The Second Battle of Beiden Pass was the battle that marked the end of the War of Spirits.

Preambles[]

The Emperor Toturi I marched the bulk of his army south through Beiden Pass to join a large waiting Scorpion force. The Spirit Army clashed with them in the Battle of Quiet Winds. At a crucial moment the Scorpion appeared to change sides and joined the spirits, so Toturi's army withdrew through the Pass. [1]

Battle[]

Hantei XVI ordered Hida Tsuneo to send his forces in pursuit. When most of the spirit army was in the Pass, [1] Phoenix shugenja collapsed it using the spell Devastation of Stone, burying and destroying the spirit army. [2]

Aftermath[]

The Second Battle of Beiden Pass, one of these times in history when madness had inspired incredible victories, [3] was effectively the end of the War of Spirits. [4] In the Lion' side of the pass a small shrine was built, as a memorial to all who died in the war on both sides. [5]
