Location
Amatsureikyō
Created by V100Amatsureikyō stands as the magnificent capital of Hinokuni, a sprawling metropolis of over eleven million inhabitants that seamlessly merges the ancient and the contemporary. The city's skyline gleams with towering arcane spires and crystalline structures that harness spiritual energy, yet beneath these modern marvels lie centuries-old shrines dedicated to forgotten kami and protective deities. Governed from the imposing Amatsukage Palace—a fortress of white stone and reinforced enchantments perched upon the city's highest plateau—the capital maintains strict order while accommodating the delicate balance between human civilization and supernatural forces. Districts dedicated to yōkai communities exist in harmonious parallel to bustling human neighborhoods, connected by high-speed transit systems that wind through both tangible streets and ethereal pathways. Spirit-haunted forests form natural borders around the city's perimeter, serving as sacred grounds where shamans and spirit-walkers commune with otherworldly beings. Hidden gates throughout Amatsureikyō provide passage to the Veiled Quarter, where supernatural factions conduct their shadowy affairs beyond the view of ordinary citizens. The city's true complexity reveals itself only to those who know where to look—forgotten tunnel networks honeycombing beneath the surface, abandoned shrines accessible only during twilight hours, and liminal spaces where the barrier between worlds grows thin. Amatsureikyō represents humanity's greatest achievement in coexisting with magic itself, a living testament to the power of accepting rather than rejecting the mystical forces that shape reality.

The Veil Market of Crossing Souls
A sprawling bazaar that exists in the liminal spaces between the spirit realm and the material world, accessible only during twilight hours through unmarked alleyways in Amatsureikyō's oldest districts. Vendors—both human merchants and yōkai traders—sell impossible wares: bottled memories, crystallized moonlight, maps that change destinations, and artifacts of uncertain origin. The market's architecture shifts subtly, with stalls arranged in patterns that seem to follow no logical geography. Adventurers who investigate report finding rare components for arcane rituals, encountering spirit brokers willing to negotiate with mortals, and discovering clues about the hidden factions that truly govern the city. However, those who linger too long risk becoming lost in the market's ever-changing layout, potentially trapped between worlds until the next twilight crossing.
The Sunken Archive of Forgotten Names
Buried beneath the oldest district of Amatsureikyō lies a vast underground library carved from luminescent stone, accessible only through a concealed entrance hidden within the roots of an ancient shrine. The Archive contains centuries of records written in shifting ink that changes depending on who reads it—historical documents, spirit contracts, yōkai genealogies, and forbidden arcane formulae. The air shimmers with residual magic, and the shelves are tended by ethereal librarians who are neither fully alive nor dead. Adventurers who venture here risk encountering knowledge that was deliberately sealed away, as well as the protective spirits bound to guard the Archive's most dangerous secrets.
