Battle of Bloodied Honor

The Battle of Bloodied Honor took place beside Shinden Asahina, in the Fields of the Morning Sun.

Background
After several Crane castles already fallen, the Crane-Phoenix forces led by Daidoji Uji and a young samurai-ko Shiba Tsukune made their last stand against a shadowlands army of oni and madmen led by the False Hoturi.

Doji Hoturi returned
Before the battle Mirumoto Daini with a combined army of ronin and Naga appeared, and with them Lord Hoturi, the real one.

Battle
Before the Shadowlands army's first charge a Necromancer called out Hoturi, but Shiba Tsukune took the challenge under Crane Champion permission. The samurai-ko charged down and cut down the necromancer with one stroke from her naginata. The Naga charged into his ranks, with their archers fired arrows into the air.

Maho-tsukai raised every dead Crane bushi, adding more mampower on the dark side, even against the magic opposition of Asahina Tomo.

Lord Hoturi led Daidoji Uji's forces against the personal guard of the False Hoturi. Their duel was mighty indeed, but in the end, Hoturi crushed the false one, removing his head from his body with one single stroke. The army was routed, encircled and burned.
