Night of Falling Stars

The three week siege of Shiro no Yogin by the Akodo Legions who seemed destined to capture the castle from the Daidoji troops occupying it.

Preferring death over surrender, every man, woman and child leapt from the castle walls to the raging river below. The torches they carried traced their paths in the sky, resembling a night of falling stars.
