Nikesake Castle was built to withstand the many assaults Nikesake had to suffer from their Matsu neighbors. It towers over the surrounding city and dates back to the earliest days of the Empire.
A wide moat surrounds the castle, with two red bridges providing access to the structure. The interior of the castle is stark and unadorned, as is the governor's courtroom. In the days of the Phoenix, court was typically held in the Crane Embassy, but the Lion quickly ended that practice.
