Description

[Volsung]

The streets of Lanka are packed full of people. Any home or anything that could be turned into a home has already been filled. Refuse litters the streets and signs of wear show on every street from the constant bustle of more people than the city was meant to handle. Anyone walking the streets will see families of desperate people, some of whom wear what used to be fine clothing, sitting on street corners, huddled up together. Fear pervades these streets. The people know what is coming for them, and they know there is no escape.

What stores are left are almost bare of goods, most items of material value have either already been sold or stolen. The police force does what they can to keep crime low and fires contained, but with so many people the task is impossible and there is always the fear that one spark will lead to a mass riot that will tear this city apart before the armies can even get to it.

With so many people crammed into the streets it can be difficult for anyone, let alone a samurai who is used to having people step out of the way for them, to pass through during the noon hours.

The Black Elephant
A wretched hive of scum and villainy. The Black Elephant continues to keep it's doors open and it's supplies filled by virtue of the simple fact that no one dares try to rob them. Many of the seedier elements of the city congregate in this rather large three story building that serves everything from alcohol to hashish to opium and more. There is always music playing, and there are always dancing girls somewhere, even if they've been dragged off to some secluded corner. The world is ending! Why not enjoy your last few days on this realm!

The Jade Sun
A quiet little tea shop that sits a block away from the Rokugani Embassy, the Jade Sun is a tea shop which has proven itself to be very friendly towards the new Rokugani that have found their way to Lanka. The Jade Sun has managed to stay open by virtue of the fact that few people know of it's existence and anyone who has attempted to rob the place has found themselves staring down 20 very irate looking samurai. The Jade Sun comes Kasuga Recommended (™).

Mount Mainaka
This large warehouse is named for the last flying mountain that lives under the sea and is made of gold. Mount Mainaka is an enormous warehouse that serves as an indoor market. What shopkeepers and food merchants that have managed to continue running a business have congregated under the roof of the warehouse. They and their wares are protected by the 100 guards who stand watch and are very picky about who they let inside Mount Mainaka. Mount Mainaka also closes at Early Evening and opens again at Early Morning.

Please note somewhere in your thread whether you are in one of these three locations or wandering the city streets in general.
