Hiruma Iyatu

Hiruma Iyatu was a samurai-ko and scout of the Crab Clan. In 1127 she alongside Hiruma Kenchuko were part of a scouting party that guided a Crab fleet toward Otosan Uchi, to assault the Imperial City. Every scout party had to pour a sack of flammable oil onto a stack of wood, and exactly one hour later empty a second sack of oil, lighting a fire. The Crab fleet moved silently through the black waters, along the coast at midnight. The fires allowed the vessels to see where the shoreline was, sailing safely toward its destiny, Along the Coast at Midnight in the called Kisada's Blockade. Time of the Void, p. 54
