Wasureta Mura

Forgotten Village was located in the Valley of Spirits, between the Shinomen Mori and Twilight Mountains, a long-dead village dwelled by the spirits of Wasureta Mura. Emerald Empire: The Essential Guide to Rokugan, p. 220
== Disappearances ==
Those disappointed by their lot in life, or who did not feel like they belong, heared Wasureta Mura more clearly the deeper they went into the woods of the valley. People who had strong connections with the living, had found contentment in their lot in life, or had strong passions or commitments to uphold had difficulty finding Wasureta Mura. This made it difficult to-rout out the spirits; the determination to eliminate them made it hard to encounter them in the first place. A few well-meaning bushi had attempted to purify the village, but some have not returned, having suffered the ennui that the village thrived on. The others claimed to have seen a ruined village out of the corner of their eye or caught whispers just beyond the edge of hearing. 
== Sacrifices ==
Priests believed that nearby villages might contained salvaged construction from Wasureta Mura, inviting spirits and infecting people with nightmares. The house
owners defended their homes against any purification ritual on their homes with incredible ferocity, claiming that their dead relatives spoke to them. Some misguided villagers sacrificed someone yearly to the Forgotten Village. In most cases, they only sent volunteers, although the social pressure to volunteer was strong. Some villages had torn themselves apart with violence selecting an unwilling volunteer; a few embraced this practice too eagerly.
