House of the White Chrysanthemum

The House of the White Chrysanthemum was the Otomo Orator dojo. It was built at Toshi Ranbo after the city became the Imperial capital. The building was constructed near the Great Clan embassies in to familiarize the students with their enemies.

Training
Students were trained about encyclopedic lore regarding the various clans and Families with whom they would interact, and the weapons of court: oratory, deceit, and manipulation. Newly arriving students were pitted against one another to determine who among them had the strongest personalities and the sheer charisma to dominate large groups of courtiers.

As students neared graduation, the dojo hosted a series of vigorous debates among them, and participated in a number of small-scale court settings created exclusively for training purposes.
