City of the Lost

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

The City of the Lost is the stronghold of Daigotsu and his followers, known as The Lost somewhere in the Shadowlands.

[edit] Discovery

Shortly after the death of Emperor Toturi I the Crab ordered the Hiruma scouts to scour the Shadowlands for any sign of a force capable of striking so deep into the Empire. The Crab were surprised to find an organized city deep in the Shadowlands, inhabited by the Lost, mortals completely corrupted by the taint. Until then the denizens of the Shadowlands had rarely shown such organization, and their leader Daigotsu was revealed. The Hiruma scouts also discovered that the Lost had begun the construction of a shadowy reflection of the Kaiu Kabe, known as the Wall of Bones, built to keep the scouts from venturing too deep into territory of the Lost. (3E p. 25)

During the Four Winds struggle for the Throne, Daigotsu hoped that Naseru would accept siding with him. Naseru killed the Shadowlands emissary, but kept the localisation of the City of the Lost, and sent Yamainu to verify the information.

[edit] Battles

The Four Winds reached the city, but only to fight Daigotsu. Iuchiban also defeated the Dark Lord and took control of the city. Daigotsu returned to reclaim the leadership, and Iuchiban fled, but not before setting fire to parts of the city. The entire city was not destroyed, and Daigotsu now rules again.

[edit] Places

The Wall of Bones is near the city, but the city itself has its own wall. Kokujin has his home here, as does the Shadow Dragon. The most impressive location within the city is arguably the Temple of the Ninth Kami, a huge temple to Fu Leng and Daigotsu's home.
