Yoshino

==Overview==
Yoshino was the capital and largest city of the Kisayan country of Horishi. Formerly Imperial City, under the Horishi Empire, the city was the birthplace of the Kyoma Dynasty that came to conquer mainland Kisaya. Housing the Imperial Palace where the House of Kyoma governed for their millennium of rule, the city grew massively in size and population during the empire's expansion. Located in Riraku's Bay, with access to the Hundred Island Sea, it became a central hub for trade between Kisayan nations and the wider known world. In time it became the largest city in Kisaya and, at the empire's peak, the largest and most affluent in the world.
As the Horishi Empire crumbled and fell, the Imperial City, now the humble Yoshino, continued to sustain itself though would never thrive as it once did. During Yavshen's conquest of Kisaya and after terrible hardship under Dao Duleng's subjugation of Horishi, a massive tragedy befell Yoshino. A great fire ravaged the city and massive and significant portions of the city were destroyed. Once the prosperous center of the world, the city was reduced to near complete ruin. With no possible way to repair the damages, the capital was subsequently moved to the nearby city of Uda not far south of Yoshino.
