Kyuden Tonbo
In the Shinpi province also known as the Dragonfly Clan Palace, was the home of the Dragonfly Clan. Kyuden Tonbo sat in a shallow valley at the foothills of the Great Climb, a sort of gateway to the Dragon Mountains. A tiered pagoda-topped tower in its center housed the Dragonfly daimyo and his family. Keishi Meiyo no Tani was located to the east. The castle was not formidable, but was protected by enchanted walls and the Dragonfly’s cousins, the Dragon and Phoenix. It was more of a compound of buildings than a true castle, and the title of ‘Kyuden’ had never been tested. The rooms meant for visitors were well decorated, but the rooms that the Tonbo reserved for their own use were humble and basic. The city around Kyuden Tonbo held a thriving center of commerce. In the early-12th century (prior to 1123), a small Shrine to Thunder was being constructed outside the town.
