- main camp is an abandoned samurai temple
- many hidden doors and such to explore
- surrounded by a vast forest
- territory has a beach, usually reserved for water based training along with the New Blood festival (sometimes)
- traditional Japanese fishing huts are found along this beach as well, though most choose to stay within the walls of the samurai temple


THE FOREST - ♛ ♛ ♛
The forest surrounding and protecting the Coalition is a dense array of deciduous and evergreen trees. Berry and flower bushes litter the ground they can claim, some completely harmless and even edible, others? Better hope you can get home fast enough. Larger animals might find the forest hard to navigate agility wise, usually why you don’t see them as Shinobi. However, the forest has kept those who wish the Coalition harm at bay, getting them lost, never to be seen again. The locals have their own tricks for not meeting the same fate.


— THE GREAT CRYPTOMERIA - ♛
A large Cryptomeria tree and supposedly the oldest and largest tree within the Coalition's forest. It is The first landmark Novices and Inductees learn about, as well as the place climbing, highground defense and offense takes place.

— STATUE YARD -
gotta rewrite this one oof

— THE RAPIDS - [url=https://ak3.picdn.net/shutterstock/videos/18198673/thumb/1.jpg]♛ ♛
A freshwater river flowing down from the mountains, not recommended for swimming, period. Novices are not allowed here without at least two others who can swim well with them. Many have lost their lives to falling in, even before the Coalition’s time.

— THE WOUND - ♛ ♛
A charred area further into the territory, most likely burned by a wildfire about four months before the Coalition’s formation. Its still ridden with ash, but some who garden attempt to help heal the wound whenever they can. More often than not, the area is plagued with thick fog, it is not recommended to go in without a light. 

NEW BLOOD FESTIVAL
A 'newer' tradition, one made when the coalition was first founded. Wanting a time for novices to be proud of themselves and anything they could achieve, Rosie thought of the Festival, one hosted and planned by the novices themselves. Normally, there would be capture the flag for Shinobi Novices, spectated by the clan, a public sparring match for the Soldier Novices, along with a feast and dance prepared by the Merchant novices (who usually have the head of the operation, being the event planner division).


THE BALL GAME
A nod to Rosie's homeland, the ball game is played by using one's body to keep an almost 3kg ball in play, gaining points by hitting it into one of two vertical hoops (north team hits to the west hoop, south team to the east). It is a game sometimes played with the heads of one's enemies. Alongside its entertainment value, the Coalition uses it to settle material disputes, such as the Grand Merchant's vote ending in a tie, who gets to keep an item both member's found. It only works when there is something to gain or lose. All dispute matches are spectated by the high positions.
