Gujō Hachiman Castle
Vengeful and Abandoned
(a.k.a. 郡上八幡城)
Summary
A mighty castle commissioned and constructed by minor lord Endō Morikazu of the Endō Clan. While an excellent example of defensive architecture, the castle unfortunately stood as a symbol of Morikazu's power for only a decade before he fell ill and passed away. With looters and opportunists kept at bay by... something within its walls, Gujō Hachiman Castle stood abandoned and desolate for a full century thereafter. Eventually, the longing, loneliness, and sadness of its master's death caused the castle's hundred-year ascension into a yōkai. Only the intervention of a kindly Buddha and Endō Shiromaro forestalled a dumb, brutish, castle-yōkai rampage across the surrounding countryside. Now, Gujō Hachiman is bound to Shiromaro and serves her willingly as a familiar. It is eager to lash out against humans in particular, all of whom are ultimately responsible for its own squandered potential in the castle's eyes.
