Plane Kamigawa
Part of Towabara Plains

Eiganjo Castle (Japanese: (えい) (がん) (じょう) ; rōmaji: Eiganjō; literally: "Eternal Rock Castle") was a major white-aligned location on Kamigawa.[1]

Description

Kami War

Standing in the middle of the Araba, a ruined part of the Towabara Plains, it was the seat of power of daimyo Takeshi Konda and home to Michiko Konda. Protected by the blessings of That Which Was Taken and the guardian dragon Yosei, the Morning Star, the city survived the largest part of the Kami War unharmed.

However, when O-Kagachi manifested in the corporeal world (utsushiyo), he attacked Eiganjo and tried to recover his stolen offspring. Though That Which was Taken was stolen by Toshiro Umezawa and transported to safety, Eiganjo was reduced to rubble by the wrath of The Great Serpent.

Neon Dynasty

Eiganjo was rebuild, and more than 1200 years later it was still the main centre of Imperial power. It is where the Emperor lives with their court, and where the Imperials train at their Academy.[2]
