Anvil of Earth

Oracle of Earth
When the Oracles of Light got together to create the Elemental Nemuranai the Oracle of Earth created the Anvil of Earth

Lion Clan
The Anvil of Earth was probably the most powerful of the Elemental Nemuranai, but would also take the heaviest toll on whoever used it. Some believe that it being left with the Lion Clan was a message from the Oracle to "temper your might with wisdom, lest it consume you".

Kitsu Tomoe
The Anvil was found by a Lion shugenja Kitsu Tomoe, the younger sister of the Hare Clan Champion Usagi Ozaki. Tomoe was visiting her Hare relatives shortly after the Rain of Blood to aid them in recovering when she came upon the Anvil. The bloodspeakers attacked Shiro Usagi, and during the heaviest of the fighting she discovered the Anvil, sensing great power from within. The kami surrounding the Anvil told her how to use it, and she realised that if she used it to it's full power the existance of the Anvil would become known to all. She therefore used it sparingly, only making sure the Hare were never overun, and in the end the Hare won the battle against a vastly superior bloodspeaker army. Tomoe returned with the Anvil to Kitsu lands where it could be safely studied.

Appearance
The Anvil is massive, adorned with elaborate kanji.

Power
To activate the Anvil sprinkle earth on it. When active the user can focus on any natural landmark within line of sight, like a mountain or plain, and strike the anvil, shaping the landscape to their will. Major change like flattening an entire mountain would take prolonged use of the Anvil.
