates after the death of the Emerald Champion Doji Satsume in 1123. Local bandits learned to give the city a wide berth, and although the magistrates moved on some time ago the city was relatively safe. The magistrates had been led to the mountain city by Seppun Shiriko, making Yamasura a makeshift base of operations for a slowly growing group of like-minded magistrates through the Clan War until they eventually rallied under the banner of Toturi. 
=== Blood Hunt ===
In 1166 several murders happened, as part of a bloodspeaker action during the Blood Hunt. Blood Hunt (Region 22 - Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada)
=== War of Dark Fire ===
In 1171 the city was attacked, but the Lion and Crab forces, aided by Scorpion ambushers defeated them. Yasamura sustained significant losses but it did not fall. The War of Dark Fire, Part 11, by Shawn Carman and Nancy Sauer
