Frost Village (S14) in the Chuuou province was located on a high plateau, and recieved the season's first frosts south of Seikitsu Mountains. Laying on a major travel route between Scorpion lands and southern Crane lands there were many fine inns and tea houses to cater for wealthy travellers here. Shimomura had a full view of the Three-Man Alliance Plain to the south. Its villagers harvested lumber from the forested regions to the south and east - though never in the Shinomen Forest proper.
