Mirumoto Umeka

Mirumoto Umeka was the Mirumoto Daimyo under the rule of the Dragon Clan Champion Togashi Toshimasa.

Great Famine
The Great Famine suffered in the Empire forced many Dragon refugees to leave their mountains to cross the Drowned Merchant River, entering in the Lion lands. Akodo Masaumi, son of the Lion Clan Champion, was sent to Shiro Mirumoto in 662, where he got an audience with Toshimasa. The meeting went wrong when Toshimasa did not acknowledge Masaumi. The Dragon Champion had retired in meditation since 661 and no one of his guests had got a word from him.

War with the Dragon
Toshimasa sent a cryptic letter to Umeka, who frustrated quickly assembled the Mirumoto Army. Masaumi crossed the border with the Lion Clan Army and attacked, which marked the start of the Dragon-Lion War. He was confronted by Umeka in the Battle of Drowned Merchant River, which was indecisive. The conflict escalated when the Phoenix sent forth the Shiba House Guard to aid the Dragon.

Peace agreement
In the last weeks of the year a truce, and later a peaceful agreement was arranged. Umeka publicly apologized for failing to deal with the refugees on her own, and the Phoenix agreed to give refuge to any Dragon who cross into their lands.
