Namano

BACKGROUND

The city was founded roughly 200 years ago, mostly built upon an old, often ravaged by the 'barbarians', yet still fortified village. It is yet unknown if such decision was more related to the former emperor's vanity…or other reason as back then the Empire contacted the outsiders in a very reluctant manner.

ARCHITECTURE

The city is a vibrant mosaic of each inhabiting clan's style, those accents are especially prominent in the clan enclaves. Relatively recently (~10 years ago) when the city expanded one part was turned into a 'Western District' where the 'gainjin' traders and similar would conduct their businesses. An intricate web of channels allows the city to send the goods further mostly with the use of barges, deeper into Rokugan.

GOVERNMENT

The location is governed by a council of 10 high-ranked imperial advisors with a governor directly chosen by the Emperor himself.
Clan-specific influence is vaguely present.

COMMERCE

Trade with the 'westerners' makes up for the majority of the city's income. Fines, customs and taxation brings profits that are beyond scope of less lively locations of the empire. Recently with the Vorloi's re-formation of their mercenary army many ronins (and higher ranked ones) used the city as a mid-point between Rokugan and Dragonport

PERSONA

The population is not as xenophobic when it comes to the Westerners as most of the Rokuganian population, still one has to be especially careful while dealing with the noble caste as the laws highly favour the locals, should any sort of conflict occur.

POPULATION

The city boasts an impressive population of roughly 100 thousand people mostly of the human ancestry with around ~10% being descended from spirits (also known as 'Spirit-folk').

TEMPLES
