| Created by: | Hiruma Osuno |
| First used by: | Kitsu Tomoe |
| Currently in the possession of: | Isawa Kojiro |
| Nemuranai | |
When the Oracles of Light got together to create the Elemental Nemuranai the Oracle of Earth created the Anvil of Earth.
Appearance and Abilities[]
The Anvil was massive, adorned with elaborate kanji. To activate the Anvil sprinkled earth on it. When actived the user could focus on any natural landmark within line of sight, like a mountain or plain, and stroke the anvil, shaping the landscape to their will. Major change like flattening an entire mountain would take prolonged use of the Anvil. [1]
History[]
Oracles retired from Ningen-do[]
In 1160 the Oracles of Light decided to retreat from the Mortal Realm for a time, to watch the people of Rokugan from the Celestial Heavens. Only the Oracle of Jade would remain among the people. Before they left each Oracle gifted an enchanted item that beared the power of an Elemental Dragon. [2]
Kitsu Tomoe[]
The Anvil was found by the shugenja Kitsu Tomoe, the younger sister of the Hare Clan Champion Usagi Ozaki. Tomoe was visiting her Hare relatives shortly after the Rain of Blood to aid them in recovering when she came upon the Anvil. The bloodspeakers attacked Shiro Usagi, and during the heaviest of the fighting she discovered the Anvil, sensing great power from within. The kami surrounding the Anvil told her how to use it, and she realized that if she used it to it's full power the existance of the Anvil would become known to all. She therefore used it sparingly, only making sure the Hare were never overrun, and in the end the Hare won the battle against a vastly superior bloodspeaker army. Tomoe returned with the Anvil to Kitsu lands where it could be safely studied. The 'Anvil of Earth was probably the most powerful of the Elemental Nemuranai, but would also take the heaviest toll on whoever used it. Some believe that it being left with the Lion Clan was a message from the Oracle to "temper your might with wisdom, lest it consume you". [1]
