The Ninja Village

The Ninja Village is the original home of most of the ninja.

History
The Ninja Village was originally built by Grandmaster around 680 CE when Grandmaster, Ashida, and Jackeline formed Iga Province. It was fully under the administration of Grandmaster who used it as a home for his close warrior friends. In the early 13th century, Grandmaster established the village as the home of the Kuji Ninja Clan after defeating Ashida and Jackeline. The clan became well respected by the other inhabitants of Iga, despite remaining shrouded in mystery. The village was essentially autonomous despite technically being under the service of the Emperor. Grandmaster brought complete independence to the village, as well as the rest of Iga, in the 14th century with the help of other clans.

In 1563 the village was briefly taken over by Tonglong when he killed grandmaster. However, the following year he was driven out and control of the village reverted back to the ninja.

Description
Built in the mountains and surrounded by forest, the village is hidden from the rest of the world.
