Lonely Shore City is located well inside Sabishii Province, isolated behind coastal hills and cliffs, making it difficult to find by overland travel. It is a major center for Crane mercantilism and naval strength, as well as the home to the infamous Daidoji Trading Council, so the Crane prefer that it receive the majority of its traffic by sea rather than by land. Diplomatic negotiations in this city tend to be trade oriented and are often quite ruthless, the Daidoji tending to be far less courteous than their Doji or Kakita brethren. The majority of all trade and diplomacy with the Mantis takes place here, for the Daidoji see the brusque Yoritomo style and flaunting of wealth as inappropriate for other Crane courts.
The Daidoji Trading House is said to be the heart of Mura Sabishii Toshi. It is an enormous conglomerate of connected warehouses, and while its central chamber is used to conduct business operations, visitors can easily get lost within the dizzying array of subsidiary rooms and buildings. Few if any non-Crane are allowed to wander through the tremendous rooms of the Trading House, and then only to impress them with the scale and scope of Daidoji power and wealth.
