Shosuro Mokusei

Shosuro Mokusei was a magistrate of the Scorpion Clan. The poet Mirumoto Amano took his attention, as hs works were enjoyed by both a Lion and a Unicorn general, clans which were in a brisk of open war. Some guessed that this shared interest could facilitate peaceful negotiations by drawing both to the same poetry reading. Mokusei abducted Amano, despite he operating outside of his jurisdiction. His machinations were troubled by Shika Tsuneko, a Speardancer who was protecting the poet from the shadows. She was injured but managed to escape and returned with the aid of a group of samurai. Mokusei claimed that the poet was a criminal who had key information about the murder of the Scorpion's lord.
