The Valley of the Centipede was named for the centipede insects that infested the rocky ground. Way of the Shugenja, p. 48
== Location ==
It was a secluded valley that occupied a small stretch of land between Kiken Roka and Umi Yakamo. Legend of the Five Rings; Third Edition, p. 294 It was surrounded by the mountains in three sides, while the fourth was open to the sea, with sharp cliffs dropping off. A series of rope pulleys were used by their fishermen and for the occasional sailors who came to visit. Way of the Minor Clans, pp. 73-74 It was crossed by a river called the Course of Lady Sun. The Atlas of Rokugan, p. 113 At the northern end of the valley sat the Mountain of the Sun Goddess. The available land was lush and fertile with plentiful rainfall, always able to feed its inhabitants. Since the Centipede joined the Mantis Clan they built Amaterasu's Climb, a path from the upper mountain plateau down to the seaside. Secrets of the Mantis, p. 35
== Centipede Clan ==
It was the home of the matriarchal Moshi family who studied their strange blend of magic. There were many shrines to Amaterasu still standing in the valley, despite her death. A small, distant branch of the Isawa family removed itself from the Phoenix lands and settled there. 
== Guardians ==
Their allies of the Falcon Clan guarded the valley, and in return their female shugenja were trained in the Moshi Shugenja school. Way of the Minor Clans, p. 83 The mountain trails were also guarded by ronin who received food, shelter, and limited respect for their services. When the Centipede joined the Mantis, these ronin were accepted into the family. 
== Yakamo's Worship ==
After the ascension of Yakamo as Lord Sun, it was built Yakamo Seido in the Goraiku lands near the western pass out of the Valley of the Centipede. Secrets of the Mantis, p. 45
