Kurai District

The Kurai District is home to many of the city's nobles and prominent samurai, and also contains most of the significant Clan embassies and diplomatic residences This is the largest district in Toshi Ranbo, and in the future, as the city continues to grow, will doubtless be subdivided into two or more separate districts. It suffered heavy damage during the Khan's attack at the end of the Winter of Red Snow, but reconstruction efforts got underway with little delay and now, a year later, there is little sign of the terrible fighting which raged through its streets and the fires which ravaged so many of its structures.

As the largest and most heavily populated district in the Imperial capital, the Kurai District also boasts one of the city's largest and most significant courts, second only to the Imperial Court itself. The samurai residents of the City bring the majority of their concerns to this court, expecting their Clan representatives to deal with everything from suppressing the latest crime wave among the heimin to deciding where the latest granary will be built. Every sort of local, petty, or secondary political concern that is too insignificant or localized to deal with in the Imperial Court is brought to the Kurai District court instead. Thus, this court serves a dual role for the Clan delegations in Toshi Ranbo: it is both a place for young courtiers to prove themselves while dealing with less important business, and a place to quietly shelve those courtiers whose talents have proven insufficient for more important duties, allowing them to continue serving their Clan without too great a loss of face.

The governor of the Kurai District is Ikoma Kometsu
