-Chuuou Province
-Toshi Aitete / Sekkai Yurri
-This settlement, the only large town in Chuuou Province, is located on a hillside two day’s ride southeast of Kyuden Bayushi, about midway between that castle and the border town of Shimomura. For most of its history it is known as Sekkai Yurri, the City of Limes and Lilies, and is home to a large and prosperous silver mine – the only major silver mine in Scorpion lands. As a result, it is notorious as a pit of corruption, inhabited by miners and gamblers, plagued by crime and violence, and generally avoided by outsiders.
-The city’s fate and name change in the early twelfth century when the miners hit an underground river. The resulting flood not only completely drowns the mine but also ruins half the town. In response, the provincial Governor – a man named Bayushi Zenasaru – decides to change the town’s purpose. Renaming it Toshi Aitate, the City of the Open Hand, he re-opens the many teahouses and gambling dens – but now they are run by Scorpion magistrates. The city becomes a place where samurai (and the occasional wealthy commoner) from all across Rokugan can indulge their vices safely, under the protection of Scorpion law enforcement, and with the profits going into Scorpion coffers. The city gates are kept closed during the day; each evening they open to admit visitors, and every visitor purchases a mask to wear while in the city – everyone here, even commoners and eta, wears a mask to ensure anonymity. The road that passes through the city is renamed the Street of the Fortune’s Smile within the walls, and along its length are all the town’s business establishments – gambling dens, tea houses, geisha houses, and so forth. The city is also home to a major temple to Daikoku.
-During the Clan War era, Toshi Aitate is razed by the Imperial Legions, but is quickly rebuilt afterward. Indeed, outsiders note (with a mixture of scorn and amusement) that the Scorpion rebuild Toshi Aitate more swiftly than many of their more prominent clan holdings.
