Shinka

Shinka (SHIN-kah; ) is a location in the Sokenzan mountains.
==Description==
There is a discrepancy between Shinka's portrayal on the cards and in the books.
===Books===
In the books, Shinka was a cave-dwelling of the o-bakemono Hidetsugu, where the ogre shaman lived, performed his rituals, worshipped his master, and trained his apprentices. In front of the cave, the ogre placed rows of heads on spikes, a warning sign for the people wanting to disrupt his business.
===Cards===
On the cards, Shinka Keep is a skull-lined citadel high in the mountains.(2004). Champions of Kamigawa Player's Guide. Wizards of the Coast. The ogres built Shinka a thousand years before the Kami War as a monument to the malevolent oni they worshipped. Local sanzoku (mountain bandits) claimed that its mortar was made from the ground bones of the ogres’ victims. Within Shinka’s fire-lit corridors, the ogre mages practice blood magic to summon the demons of the spirit world.
