Towabara Plains (toh-wah-BAH-rah;[1] Japanese:
Description
The plains northeast of the castle cover more than ten thousand acres and are bordered by the Takenuma swamp and Jukai forest.[2] Towabara lies at the center of Kamigawa. Within the Towabara was the Araba, the "ruined land", a blasted place filled with craters from kami attacks. Eiganjo Castle was in the center of the Araba. It was the fortification of daimyo Takeshi Konda and his samurai. The humans of Towabara ride gigantic trained moths into combat.[3]
History
During the Kami War, the castle was assaulted by O-Kagachi and badly damaged. Towabara was guarded by Yosei, the Morning Star.
More than 1200 years later Eiganjo remains the Imperial political center as well as the location of the shrine of Kyodai and the residence of the Emperor. Old architecture is incorporated into new designs, thus a sense of balance between the new and the old is maintained. Pilgrims frequently visit to seek an audience with the Emperor.[4]
