Preambles[]
Oni attacking the Wall
In 1171 a huge wave of Oni and other Shadowlands creatures attacked the Kaiu Wall, seeking to flee from something more dangerous deep in the Shadowlands. [1] The assault was relentless as it seemed like the entire Shadowlands had emptied in the attack. [2] The Crab asked aid to keep safe the Wall and the Lion Clan Champion Akodo Shigetoshi joined the defenders alongside with the Utaku Daimyo Utaku Yu-Pan. [3] The Shadowlands assaults took a heavy toll on the Crab forces. [4]
Destroyer's Horde attack[]
Bolstered by the Unicorn and Lion reinforcements, the samurai were able to hold the Wall. However, this was just a prelude to the real battle to come as just behind the Oni hordes were the armies of the Destroyer, fresh and ready for battle, led by a tiger-like demon, the Rakshasa General. The Crab Clan Champion confronted him in a personal duel, but he could not match the shapeshifting abilities and supernatural powers of the Rakshasa. Kaiu Taru interceded and convinced Kuon to leave. Taru exposed a jade and gunpowder cache and dropped a torch into it, detonating a large section of the Wall and wounded the Rakshasa. [5]
Aftermath[]
The Destroyers overwhelmed the exhausted samurai and breached the wall, letting hordes of Destroyers pour into Rokugan. [5]
Known casualties[]
