Kuroshin

Kuroshin Castle is the reclaimed and rebuilt stronghold of the Keibatsu on Kyataru.

Historic

Kuroshin Exterior

Kuroshin Castle, once the seat of power for the Keibatsu bloodline, was decimated nearly a hundred years ago, by a violent coup. The family warlords, away from the politics of the local kingdom, had been unseated, their bloodline reduced to mere Generals of the Emperor.

The castle was razed in accordance with the new emperor's wishes, and the family more or less deposed. The Keibatsu did their best to maintain the enormous castle, but found themselves rather strapped to do so as more and more of the castle fell to age and disrepair.

Reclaimed

The Keibatsu return to Kyataru was more than unexpected. Rallying at the ancient and overlooked ruin, the eldest, Musashi Daraku Keibatsu spent a great deal of time and money, droid workers carrying out his secret plans for the keep.

Kuroshin Exterior

The exteriors of the hold were not changed much, the decrepit facade camoflaging the underground complex from the enemies of the bloodline rather well. The interiors however, were quite another matter. Lavish quarters for the bloodline were made, several training halls and libraries, as well as more than enough barracks and administrative rooms to conduct a viable war were constructed, all under the noses of the corrupt Shogunate.

The crowning touch was the concealed docking bay, where the Fallen Spear would be concealed, awaiting the time when all of the Herald's cards would be called into play, sweeping the foes of the family from the terrain.

War

The Reclamation War seemed not to touch Kuroshin, even as rumours seeped into the populace that the old family had returned to claim it's birthright.
