Takuroku

Takuroku is a fabled location from the Folktale known as The Shinansha. Upon this plain, the Emperor Kotei and his army attack the forces of Shiyu, a rebel wishing to claim the throne. He was also a sorcerer and so when the battle began he summoned forth fog onto the plain to disorient the forces of Emperor Kotei and so Shiyu and his forces retreated.1
