The Ikoma Archive is a prominent structure situated on a hilltop, serving as a repository of knowledge and history for the Lion Clan. It is known for its scholarly atmosphere, where historians and strategists convene to document events and analyze military tactics. The Archive is associated with Ikoma Hideri, a historian who uses the facility to record battle impressions and manage supplies like paper and ink.
The Ikoma Archive plays a critical role in the ongoing conflict by providing insights and historical context to commanders. It has been referenced during military engagements, notably when Lion Clan general Matsu Sakura consulted with Ikoma Hideri about the Unicorn Clan's tactical maneuvers. Hidari identified concealed spike-filled pits as traps, linking this strategy to past Unicorn Clan experiences against the Crab Clan at the The Wall. The Archive's records aid in understanding enemy strategies, particularly in efforts to minimize losses. Additionally, the location serves as a space for strategizing and healing, where commanders gather to discuss plans and address troop attrition.
