The Battle of Sorrow's Road was fought in 1126 in the Badger lands, in an attempt to stop the rampage of Hideo no Oni.
== Battle ==
Hideo no Oni had burned several villages, and slaughtering as it went. The Badger Clan forces set themselves against it, joined by a small handful of ise zumi and a few Shinseist monks. They eventually settled into a campaign of constant harassment, repeatedly engaging the oni, only to fade away as it retaliated. A last stand was made by the Badger Clan Champion Ichiro Kosho at Shiro Ichiro. The oni razed the castle to the ground and all present were killed to a man.
