Hoshijou's Geographical Features

Hoshijou is a fairly diverse land profiting from its lowland position between the Airgai Hills and Onsel Hills. 
==Airgai Hills==
These hills contain the nation’s greatest source of iron, gems and other metals in the country.  Troubles in the temperate hills vary from small to large depending on fortunes of the year.  In most cases, they are reasonably safe and well monitored by the respective daimyos in charge.
==Choujou Grove==
The trees of the Choujou are the only major source of native lumber available in Hoshijou and the amount of lumber per year that is allowed to be taken from it is carefully governed.  The grove is considered blessed and failure to properly compensate for any harvesting can be punishable by death.  Choujou is a peaceful and serene place and is said to be rich with spirits.
==Onsel Hills==
These hills are mostly in control of the nation of Heoden.  The Onsel Hills are rich in deposits but troubles are frequently driven from the north down to the south.
==Totsuyoi River==
The Totsuyoi is a vibrant and rich river and is, in many ways, the lifeblood of the Hoshijou Empire.  The lowlands of the vast valley cuts is extremely fertile.  The river runs clear in most places and is well maintained by direct decree of the Emperor himself.
==Yuusau Lowlands==
The Yuusau is one of the most fertile places in Kanatral.  The crops and animals bred here are some of the best around and it is the lowlands that contributes the most to Hoshijou’s success.
