== Skirmish with the Naga ==
Unknown for most of the Empire the Naga began to awaken in the Shinomen Forest. A Naga force passing along the northernmost border of the Scorpion lands was attacked by Scorpion troops. The Naga defended themselves and crushed the Scorpion aggressors, and in a rage, the Great Clan mounted an attack against them. Bayushi Togai led his Black Cabal unit, entering the Shinomen alongside with Bayushi Yokuan and his bowmen and Bayushi Tasu leading a unit of Scorpion's Strike. They engaged with a Naga force led by the Isha, and the Rokugani were forced to retreat. The battle never became public knowledge. Clan War: Desperate Journey, pp. 32-35
== Scorpion Coup ==
Yokuan participated in the Scorpion Coup in 1123. He was tasked by Bayushi Shoju with holding the south wall of Otosan Uchi, but the south wall was the first to fall under the Lion assault. Bayushi Yokuan (Scorpion Clan Coup, Scroll 1 flavor)
== After the Coup ==
Yokuan fled into the shadows, regreting him for cowardice. He scarred his skin with tremendous cuts just to 'see if the blood still runs Scorpion red', so many said that Yakuan had gone mad. Winter Court: Kyuden Kakita, p. 81
=== Shinobi began to fall in Shadows ===
Of the seventeen men who were to join the hidden Shosuro Shinobi school with Shosuro Nishiko, only ten had survived. The rest faded into nothing, as once did the Goju family.

=== Return of the Scorpion ===
