Fuurin

Fuurin is a region on the coast of the Persidian Sea - an exclave of the Kaiganese fiefdom of Kitabatake. It borders the fiefdom of Hojo to the north, and Moryouka to the east and south.
== History ==
Historically Fuurin has been the realm of the fairly liberal Takafuwa clan - in recent years, the rise of the warrior kingdom of Igashikuze has made the Takafuwa uneasy, though it was only in the last twenty years that the Takafuwa pledged allegiance to Kitabatake for protection during the Diet of Kazenida.
Initially, during the negotiations in the treaty the Kitabatake suggested the Takafuwa be absorbed into the Kitabatake client state of Hojo. This deal was unacceptable to the head of the clan Takafuwa Ryozuro - he would lose face by indirect vassalage. Ryozuro delivered an ultimatum, demanding to become part of Kitabatake proper, but with a large degree of freedom. As expected, the Kitabatake negotiated away the degree of freedom, leaving Ryozuro with the deal he had desired in the first place.
== Geography ==
Fuurin is a flat plain sandwiched between two rivers - the Fuwa and Arakawa. Towards the northeast corner of the region the land rises into a range of low, rolling hills that carry on to form the western end of the Zapardian Mountains.
The region is fairly cold, with summers averaging 10-15 degrees Celsius; winters are frequently sub-zero. Category:Regions
