Over the centuries it was heavily contested by the Lion, Crane and Scorpion. Many great battles were fought here, including the Battle of Beiden Pass in 1127.
[edit] Destruction of Beiden Pass
In 1150 the majority of the spirit army was led into Beiden Pass by the Scorpion Clan in an attempt to gain an advantage. In reality Phoenix and Scorpion shugenja were lying in wait to collapse the pass onto the army. Most of the Hantei's army was killed, and among the killed were Hida Tsuneo, Hantei XVI's bodyguard. This was effectively the end of the War of Spirits.
