       The Plains of Thunder Setting Information

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The Plain of Thunder was dedicated to the Fortune of Fire and
       Thunder, Osano-Wo.
       Miya Territory
       The plain was located between Unicorn and Scorpion lands,
       bordering the great Shinomen Forest that marked the western
       border of the Empire. The Miya family took upon themselves the
       maintenance and care of the Plain. The Kakita staged an honor
       guard that patroled the sacred grounds, and a contingent of
       Asahina Shugenja ensured the grounds' purity and sanctity.
       Temple of Osano-Wo
       The first Temple of Osano-Wo was built in these plains by a
       retired Crab. Four shrines to Osano-Wo marked the plain's four
       corners, each depicting Osano-Wo in a different aspect -
       vengeful, protective, meditative, and watchful. These four
       statues formed a rough and uneven rectangle. The militant monks
       who care for these statues and shrines often live at these
       locales.
       Peaceful place
       By edict and custom, no armies trod upon this region and no one
       dared to tame the land with rice and other crops. No one would
       dare draw Osano-Wo's ire by showing disrespect to his will. If
       the territory was invaded, the militant sohei of the temple the
       plain was dedicated to retaliated immediately and brutally,
       moving against whoever would break the peace of the Plain
