The City of Green Walls, the Journey's End, the City of Lies, Ryoko Owari's infamous reputation as a hive of scum and villainy is already well-established by 486. The city creeps along the River of Gold, its banks studded with the piers and warehouses that mark it as the center of economic activity in the Western Empire. It is host to a sizeable contingent of the Scorpion army, has impressive fortifications both to landward and addressing the river, and waits patiently for your business and custom. It is eager to extract your koku and distribute it to its teeming mass of humanity.

The City of Lies is the better part of a day south of Kyuden Ikoma on the river as it passes through narrow mountain gorges. It would take much longer on foot or horseback.
