Ekohikei, the "Favored Ones", [1] were the districts of the Otosan Uchi inside the Enchanted Wall, which surrounded the Forbidden City. [2]
Districts[]
After the Battle of Four Winds Hantei divided the Imperial City in five districts, and gave command of each of them to the Great Clan which had assisted in its defense. [3] The district names were permanent, regardless of who served as Governor. [4]
- Eastern district (Kanjo district) - Phoenix Clan
- Southern district (Chisei district) - Crane Clan
- Western district (Karada district) - Crab Clan
- Northern district (Hito district) - Ki-Rin Clan
- Forbidden City - Emperor
Scorpion Coup[]
The four districts surrounding the Forbidden City suffered greatly during the final hours of the Scorpion Coup, as fully half the structures between the Miwaku Kabe and the walls around the Imperial Palace grounds were burned, or brought down. [5]
