*During the Shogunate the only use for the Terminal was for military operations, the Gate of Auspicious Passage network allowing armies to be moved with ease between major cities for peacekeeping operations and Wyld hunts. By the end of the Low First Age not even that could be accomplished as the Dragonblooded lost understanding of how to maintain the gates. By the time the Great Contagion rolled around the Daimyo of Denandsor was under pressure to knock the building down. | *During the Shogunate the only use for the Terminal was for military operations, the Gate of Auspicious Passage network allowing armies to be moved with ease between major cities for peacekeeping operations and Wyld hunts.

*This slightly misnamed park has become just a legend, lost with whatever first age city it was originally sited in, resembles a beautiful outdoor art exhabit. Thousands of paintings and sculptures are set up throughout the garden each the gateway into a stored dream. Just a touch or a look and the laws that normally suspend such a thing fade and allow anyone to step into the exhibits. During the First Age and Shogunate the garden was open to all, the only cost imposed by the manse itself: A dream to add to its collection. | *This slightly misnamed park has become just a legend, lost with whatever first age city it was originally sited in, resembles a beautiful outdoor art exhabit.

*In the High First Age this grand building was a vast temple dedicated to the Unconquered Sun. But after the Usurpation the Shogunate redesigned those manses that recalled the rulers of the previous age. A militant Chosen of Serenity aligned with the Bronze Faction redesigned this manse to prove to the few remaining Solars free from the Jade Prison and their pathetic Lunar mates that their Patron and God truly had turned his back on them. She redesigned this temple as a vast whorehouse and brothel catering to the wealthiest crafters in the City. She desecrated the Temple in every way she could think of, including using the services of every being employed there in every room, just so when she next joined a Wyld Hunt she could truly twist a knife into their self-righteous souls. | *In the High First Age this grand building was a vast temple dedicated to the Unconquered Sun.
