DOMINION CAMPAIGN

Along the serene banks of the Wishti River lies Higashikawa, a sprawling city celebrated for its artistry, craftsmanship, and devotion to tradition. Its streets bustle with life as craftsmen and artists showcase their creations in narrow alleys, while fishmongers and merchants barter in open markets filled with the scents of fresh rice and delicacies from the river.

The river is lined with river shrines, sacred sites surrounded by vibrant cherry blossoms, where pilgrims and locals alike come to offer prayers for prosperity and blessings. The shrines, shimmering with the glow of lanterns and decorated with ornate carvings, serve as a spiritual center and a place of peace in the city's busy life.

Higashikawa thrives as a hub of both culture and defense. The samurai, loyal protectors of the city, train diligently in its barracks, ensuring the safety of its citizens and the security of its trade routes. Beyond its bustling center, the rustic districts on the outskirts offers a glimpse of a quieter life, where rice farmers and tea growers tend to their crops with care, sustaining the city’s prosperity.

The city's tea houses, scattered throughout its districts, offer not only fine teas but also a chance to escape the bustling streets, where travelers and nobles gather to exchange ideas and stories. Despite its growing size, Higashikawa remains harmonious, its layout carefully planned to reflect the Empire’s principles of balance and progress.

Higashikawa is lively yet peaceful, humble yet refined. It is a place where the past and future coexist, where tradition fuels innovation, and where every street, shrine, and workshop tells the story of a community heading toward a bright horizon.
