Watchtower of the East

The Watchtower of the East is a tower that predates the Kaiu Kabe itself. It once served as a northern guard, looking for signal fires from the south from troops stationed to defend against a Shadowlands attack. Since the building of the Carpenter Wall it has been rendered almost completely useless, and has remained largely abandoned. Those who now serve here are mostly criminals, dishonored samurai and those fallen into disfavor. Being assigned here is a great dishonor, as you would be a Crab stationed in the middle of nowhere, rather than where the battles occur. (3E p. 286)
