Dōshi

Dōshi (どうし) is a big city founded in the north of the Land of Geysers.

Overview
Designed on the base of a lava stream, Dōshi is one of the biggest city of the country. This city wasn't built by a lava stream by accident, as it has hidden tunnels, which is of great importance to its people and its success.

The city itself looks gorgeous. With its copper rooftops, copper walls and frozen swamps, Dōshi has a magical atmosphere.

Economy
Dōshi has a thriving economy, which is mainly supported by hunting and wood production. People skilled in carpenting are the proud of the city. But their biggest strengths are mining and precious metals trading.

The productivity of the city often makes it an easy target for thieves and criminals. That's why is so common to see ninjas in Dōshi, they are often hired to solve problems that the police cannot.

Places

 * While not as famous as Onsenba, Dōshi counts with hot springs of excellent quality. Many travelers make a stop in Dōshi just to rest in the hot springs.
 * Dōmori is a forest near the swamp . The forest is colossal, thick, and thriving. Its canopy was reigned by pine, larch, and chestnut, and cascading lights bouncing between the leaves allowed for a diversity of sprouts to dominate the moss covered grounds below.

Bundled climbing plants grasped every tree, and a variety of flowers, which grew in abundance, clashed with the otherwise monotone landscape.

A cacophony of noises, which were caused by small creatures, echoed in the air, and were backed by the occasional sounds of large animals in the distance.
 * Dōnuma is the biggest swamp, near the forest. This swamp is frozen almost all year round, making it relatively easy to walk on it even in the spring, although it is not advisable to do so early in the year. The citizens usually do winter sports on it and many couples gather there to skate.

Festivals

 * Every two years the Festival of Trade is celebrated with much creativity. It's a holiday with undiscovered roots, but today it is mostly associated with lighting candles, telling jokes, creating charity gift baskets and going out for dinner. It is officially celebrated for one week, but the final hours are by far the most intense and the most beloved hours.

It is officially celebrated for thirteen days the first snowfall.
 * Every winter the Festival of Ice and Snow is celebrated with enchanted hearts. It's an ancestral holiday associated with skill-based contests, fireworks, holiday treats and hot beverages.
