Kamizan
Kamizan
is literally “God Mountain”. A large temple to the kami resides here, and the
mountain is considered holy throughout the entire island. The kami of the mountain is named Orizen, and
he is worshipped along with the other kami at the temple located here.
Most
people of the Empire go on a pilgrimage to Kamizan at least once in their life.
A steep stairway goes up near the top of the mountain, from which a grand vista
of the area can be seen.
The
priests keep the area in good repair. Services are held daily, and many monks
train here in both religious and martial skills. The Temple is very well
defended, as most of the monks double as soldiers.
It is
said that the oni would dearly love to desecrate the temple and kill all of the
people here, but it seems that none of their underground tunnels connect to the
area.
It is
said that if anyone is foolish enough to attack the temple, that Orizen himself
may shake the earth and swallow up their army.
