House of the Sun

Situated at the base of a dormant volcano is a picturesque Estate. It is guarded by high walls and a large gate, guards frequently patrolling the area. Vast gardens that are well cultivated branch out on either side of the main house. Lush Sakura and Plum trees grow on the property, offering shade as well as beauty. The smallest of the gardens is at the back of the palace where most of the medicinal herbs are grown. Inside the floors are made of highly polished cherry wood. The screens are carved of maple and painted with mystical creatures or scenes from legends. Many of the rooms have fine linens and rich furnishings. There is also a natural hot spring on site, consisting of three large pools. A large library sits in the eastern wing, filled with stacks upon stacks of books/scrolls. Not far off from the main house lay the barracks and various training rooms. An armory sits off to the right of the main barracks. There is an accomplished armor smith and weapon smith on site as well. In all it's a very elaborate fortress disguised as a lavish estate. No one is sure if the Lady inside is a demon, or a beautiful deity.
