Battle of Quiet Winds

The Battle of Quiet Winds was a defeat of the Empire forces, to lure the Spirit Army into the Beiden Pass, where they would be destroyed.

Battle
Toturi marched the bulk of his army south through Beiden Pass to join a large waiting Scorpion force. In a day which was still and sultry the Empire and the Spirit Army clashed. However, at a crucial moment the Scorpion appeared to change sides and joined the spirits. Toturi's army withdrew, while a sacrificial Lion rearguard prevented a total rout.

Aftermath
Toturi's army retreated northward through the Pass. At the urging of Bayushi Baku, Hantei XVI ordered Hida Tsuneo to send his forces in pursuit. They entered in the trap devised by the Scorpion. When most of the spirit army was in the Pass, Phoenix shugenja collapsed it, burying and destroying the spirit army. It marked the end of the War of Spirits.
