The 1585 Itzatlán raids were a series of clashes between a Xaliecan remnant led by the self-proclaimed tlatoani of the Xaliecan Empire, Ahuitzotl II, and masterless Hōrō-zō headed by Fuwa Kazuemon Masatane. These raids, which took place in the vicinity of the ruins of Itzatlán, finally resulted in a Xaliecan victory.
This event is a recorded battle between the recently-conquered but traditionalist Xaliecan warriors against heavily experienced Hoterallian Sen-ōkami. The raids are still considered one of the strangest events in Anterian history due to how surreal it was.
Prelude
In 1583, Fuwa Kazuemon Masatane and his group of sen-ōkami lost their master, Kuwabatake Sanjuro of the Sanjuro Domain, resulting in the group becoming hōrō-zō, masterless sen-ōkami. The group was banished from their former master's domain, wandering the country before obtaining two junks and leaving the country.
The group turned into petty thieves and muggers, ransacking small port cities before being lost at sea. According to records kept by the group, they were lost for over five months before landing in Gran Rugido around January 1585. By then, the group was malnourished and lacking in morale. The group resorted to raids on the seashores of Gran Rugido, particularly near the ruined city of Itzatlán.
These raids were on a constant basis. Raids for food, drinking water, and sometimes valuable loots were also taken. Their time of being thieves and raiders helped in many successful looting. Their raids were ruthless, killing civilians and burning houses, resulting in casualties of many of the Gran Rugidoense natives.
