Feng Shui Sites and Rokugan

Rokugan has, like any other land, sites of power.  Call them feng shui sites, chakra sites, ki (or chi) sites...  They are sites where the spiritual and magical energy of the elements flow more easily to the earth's surface.  The strength of the elements flows across the earth along energy lines, ley lines: they are known here as Dragon Lines. Where Dragon Lines cross, a site of power is likely to occur, the more lines crossing, the more powerful the site.

Kami are more likely to congregate around sites of power: spirits of the elements, ghosts of the ancestors, creatures not entire born of the mortal world.  They may be the site's guardians, they may be parasites feeding off it.  Sorcerers are also attracted to these sites, where they can tap the ki energy and shape it at will to power spells otherwise impossible to achieve.  Even ordinary mortals can channel the ki from a site of power, often without knowing it.

The Crab have been given the task of guarding Rokugan's border against the Shadowlands; the Scorpion guard the Black Scrolls against those who would release Fu Leng; the Lion's armies guard the land from mortal forces, the Phoenix protects it form magical threats; the Crane guard its culture, and the Ki-Rin, well...  No one knows what they have been tasked with.  But it is the Clan of the Dragon that has been tasked with guarding Rokugan's sites of power.  Thus the clan is sending brave souls to follow the Dragon Lines, find the ki sites of Rokugan, free them from those who would misuse the power, and protect the sites.

Ki sites are treated exactly as per the Feng Shui rules including Attunement, De-Attunement, Defending Sites, Burning Sites, Sorcery Difficulty, Reversion, etc.  Applicable fu powers, magic schticks, creature powers, etc. also work as normal (e.g., Fertility effects).
 

Known Ki Sites

• All Dragon castles, keeps, and villages are built near ki sites, however weak.  The stronger the site, the better guarded it is.  One of the strongest in Dragon lands is guarded by Kyuden Togashi, seat of the Clan Champion.

 
• Shiro no Hiruma, the castle of the Hiruma family daimyo in southern Crab lands, guards an important ki site.

 
• Lord Hikarimono, the self-appointed warlord in the northwest lands, has made his lair near a powerful ki site by the shore of Ryu Lake.

 
• Togashi Kaneka was investigating a possible ki site when he was killed near the village of Akibin in the mountains between the Dragon and Phoenix lands.

 
• Another ki site is suspected in the wild lands in the area plagued by bandits.  No specifics, and this covers a vast territory.
