Taku

What once appeared to be a thriving city built into a mountain, is now crumbled from abandonment. A large stone carving of an anteater or something accompanies the road that enters the city. Inside some of the buildings you can find tapestries and pottery, scrolls, and even a crown among other things.

On a nearby mountaintop rests a herbal institute, one of elegant architecture and past wealth. For 40 years a herbalist made a living here, and watched the other residents slowly leave. Now only she and her cat (Miyuki) remain, tending to wounded Earth Kingdom soldiers when they come by.
