Shioyama Temple (塩の山, Salt Mountain) is the largest Tenryu Shinko and Ninshu temple in all of Zaishin. It sits on the peak of the Shioyama Mountain which straddles the warm mountainous border between the Iron Country and the Waterfall Country. The mountain is filled with salt mines and resources. The temple is dedicated to Tenryu Shinko and the samurai branch of Earth Ninshu. In the center of the temple itself is a large pillar of blessed salt which repels miasma and feral yokai. There are living quarters in adjacent buildings around the mountain but the temple on the mountain's peak is the focal point. The entire area has been blessed by salt which repel miasma and feral yokai from the area. This is the refuge of the Earth Sages and is the castle of the noble Hogosha clan.
