Western Works Village was a productive Crane artisan community. Crane people said that this village, so near to the Scorpion Clan border was the proof that difficulties were a source of creativity. The village was indeed situated East of the Hare Clan town of Kudo and South-East of the Scorpion bandit village of Shutai. All three were simultaeously attacked by Kali-Ma's Destroyer army and Western Works Village was assaulted in the month of the Hare of 1173.
