Aizu Castle was once a flourishing town and its leader Aizu Daichi was once a powerful leader. During the war with Hoshi Yuzuki the town was torn apart, it was always full of gang members but when their forces were nearly depleted there was rioting and slaughter. Eventually the castle was partially burned to the ground. The city today is full of crime and almost slumb like housing distracts. Brothels and Gambling dens cover the city and there's always fighting going on. The castle is the hang out for The Rokurou which is a feared gang in this city. It consist of six leaders and than their underlings. They run most of the gambling dens and brothels but have nothing close to an army.

It was said that their old teacher and founder Chinatsu Cho was the only one to master this style of swordsman ship like no other adding his own twists to it. The school is not large nor small, it is surrounded by several Sakura trees that they keep plentiful and beautiful.

These once beautiful fields now lay covered in arrows, spears and katanas. The landscape is almost dyed red of blood from fallen lords and their servants. This is where the battle was fought that ended the great war of the Atsuko clan was a battled out and Lord Atsuko committed mass genocide of his own clan. Some look upon this field and cry, other look upon it in disgust this unholy place will forever be tainted with blood.

These Mountains are home and safe haven to the Yamabushi. Yamabushi are are Japanese mountain ascetic hermits with a long tradition as mighty warriors endowed with supernatural powers. These mountain men protect these hills and although there numbers seem small they are spread out through many mountains. This is where their leader and founder lies resting in his old age. The mountains have a many forests and snow covering them. Also many caves are hidden between paths and on cliffs. It truly is a sight to see and an adventure to endure.
