Location Type: Public Space
Grid Locale: Juuban Ward
This used to be a neighborhood where people lived. A series of switch-backs produced a sort of 'tiered' appearance as the street went back and forth from the hilly upper region to the road back into the rest of Juuban. Houses held families and lone individuals, and many had been living here for a generation or two, passing their home down to their children and grand children and great grand children in turn. The sun used to come up over a lake in the north-east, and fog even in summer was to be expected.

The trees high upon the hill have taken over the upper region by this point, growing through abandoned homes, and busting the road up into broken chunks with dark roots that have grown terribly fast since the people left. Fog is present in greater densities in some parts, but there is little or no life to be found. Some animals in the lower tiers, and among the houses; the trees, grass, weeds, moss, and mushrooms; sometimes someone squatting in one of the houses if they are driven out of the rest of the city with anti-homeless measures...

Life can be found here, but this is not a place where people live. It is a haunted ruin composed of a mix of newer modern homes and older historical buildings that have stood since the end of the War.

There is no record of this district's name, no one remembers it, and most people don't even realize it exists. It's very hard to just accidentally stumble into, even if the path seems perfectly obvious from the inside. The feature that this entire district is built upon is a shrine high atop the hill, where a rumored 'Miracle' took place, protecting hundreds during the fire bombings in the War. However, this place, too, is abandoned. But not even ghosts dare haunt it. There are things worse than being dead in the world, and one of them calls the Soryuu Shrine home.
