The region is currently controlled by Kage-Kitsune
In 1097, Sunder Falls was gifted to Clan Kage in recognition of their on-going service to the Tarantula Nation. In fitting with their Nihonese culture, the city was renamed to Ichi no Kage, though it retains its original name on current maps.
The only surface temple stands around the ritual circle at the outskirts of the city. Found at the midpoint between Trentarus and the Cave of Whispers, this circle is strongly aligned towards Evil, Magic and Fate. The chosen ritual circle for many of the Llothite rituals planned at the Paladins' base, it is common to find mages here attuning themselves to the circle and strengthening the seals against attack.
The city of Sunder Falls itself sits atop a cliff edge, the wide river leading from the Inland Sea carving its way through the centre of the city until it reaches the cliff edge creating a grand waterfall. The cliff face itself is largely made of Obsidian, the darkness that follows makes the waterfall seem to continue to the very heart of Erdreja.
The cavern that houses the city is not the tallest, many of the buildings are low lying and grand palaces and temples are simply impossible to build on such scale. So the inhabitants built into the rock itself. The temple and palace are held in one complex that winds its way down into the face of the waterfall. Carvings in the rock face make for windows looking out through the very heart of the waterfall. The nature of this work makes it very defendable, with only a few entrances through the rock and the waterfall protecting them from the outside their little palace has stood up against many sieging armies.
Within the city itself are several Guild Houses - a legacy started by Momosan Kage, whom constructed a House for each Guild of the Heartlands.
Of particular note is the Armourers Guild House, which serves as a secure research facility for the Master Artisans more exotic, and dangerous, experiments. Unusually, for an Armourers Guild House, this building also contains a fully functioning alchemical laboratory, and features reinforced walls and additional support structures, as well as strategically placed ventilation ducts.
