—————————
Hinomoto (日の本) is an island country with a temperate climate. The winters aren’t too harsh, and the summers aren’t excessively hot, either. Due to the surrounding waters, they’re pretty humid though, and rain is a frequent occurrence.
After the civil war split the country, some have started calling what used to be a single state Bukoku (分国) - “divided land”.
Majority of the country is covered in hills and valleys, especially around the island’s centre. Combined with the moisture the surrounding waters provide, it makes it a perfect land for farming, with the most even terrain laying to the North, most of Kaen-han laying on flatlands. The biggest chain of mountains spreads along the West coast in the south, with the Hyouga-han’s capital at the mountain chain’s gate. Similar formations, but more rocky and of less height and span are found lining the rigged North-West coast of Kaen-han and part of the East coast, obstructing access to Hinomoto from sea from the nearby foreign lands.
Main sea trade routes used to head towards the even line of the East, but ever since the war has turned that side of Hinomoto into wastelands, they fell out of use. Most ships now go either to the ports in the North-East incline in land within Kaen-han’s territory and through ports of West Coast - through the gates of the Inei-han and smooth coastline of Hyouga-han.
Most of access to the Inei-han is through water, aside for the southernmost piece of the domain which is linked with the mainland through an isthmus. That place is strictly off-limits, though, as a prison maintained and guarded by the Shadow Clan is located there, holding captive criminals since generations ago
