Marai Prefecture

Marai Prefecture, sometimes written as Malai Prefecture, is a prefecture of the General-Govornate of Indochugoku and is a Special Trade Region of Ninjago. It was first established as the Malai Overseas Territory after Ninjago ended a dispute with Lizard Kingdom. Later it was reorganized under the rule of Indochugoku, with a special status for its heavy contact with the outside world. It grants Ninjago access to the Strait of Malacca, where a large amount of goods are shipped between the west and east as well as having a close proximity to the main region of Lizard Kingdom.
The capital of Marai Prefecture is Shōnantō (昭南島), designated as one of Ninjago's most important cities as it directly borders Lizard Kingdom and the Strait of Singapore and Malacca.
== History ==
During ShitCraft IV, Ninjago invaded and conquered a part of the current Marai territory, which was administred under the Ninjago South Indies, or Minami Indo.
== Syonan Jinja ==
Syonan Jinja ("Light of the Southern Shrine") is one of many of Ninjago's Way of the Ninja Torii gate's, and was first erected in ShitCraft IV between today's heartland of Lizard Kingdom and Marai. It was built as a sign of Ninjago's authority over the Strait of Malacca. In ShitCraft V, Lizard Kingdom by legal LON law took the Syonan Jinja as it was part of the surrounding isles of the Lizard Kingdom's main territory. However, after the results of the Ninja-Lizardasian war, Ninjago added these isles to the city of Shōnantō and the Marai Overseas Territory.
On 17 September 2021, Ninjago also added a Syonan Jinja building parallel to the Torii gate.
