In 1198 Sosuke moved to Twin Forks City in the Colonies, as a representative of the Daidoji Trading Council. She and the city's chief magistrate Kakita Sasa devised how to manage the conflict between the Crane and Mantis there. Sosuke raised the tariffs on Yoritomo Minhiko's cargo, who was goaded to challenge the Crane. Sasa was Sosuke's champion and defeated Yoritomo Tsang in a duel to death. All Mantis ships were charged tariffs at a higher rate since. The Shadow’s Embrace, Part 2: The Crane, by Nancy Sauer
