== Customs ==
One well-known custom performed by the residents each night, just as the sun set, was to light hundreds of huge lanterns and watch-fires around the boundary of the province. The bright fires formed a ring of lights against the darkness. Some claimed Lady Mazoku, the maiden who guided the Falcon Clan founder Yotogi in his beginnings, originated it centuries ago. It was said that it should the Toritaka failed in enacting it, the spirits lurking outside their province would eagerly rush in and devour them all. Another ritual was to leave offerings to appease the spirits outside the valley. Peasants set out morsels of food, small, well-fashioned carvings, and other gifts along the edges of the valley, often near the Shinomen Forest where many angry spirits reside.
