Homare

Homare, or Glory, was the Easter Enchanted Wall of Otosan Uchi, lying along the border of the Kanjo district. The Isawa placed golden kanji on its surface naming every person who died on it, bonding their spirits. When the wall was assaulted the spirits combated the foe. The wall became a religious icon and temples rose on both sides of it. Otosan Uchi:Book 2, p. 22 The wall was pierced by the main gate into the Ekohikei. The Atlas of Rokugan, p. 259
