Sachihoko Tower was a massive tower, the northernmost point of Dragon Clan territory. Capping the top of a massive snowy mountain, the tower was equal parts watchtower and monastery. Officially, it was erected at the Seppun family's behest, to alert the Dragon of a northern invasion. So inhospitable is the northern terrain, that in a thousand years, its ancient mirror had never reflected a single beacon fire, and its warning smoke signals had never been lit. The tower was named for the statue adorning its pointed rooftop, depicting a massive bronze carp with the head of a tiger. This creature, known as a sachihoko, was said to have visited the tower when it was erected, summoning a thunderstorm that tested the temple's very foundations. Interpreted as a blessing, the abbot commissioned the ornament as a means of thanking the creature. [1]
