Mori Kage Toshi
Mori Kage Toshi, also known as the Forest Shadow City, was a Phoenix Clan city in the Bachiatari province with an ancient curse placed upon it. The Mori Kage Castle was within it.
Fall of Mori Kage Toshi
When the young Dragon bride of Shiba Kojiro, Agasha Yuriko, took her own life in 782 because of his unloving and callous nature, her mother, the Oracle of Air, cast a powerful curse upon his castle. Soon the vines and trees reached out and reclaimed the castle, rendering it useless. The Phoenix were forced to abandon the castle completely as no dispelling seemed to work. The castle laid vacant, home only to a restless ghost wandering the halls.
Shadows
The Lying Darkness had heard the Agasha’s call and granted her wish, consuming Yuhiko and binding her to the castle at the same time. Since then, the abandoned city has become a focus point for malign supernatural activity. The city also contained a flickering “hole” to the Spirit Realm of Toshigoku, and often those who died in or near the location were damned to spend eternity among the Legacy of the Forge. Shiro Mori Kage had long since lost its glory as the most opulent stronghold of the Phoenix.
