Important names:

 -"The young Cosmos Country would not enjoy peace for long when they began to get savagely attacked by various bandits and rogue groups trying to break the back of Hidden Time. However, through amazingly strife, and the ultimate sacrifice by the first Uchuukage, the hoards were temporarily held off. "  This is what I'm going to expand on from the "help story" file, because it's the only part that I've done any work on.  The rest you can use your creative license to expand upon.  The series 'random' attacks was actually being guided by a single individual who lead a final assault on the Time Village in hopes of crushing the first Uchuukage.  When this force approached time village, they were met by the first (Who still actually needs a name, as far as I know) who used a massive space-time jutsu to warp himself, the mountain, and everyone on it (past a point?) to an extra dimension consisting of just the mountain where they have all remained since (either frozen in time or locked in eternal combat....not sure which I like better...discuss?).

 -Tezumi Shigado, leader of the Shingai-gun:  This would be pretty much the "arch-nemesis" of the first Uchuukage.  He wielded a nodachi [make up some lore about it if you would please] and lead the massive invasion force that the first Uchuukage banished.

 -The staff of the first Uchuukage:  Come up with a cool description or something if you want to talk about it more.  Check out vnum 1822.  The staff was specifically crafted for(/by?) the first Uchuukage to function as both a long flute, and a walking staff.  Also, something like "It's rumoured that the first Uchuukage used the staff as a focus point to increase his power several times over."...or something.

I'm not sure if there was any more information to give, but if I think of anything or you have any questions, I'll make sure to get it here pretty quick.

Heizo and I worked out a few things today and got some rooms in place.

First, the lobby of the main museum is going to feature a huge statue of the first daimyo of the Cosmos Country, around which the museum was built. There will be an upper floor, accessible by stairs up to the viewing deck, where one can see the face in better detail.

Second, we were thinking of having two separate museums, the larger being focused on the country's history and the smaller dealing with some of the Time Village's history. All gift shops will be maintained separately from the museums along side streets in the district.

Last, but certainly not least, we came up with a rudimentary map for the inside of the larger museum and the streets outside.

Any ideas or concerns would be welcomed.

I like the idea of having more than one museum, and I was actually even thinking you might have as many as three or four (if you were so inclined, but whatever is cool).

I now have the entire layout in, and it is ready for content (e.g. mobs, room descs, etc.). We have two museums, one for the Country's history and the other for the Village's history. There are three rooms designated for shops (which sells what is not yet determined), and we can have some peddlers in the street if necessary.

Upon re-reading Gatz's ideas for Kiseki, I have altered my ideas for the two major buildings. The larger will remain primarily dedicated to the Cosmos Country, but will also include a room dedicated to the Time Village and the smaller will be changed to a library. I have to change some parts of the layout (primarily the former ninja museum) to accommodate this, but it should make the area a bit more interesting.

For reference, here's Gatz's original description of Matsue:

Gatz wrote:

The last district of Kiseki, to the south, is Matsue. This district is known for being the historical bastion of Cosmos Country. It has a large selection of museums and land marks of Cosmos Country. When Eken Shuuhei retired to become a lord of Cosmos Country, he donated his entire armament to the large military museum dedicated to the wars of Cosmos Country. This district also houses one of the most impressive libraries in the entire world, featuring some of rarest works by monks who had previously lived in the mountains of Cosmos Country.

UPDATE: The layout is done, work has begun on the museum's progs.
