Hantei XVII broke with tradition when he declared on his deathbed that he wanted to be buried in the plains where his wife had been born in Phoenix lands. Where his ashes were buried a great white oak tree grew and a castle was built around the tree to protect it. The castle became known as the Pale Oak Castle and the plain the Pale Oak Plain. Many believe that the bark from the oak has healing powers. (3E p. 295)
[edit] Rumor
It was rumored that Hantei XVII had an insatiable appetite for young samurai-ko. (Scorpion p. 31)
[edit] Returning Art
Hantei XVII returned the jade sculpture known as The Council to the Asahina family during his reign. It had originally been a gift to Hantei Retsuhime from the Asahina Daimyo of her generation, Asahina Kamatari.[1]
