DOMINION CAMPAIGN

Kizukura, the heart of the Empire, stands as a testament to power, culture, and tradition. spread across a lush valley surrounded by rolling hills, it is a sprawling capital city where the pulse of the empire beats strongest. At its core rises the Imperial Palace, a breathtaking structure of towering pagodas and sweeping tiled roofs, visible from every corner of the city. This opulent stronghold is both the seat of the Emperor and a symbol of the Empire’s unity and strength.

The city's streets are a labyrinth of life, where aristocrats, craftsmen, and merchants mingle. The central districts are home to bustling markets and tea houses, places where deals are struck, alliances are forged, and the empire's elite gather. Streets hum with the rhythmic hammering of artisans in their workshops, producing goods of unmatched quality that fuel both domestic and foreign trade. The fishmongers of Kizukura are renowned for their fresh wares, brought daily from the empire's vast rivers and seas.

Despite its grandeur, Kizukura is not without its challenges. The city's strategic importance makes it a target for intrigue, and skirmishers patrol its fortified outer walls to deter bandits and spies. Beyond the walls, the mysterious snake witches, exiled from courtly life, linger in the outskirts, their influence stirring whispers among the superstitious. Yet, the city’s defenses remain strong, fortified by the Emperor's elite guards and the loyalty of its people.

Kizukura is also a cultural jewel. The Emperor’s vision for the city has fostered a vibrant artistic community, with craftsmen and performers celebrated as much as warriors and scholars. The city's courtyards and gardens offer moments of tranquility amidst the bustling energy of its streets, reflecting the Empire’s dedication to harmony in all things.

Kizukura is not just a city; it is the soul of the Empire - a place where past glories meet future ambitions, where every street carries the whispers of history and the promise of destiny.
