Toshi Aitate

The City of the Open Hand was refounded by Bayushi Zenasaru, and it was formerly known as Sekkai Yurri, the '''City of Limes and Lilies. It was two days' ride southeast of Kyuden Bayushi.

Sekkai Yurri
The City of Limes and Lilies got his wealth from a silver mine, and it was a pit of corruption and filth populated by miners and gamblers. In the early 12th century the corrupt headman and magistrate allowed the rift between the two groups, and the peasants suffered. When miners hit an underground river half of the city was flooded, and its population decimated. The former west end of the town became a lake.

Toshi Aitate
Bayushi Zenasaru, Bayushi Shoju's lieutenant, killed the corrupted headman and magistrate, and put his own yoriki in their places. He commanded to clean the mess and renamed the city as Toshi Aitate. He re-opened the city's gambling and tea houses, which were run by Emerald Magistrates. For the first time in Rokugan's history, legitimate gambling was available to the public.
