The Castle of the Nation is the heart of the Crab Clan's defense against the Shadowlands. The huge castle accomodates an entire army, and commands an imposing view on the surrounding counrtyside. This is where the Crab generals plot their strategies, and many messengers are on hand to relay orders to the entire length of the Kaiu Kabe. There is always a small army of bushi stationed here, who serve as an anchor for the wall, and are a deterrent to any Shadowlands creature that percieves the castle as a weak link in the Crab defenses.
