Kuni Shikehime

Kuni Shikehime

Kuni Shikehime was a shugenja Witch Hunter of the Crab Clan.

Station

Shikehime was appointed to the Hiruma Castle. [1]

Destroyer War

In 1171 during the opening phase of the Destroyer War the Hiruma Castle remained behind the Destroyers' lines, defending it with aid of Mantis supplies transported by Yoritomo Iwata. The gaijin demon circumvented the castle [2] and it remained quiet for two years. In 1173 the monsters started to go crazy and they threw themselves against each other, and against the castle. In the Month of the Tiger they were two weeks to be short of supplies, and they began planning to cross the Shadowlands toward the Crab lands, whitout any hope to survive the exposure to the taint in the Shadowlands terrain. [1]

Released

This month Shikehime was out of the castle walls alongside with Hiruma Ichiro, a boy who still had not passed his gempukku. They found a wounded Hida Demopen, beside a dead oni. Shikehime tended him, but she knew they do not have any possibility to save his soul against the taint. Demopen later managed to explain what had happened in the Empire the months before. [1] Kali-Ma had died, ending the war. The Shadowlands taint would not be anymore a threat to the humans. The Master of Jigoku Daigotsu withheld it as part of a bargain with the Empress Iweko I, who had elevated the Spider Clan to Great Clan status. The people of Rokugan would be spared the Taint forever. [3]
