The Riverfront Theater is a burned-down ruin located on the Unicorn side of the river, characterized by its state of disrepair and active dismantling. The remnants indicate it was once a venue for theatrical performances, and a sign reading "coming soon" suggests plans for reconstruction. Daidoji Shin has acquired property rights and intends to rebuild using a popular play from the Capitol.
The area is inhabited by multiple fire spirits, observed dancing around the ruins, indicating a magical influence linked to the destruction. Shiba Midori communed with these fire spirits during a visit, learning that a Meishoto-bound spirit had been released, which contributed to the fire that consumed the building. The spirits revealed that they had joined in the celebration of the released spirit, suggesting that the fire was a result of magical intervention rather than an accident.
The Emerald Magistrates, upon discovering this information, resolved to report the magical arson risk to the governor and address the implications surrounding the possession of Shinjo Higoichi, connected to the theater's destruction. The Riverfront Theater serves as a focal point for inquiries into magical disturbances and property matters within the city.
