Far to the east of Ikaiguchi, the Funkazan Clan have tamed the mountains of Shiobiyama. Their forges are famed, beating hearts of the volcanoes that stir with power. But these are only one part of the Funkazan, for their famed hospitality and devotion to the Shin’rei and the Imperial heartlands hint at a warmth of spirit and devotion to Ikaiguchi that is written in both their artifice and their architecture.
The Dragon’s Backbone are these facets writ large into the mountains. These mountain terraces glitter with complex irrigation systems and verdant plantlife makes them resemble great scales that seem to shift with the seasons. Their inhabitants are warm, enthusiastic people, who farm for the clan and welcome any true devotees to Ikaiguchi.
