Toshi Ranbo wo Shien Shite Reigisaho

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

Toshi Ranbo wo Shien Shite Reigisaho, Violence Behind Courtliness City, is currently the capital city of Rokugan. It is commonly referred to simply as "Toshi Ranbo". For generations the city had been fought over by the Lion Clan and the Crane Clan. In 1160, Toshi Ranbo was declared the new capital after the fall of Otosan Uchi.

[edit] Crane - Lion Tensions

The city had been heavily contested by the Lion and Crane Clans for centuries. In 1120, the Lion Clan Champion, Akodo Arasou, and his betrothed, Matsu Tsuko, attempted to retake the castle, then under Crane control. Despite their valor, Arasou was killed and the Lion were routed by a smaller, well entrenched Daidoji garrison.^[1].

[edit] Imperial City

The continuing conflicts between the Lion and Crane ended with the unlikely alliance between the two Clan Champions Matsu Nimuro and Doji Kurohito. The wars between the two clans ended and after the destruction of Otosan Uchi, Toshi Ranbo was made the new imperal capital.^{[citation needed]}

Now that is has become the capital, Toshi Ranbo is growing faster than any other city in Rokugan despite some setbacks, most notably the Fires of Toshi Ranbo. In a few more years the capital will be the same size as Otosan Uchi was. The Imperial Families were the first to establish estates, but the Great and minor clans soon followed.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] The Khan's Invasion

In 1169, the city was heavily damaged following an attack by the armies of Unicorn Clan Champion Moto Chagatai. The battle culminated in a number of important figures being killed. Kaneka fell to the Khan after being distracted by his half-brother, Isawa Sezaru, appeared over the city and started to rain destruction. Sezaru was killed by his wife, using the final remanent of Isawa's Last Wish. Bayushi Kaukatsu was killed by gaki while observing the battle from a balcony of the palace.^[2]
