Shinsei no Sumai Mura

The "Holy Home Village" is named that because it was believed that Shinsei once dwelled here for two months, teaching it's inhabitants. Since the death of Shinsei it became a popular pilgrimage destination.

Shrine
For reasons unknown to the pilgrims who travelled here they all brought with them small stones from their homes. For decades they were collected until the Master of Earth Shiba Esade used them to create the village's main shrine. All the stones brought there fit together perfectly and the shrine has lasted for centuries.
