Iwata transported supplies from the Empire to the coast near the Hiruma Castle. He aided the Crab defenders without profit. Storms of War, by Brian Yoon His aid allowed the Crab to survive. When in 1173 Kali-Ma died, the monsters started to go crazy and they threw themselves against each other, and against the castle defenders. Iwata could not maintain his supply line, and near the end of the year he knew the Hiruma Castle would face starvation. Luckily, Crab forces led by Hida Demopen reached the castle and the isolation of the castle ended in the Month of the Tiger. The Life of the Warrior, by Brian Yoon
