Dispite the fires god bluster he had suffered a defeat, the Kurgens main settlement where they had done their blood sports, forged their weapons and gathered their slaves had been hit. The Kurgen people were not simple tribesmen anymore, they were a warrior race and a civilisation in their own right and they still moved as one big tribe. It just took up more space. With that settlement damaged and his supplies raided, it was a nasty blow by the cunning water god. Killing many people and denting their faith in their god of war to protect them.

Upon hearing this thought he Kurgen warriors were infurated, never before had they suffered a raid upon their own settlement and never before had they suffered a defeat like this. A sneaky and cunning nature of the blow made it all the more painful for them, a weakness had been exposed in their plans and they were frustrated and enraged by it. The campaign to the plains was abandoned, they took what they had already captured, slaves, women and supplies and made double time back home. It took them a great deal of time to cross the land though, back over the mountain pass and into their own plains once more. Where they discovered the damage for themselves, many screamed in rage and pledged their lives to vengeance. A religious frenzy began as they set about rebuilding their settlement into an actual city, refusing to ever again be humbled in such a way. They built stronger houses, an actual defense around their land too in the form of a long ditch that was made on the sweat of their backs.

The Kurgen were a strong people, hardship and toil they were used too, life on the plains wasnt easy with less water as grass didnt grow so well and animals became weak and skinnier but they survived. They were too determined to give up in anyway, they resorted to old tricks to find water. To digging holes to find what litte ground water remained, even drinking the blood of animals to get nutrition. Something that became a tradition with them and a sign of strenght, an arrow through the neck of a bison before patching it up, the big herd animals could take it.

The defeat may have dented their pride but the hole was filled with determined resolve to strive and never make the same mistake twice. It changed the Kurgen to some degree, they actually took the time and thought to build properly and forge their settlement into a city, one filled with slaves and the trophies of their conquest. They named it Krashla after their god, a merging of his various names, after all the city had been forged in his image. Times were hard, but they endured and their faith was made stronger in the end.

As for the Khaines threat to dampen the light, such a thing he did not have the power for since the runs rays touched all the land and nothing save removing it completely could burry Zaroths people in darkness but everyone else too. However he had power enough remaining to weaken it, putting them in a perpertual winter of soughts which made their crops struggle and their people wrap up warm. A bitter chill surrounding the coast at all times. It did however take all his power, keeping it in a constant state of draining. There was no change in Khaines diminished power.
