The eastern continent has three main lands, just as the western one has five. Those are: The Land of Dark Forests, The Land of Swords and The Land of Gold. Just like in five western lands, these eastern lands possess hidden villages. The Land of Swords has the Village Hidden in the Blood, Land of Gold - the Village Hidden in the Gems, and The Land of Dark Forests has two hidden villages - its main administrative village, the Village Hidden in the Shadows, and an autonomous village which has even marked its own territory in high snowy mountains in fir-tree forests, and is called the Village Hidden in the Fir (Mominokigakure) accordingly. This village is where Shin-Lin clan belongs. Even more - it is actually Shin-Lin clan that founded the Hidden Fir Village.
