According to legend, Ryu Bannin Toshi is founded by the family of a small girl who gave a Celestial Dragon a rice ball. In thanks, the dragon promised her family would know peace for a thousand years. The girl’s descendants become some of the most successful fisherman in Rokugan, and their independent city became both prosperous and prominent. A nearby town called Kiken na Roka Toshi (Treacherous Pass City), located at the southern entrance to the Treacherous Pass, is eventually absorbed into Ryu Bannin Toshi as a single urban center, thriving on trade and fishing under the watchful eye of the Seppun family.
