Emerald and Jade

House of a Thousand Dawns

The House of a Thousand Dawns sits at the top of a hill in Ide lands, on the shores of Chrysanthemum Petal Lake (BB). It was built to commemorate the travels of the Ki-Rin through the Burning Sands and the interior walls are reputed to be decorated with some of the finest paintings of birds ever made.

The House was part of the dowry that Ide Kishi brought to her marriage with Shinjo Shoji, and their travelling court resides there during the summer. The fabulous decorated interior has only been seen by the great and powerful, or those close the lord, most only see the path leading to the hill.
