The great field fronting the Golden Moon Gate hosts an annual contest known as the Flower War. Warriors from clans all over the Gift dress in full battle regalia, as colorful as the blossoms they trample. They fight one another in free-for-alls, duels, and team matches, pounding their rivals with stone clubs. The best might win a place among the jasuan knights. The worst face shame or exile, with most winding up as corpses in the ditch.
