In the northern hills of
Shudan, this town grew among the many hot springs in the area. It became one of the most popular visitation spots among the
Hiro-On region. Before it was even a town, the area was referred to as
Takusan no Onsen (
Many Hot Springs in
Shudani). When the city itself came into being, the residents referred to it as Takusansen, which was later shortened to Takusen.
With a population near 5,000, it is the largest settlement in
Hiro-On.
Government
Takusen is part of the
Northern Province and
Hiro-On, both of which are largely overseen by the
Izumi Family. The city does not have an official
Regent at this time because it is largely run by
Kanko Izumi, the
Daimyo of the North who resides within the city at
Aokeseki.
Military
The
Peace Force is the name of the larger police group throughout Hiro-On, and the main branch is located in Tauksen. The chief of this branch, like the chiefs of all branches, is appointed by the Izumi family. They don't report to the Izumis directly, but they are funded by the Izumis and the chief can be replaced if the Peace Force doesn't act in accordance with the Izumi family's wishes.
The
Redwind Wardens specialize in patrolling the Redwind Mountains, all the way from origin of the
Nigawa to the western edge of
The Fade. They don't have as strong of a presence in Takusen, but still pass through the city from time to time.
