Battle of Stolen Graves

After the deaths of the Lion Clan Champion and Crab Clan Champion in 509 and the Crane Clan Champion in 510 the Scorpion Clan Champion Bayushi Rikoji dispatched the Magistrate Soshi Takasho to investigate [[Yajinden, the man who had gifted to all the four champions a sword each.

With the aid of the legionnaire Akodo Minobe, Takasho discovered the Bloodspeaker cult and it's leader Iuchiban planning to reanimate the bodies in the imperial crypts to overthrow the Emperor and place Iuchiban on the throne.

The Clans united against the cult and crushed them.

A Tomb was constructed by the Kaiu to hold the spirit of Iuchiban.

Yajinden's mind was erased and he was put to work as a gardener in the Emperor's gardens.

The Emperor issued an edict stating that all bodies from then on would be cremated rather than buried, preventing the use of the bodies of honored ancestors as vassals of evil magic.
