Battle with the Rocs

The Battle with the Rocs began while the Ki-Rin had left Rokugan to explore the rest of the world, in the Ki-Rin's Exodus. They encountered the Rocs, which attacked the Clan. Using a powerful spell, Iuchi caused a rockslide in the mountain pass that killed not only the Rocs but also a large number of Ki-Rin samurai and one of Shinjo's sons. With the pass back to Rokugan, the Ujik-hai lands, or the Burning Sands, now blocked by the landslide, the Ki-Rin split up to look for another way back home. Way of the Unicorn, p. 34
The riders of the rocs most probably would be the Hawk Riders, who lived in these mountains. Burning Sands, Appendix, pp. 283-End
