The Village of Promises was at the junction of two Imperial roads, near the foothills of the dangerous Sabishii Crags. The village had been formed merging three separate hamlets in the early 11th century. Each hamlet dedicated itself to providing the local lord with important trade goods and commodities. The eastern portion, Jingore, was dedicated to farming, the southern, Ubanoru, to trade, while to the northwest Omiatsu housed important nobility and tourists during the pleasant seasons.
