The Castle of the Faithful Bride (P5) in the Garanto province Game Master's Guide; 2nd Ed, p. 38 and Secrets of the Phoenix, p. 96 was built by Akodo Godaigo, the former lover of Matsu Hitomi, Time of the Void, pp. 19-20 after her death. The first stone was laid on the anniversary of her death, in 442, and the Castle was completed eighteen years later, which happened to be her age when she died. The samurai lord who loved her never married, and his line ended with his death. Since her return through Oblivion's Gate Hitomi refused to visit the castle built in her honor.

== War of Dark Fire ==
In 1171, during the War of Dark Fire, the Army of Fire stormed the fortifications of the castle, decimated the defenders in a rapid attack and moved ahead toward Kyuden Isawa. War of Dark Fire, Part V, by Shawn Carman
