Shiro Mirumoto

The Last Glance Castle is the ancestral home of the Mirumoto family, standing high overlooking a pass through Kyodai and Kabe sano Kita. The road spirals upward into a ravine under the watchful gaze of those in the castle, and those who wish to visit must climb the path, invaders however must avoid arows, pitch and fire from above, with no way to retaliate. In 1161 the Mirumoto Daimyo Mirumoto Uso was murdered within his private chambers in the castle, and since then the security has increased even more, making it a virtually impregnable fortress.
