Isawa Jira

Isawa Jira was a Phoenix Clan shugenja. His balde was stolen in the night by bandits as he slept in an inn in Toshi Ranbo soon after the Battle of Toshi Ranbo in 1169. He had been poisoned with Night Silk Poison placed on the tea during the dinner. Jira, along with a group of samurai whose blades were also stolen tracked the bandits to an abandoned warehouse and fought to recover them. The outcome of the fight was not yet known, but it might be assumed that Jira and his associates won.
