Yurokara Compound. [P]

[– red]

Overview –

At first appearance; this looks nothing as a compound. It is disguised by the many bamboo trees which cover many paths. These paths lead to many training grounds, resting places, and finally a mansion. These paths are marked by giant stones which rest in the ground creating a walkway to each training ground and resting place within the compound. To further rid confusion, there are special markings, symbols really which only the Yurokara clan know, and it gives direction to the places you may want to go [if In the clan or know of the compound from either me or someone I’ve given permission to]. Watch towers are posted up every 5 miles and in each there are two guards which rotate with other guards [all of which are a part of the yurokara clan] every 12 hours. You cannot find your way into these compounds by sheer luck because following the trails will not be enough. You will need to know how to avoid the various booby traps which are set off by different triggers, and these triggers are only known to those of the Yurokara clan, and those of the Yurokara clan can give out their secrets if they wish, but most of them are too selfish to do so with outsiders.

Training Compounds –

The training grounds are marked with a red “x.” The entrance to the compound comes off as a large bamboo door. When opened, it reveals a large coliseum. Each training ground is the same. There is a square blueprint. The stone walls reach up to a height of 20 meters. Around these walls in this “square radius” are trees varying from bamboo to willow. Around the edges, much like an outline, water runs, feeding these trees from their arsenal. In the center there are coliseum markings. Usually members of the Yurokara clan are already training here, so there is always someone to train with, whether a large group or a small group. Again, you will not find your way here by sheer luck.

Resting Place – [Grave Markers & Inn’s]

There is only one of these in the entire Yurokara compound and it lies within the center of the compound. The grave markers are to the sides of the trail which leads to the inn. These grave markers are traps, and essentially the resting grounds of the elder Yurokara clan, respected and non-respected.

The Inn is all the way in the center of the resting place which is said to be the most peaceful Inn in all of Kusa. This Inn is free, no charge because the Yurokara clan makes most of its money off of war, so most of the clan members are treated fairly and without charge. Though, those who are not of Yurokara descent must pay as if in a regular Inn. Drinks and food from wide varieties are sold here just like most restaurants.

The waiters are kind, servile to the customers because they believe more in “satisfied customers” over “less work more pay.” The servants give massages, give full tours of the yurokara compound (if needed) and also keep your items for you if you ever need to drop them off (kind of like a checkpoint really).

The Mansion –

The mansion is five stories high, with over 30 rooms in the house, half of them being bedrooms. There are no traps inside this mansion but outside of it there are many [not inside the gate, but outside]. To get inside this, the user must walk over the long water pool because the grass to the side is nothing but booby traps. They say no one has stepped on it in over five years because the last person that did so filled the pool with their blood…..

Back to the mansion though.. The mansion is made out of bricks, though painted brown so that it blends in more with the surroundings [bamboo + other various trees]. There is a pool in the back, servants that are around the mansion to serve your every need, and 24/7 food delivery. Call it the “perfect compound” if you will.
