Shimada Castle

"Shimada Castle still sits high in its place of glory, overlooking our city like a stalwart stone temple awaiting a benevolent deity. You and I know well enough, we two who make and wield the sword, that while their castle was indeed strong stone, the Shimada were no gods, but people&mdash;and criminals at that. But the Shimada understood that honor and loyalty forge the strongest bond between ruler and ruled."

- Asa Yamagami

Shimada Castle is the base of operations of the Shimada Clan, and is located in Hanamura. It overlooks Kanezaka.
