Memo: Hall of Fire
Obtained: Tenth Drop, upon entering the building
Type: Location

The hall where the eternal Forbidden Flame was kept. This undying fire was the source of the flames used in local rituals.

The use of sacred flames is documented in many religions, but those on Mt. Hikami had a unique use for the fire.

The Forbidden Flame kept the Black Water from pouring out of the Shadowspring. It was necessary to carry the flame in order to safely approach the Black Water. The Flamekeepers in charge of tending the fire were required to purify themselves before being allowed near it.

火継堂(ひつぎどう)

日上山信仰で使われる特別な「火」で
ある「忌火」の種火となる篝火を守って
いた場所。

「忌火」とは神道などで儀式に使われる
火のことを指すが、日上山信仰での
「忌火」は特別な役割を持っていた。


その火には、隠世との境界である「黒キ澤」
から溢れ出す夜泉の力を退ける力があり、
黒キ澤に近づくには忌火が必要とされた。

「火継守」と呼ばれる男たちは、
厳しく精進潔斎し、
忌火を絶やさぬよう守ったという。
