[edit] Early life
Iweko was appointed chief magistrate in Fukurokujin Mura. Her task in the fortune's village was to restore order and tranquility. Unfortunatly, many establishements offered gambling, sake, geisha and were hosts to illegal activities. Some of these establishements were owned by the Rokugo vassal family of the Bayushi. Her investigations also forced the Lotus Kolat sect to cease all activities in the region to avoid discovery. [1]
[edit] Kitsuki Daimyo
Iweko succeeded Kitsuki Mizuochi as Kitsuki Daimyo, although the exact nature of how the succession came about is unclear.[citation needed]
[edit] Rain of Blood
Shortly before the Rain of Blood, Iweko was called to investigate the discovery of a cell of Bloodspeakers in the village of Heibeisu. The Bloodspeakers apparently drew the attention of the Dragon Clan magistrates intentionally, possibly to cloud the precognition of Togashi Satsu leading up to the Rain of Blood.[2]
[edit] Contender to the Throne
Some among the Dragon Clan believed in 1169 that Iweko was a strong candidate for the Empty Throne, without denying the claim Togashi Satsu had to the position.[3]
[edit] Medinat al-Salaam
Iweko was among those considered by the Scorpion Clan in 1170 as the Dragon Clan ambassador to Medinat al-Salaam, and chosen by Yogo Honami as someone who could be dangerous and should be sent. [4]
[edit] Empress
Iweko attended the Celestial Tournament held in 1170 to determine who would become the next Emperor. Iweko won the tournament, and became Empress Iweko I.[5]
[edit] Imperial Positions
Iweko appointed the following people to fill major positions in her new dynasty:
- Bayushi Hisoka, Imperial Chancellor
- Daigotsu Susumu, Imperial Advisor
- Yoritomo Utemaro, Imperial Treasurer
- Moto Jin-sahn, Shogun
- Togashi Satsu, Voice of the Emperor
[edit] Winter Court
Iweko attended her first Winter Court as Empress at Kyuden Bayushi in 1170.[6]
