This article is about the town of Natsuragi, not to be confused with Natsuragi (family)Natsuragi, formally known Natsuragi Tani, is a town situated in the southern part of the Alvada Province, practically on the border with Endanor Province in the United Crowns of Syltör. It is composed of two districts- the Tani and Niwa districts.

Tani District
The Tani district is the oldest and the smallest of the two districts. The main street, Tani no Michi goes through the town square leading to the shrine. Following the path behind the shrine will eventually lead to Lhumar. Much of the public services in Natsuragi are located in the Tani district. Some of these include the craft house, and the forge. The infamous onsen of Natsuragi is located in the Tani district, helping to creating the border to Niwa. Much of the district is surrounded by bamboo.

Niwa District
The Niwa district is the newer district of the two, it consist of the Niwa Garden, a commercial area, a residential area and a proposed market. Niwa got its name from the japanese translation of "garden", Niwa literally meaning garden in japanese. A couple of decades ago, in place of what is now Niwa, was a mountain that had to be manually mined away peice by peice. Temporary housing is located in the Niwa district.

History
The town of Natsuragi was originally founded by the parents of Shoji Natsuragi, whose names were lost to time. The first buildings in the town were located in the now Tani district. The town was originally called Natsuragi Tani, tani translating to valley. But as the town eventually expanded, it was renamed to just Natsuragi. At the time, the founders wasn't aware that the Natsuragi was sandwiched inbetween 3 other towns. Only a little time passed before the emperor of the Aurlunor Velande took a surprise trip to Natsuragi, and said the buildings were "questionable looking", which prompted the founders to rebuild almost everything in the town. They later invited other people nearby to help with the planning and construction of the Tani district. One of these people were Shoji Natsuragi. Shoji and his brother Izanagi began working in rice paddies to sustain the town's need for food. When the founders found Shoji old enough the bestowed the role of mayor to his name. Swiftly after his wife no longer showed interest to Shoji, he showed a somewhat power-hungry demanor. Shoji would often taunt and unfairly punish the inhabitants in Natsuragi. This lead to him recieving a lot of backlash and eventually went silent. During this time Koichi, Shoji's son, had went off to Lhumar to persue his studies, while away, he stumbled across Ayako, his future wife. When Koichi and Ayako returned to Natsuragi, they found Shoji sick and fraile. Due to this Shoji entrusted Koichi as the new mayor of Natsuragi, Koichi and Ayako would invite Koichi's cousin, Miura Natsuragi. Together they would shape what is now the Niwa district and would renovate lots of the old structures scattered around the town.
