Standing over twenty feet tall, the vast perimeter has been build to protect Shiro Yoake. However influx of new settlers has seen the colony to expand beyond the perimeter with thousands of heimin living and working outside the city as they tend rice and barley farms that provide the city with food. Armed Phoenix samurai watch over both the perimeter and the heimin villages surrounding the city, but with the fields covering more than three thousand acres, the guards cannot be present everywhere. During the past year more and more of aggressive fauna has found its way on the ever expanding fields leading to some unfortunate casualties. However governor Asako Naokuni insists that the situation is under control and that necessary measures have been taken.

Location rules: Characters are free to leave the city but the guards will remind them that the Phoenix does not guarantee their safety outside the perimeter.
