Battle for Shiro no Yojin

The Battle for Shiro no Yojin was the unsuccessful Crane attack to retake Shiro no Yojin from the Lion.

War
In 1122 the Battle of the Forgotten Tide at Toshi Ranbo had raised the tensions between the clans, and the Crane army invaded the Plains of Battle. The Crane assaulted the former Crane fortress of Shiro no Yojin which was defended by Akodo Isebo against the Crane commander Kakita Gensa.

Legacy of the Forge
These events had been fuelled by the Scorpion, as preparations of the incoming Scorpion Coup. The traitor Kitsu Goden and the instigator Bayushi Sozui unleashed the Legacy of the Forge over the battlefield, possessing samurai of both sides for a much more slaughter.
