== History ==
=== Ruins ===
One fourth of the city plummetted from the heights during an earthquake, being the city walls compromised. After the Fall of the Kami, during the Great Sleep, exiled humans who did not wish to join the Great Clans discovered Kalpa. Mistakenly believing that the Naga were somehow connected to the Kami that now dominated the countryside, these humans slaughtered the remaining Naga and took the city for themselves. The restless spirits of Naga dead haunted the dreams of their killers, and after one season none but the dead remained in Kalpa. 
=== Portal to Toshigoku ===
The maddened humans' deaths caused a passage to Toshigoku to open in the city's heart, severing the city from the Akasha. The spirits of those Naga who died there were trapped within the haunted walls, alongside with the tormented humans. 
=== Kolat ===
The city's existence was known by the Kolat, who had followed rumors of fellow survivors from the Kami's exile. The pass leading to Kalpa was collapsed after several kolat were slaughtered. The haunted city was marked on maps hidden deep within the Kolat's Hidden Temple. 
=== Hida Yakamo ===
In 1132 the naga marched to Kalpa. The Shashakar sacrificed his life to the Child of the Pale, using the greatest Black Pearl in a magic ritual that merged his mind with Hida Yakamo and restored the Crab Clan Champion to life. Clan Letter to the Naga #11 (Imperial Herald v3 #3)
