Dokugumo Mura

Dokugumo Mura was an unremarkable village which laid at the foothills of the Spine of the World Mountains. It was surrounded by swamps densely populated with insects, and thus attracted a particularly venomous species of red spider. The spiders crawled all over virtually everything in the village, and the peasants captured and extracted venom from them. Though their poison was deadly, the villagers did not fear them, because the spiders' jaws were too weak to bite human beings. The spider venom was turned over to the Yogo to be used in the Yogo's bizarre alchemical experiments, and for far more nefarious purposes. Unknown to the Rokugani, Deep in the foothills and rocks surrounding the village nestled a sinister race of shape-shifting spiders, the kumo. Secrets of the Scorpion, p. 68
