The City Between the Rivers, also known as the City of the Rich Frog, is a vital river port located at the confluence of the Three Sides River and the Drowned Merchant River. It serves as a key trading hub for commerce among the Unicorn, Dragon, and Lion clans. The city is divided into three districts: the Unicorn district, characterized by polished black granite wharves and stone buildings with violet roofs; the Dragon district, featuring shrines along the riverbank and a modest wharf; and the Lion district, which uses a defensive canal system for cargo movement.
A notable establishment in the city is a teahouse informally referred to as the "Teahouse With No Name," known for its superb tea and its canny hostess, Ikoma Kotone.
