| Gened brought a pile of belequel stones and began hurling them at the city gates, making large holes in thick wood. He also threw stones at the walls, with belequel piercing them without effort. When the gates were destroyed, Hohned's army began pouring out, but Gened continued hurling the stones, each of which would go through several soldiers at the same time. This incited panic and the army began to turn back. As they were fleeing, the rebels charged and entered the city, dealing heavy losses to Hohned's soldiers, who were taken by surprise. | Gened brought a pile of belequel stones and began hurling them at the city gates, making large holes in thick wood.

| - | The battle, however, ended up lasting for several days, with significant rebel losses. Gened was kept away from action, so that he could use stones to destroy towers and barricades from afar. The rebel army was led and coordinated by Keetoh and his sister [[Tareetoh]]. As more and more people joined Keetoh's army, including the serfs and slaves of Hohned, Hohned's forces left the city, retreating to the south, towards another large Toor city called Chusoh. | + | The battle, however, ended up lasting for several days, with significant rebel losses.

| Gened suggested they spare anyone who agrees to join him under their flag, even if they are a noble, and kill anyone who does not. His suggestion, however, was largely ignored and most city nobles who have not escaped by that time had been killed. The rebels began pillaging the city and feasting, although Gened urged them to pause and begin organizing for the campaign on Chusoh. One story states that when Gened called upon several of the miners, returning with food and jewelry from the fallen city, they laughed at him and said: "What are you going to do, kill us with the stones?" | Gened suggested they spare anyone who agrees to join him under their flag, even if they are a noble, and kill anyone who does not.

| Since Gened was not only a superhero warrior, but also viewed as a true hero who instead of using his powers for his own gain, used them to save his people, Keetoh was worried that Gened's opposition would undermine his vision for [[Commonground]]. As his distrust grew, he decided to temporarily eliminate Gened. He had him secretly arrested and imprisoned in an underground corridor of an abandoned mine. | Since Gened was not only a superhero warrior, but also viewed as a true hero who instead of using his powers for his own gain, used them to save his people, Keetoh was worried that Gened's opposition would undermine his vision for [[Commonground]].

| - | However, Gened's childhood friend, [[Forl]], found out and began sneaking into the mine to talk to him. Forl put together a close-knit group of Gened's supporters. Together, they managed to forge a mail armor for Gened that contained small amounts of belequel. They also forged a belequel-strengthened sword. | + | However, Gened's childhood friend, [[Forl]], found out and began sneaking into the mine to talk to him.

They also began forging a belequel-strengthened sword. There was only a small slit between the abandoned mine door and the wall, and so Forl used that to pass one or two mail armor rings to Gened every day. Gened was then linking the rings into an armor. |

| However, as the army began to knife further and further into rebel territory, guerilla warfare began to slow it down. Additionally, Lord Oroat had to leave garrisons to defend larger mines, such as Sutimoh, Rolee and Goskoh: the serfs would abandon them when confronted with Oroat's army, only to return later and either reclaim the mine or attack those left to guard it. So, Oroat's army was effectively fighting several ongoing battles at the same time. | However, as the army began to knife further and further into rebel territory, guerilla warfare began to slow it down.

| - | By the beginning of 73, Lord Oroat was still tied up roughly between Goskoh and Koatooy. Realizing that the rebels are trying to wear him down, Oroat regrouped and marched to the Lion of Chusoh, which was one of the few mines, loyal to Toor, and stationed there for the rest of the winter. | + | By the beginning of 73, Lord Oroat was still tied up roughly between Goskoh and Koatooy.

Agzor had an uncontrolled ability to dramatically heat up the ground around him, to the point that water would being to boil and trees would go up in flames. In order to limit the destructive effect, Agzor had to wear boots on thick metal platforms, which would reduce the effect. | + | Meanwhile, Tōrmoh's court managed to get the support of [[Agzor]], a young superhero warrior who lived in the cold plains to the east of the Quoon River. Agzor had an uncontrolled ability to dramatically heat up anything he touches, to the point that if he stood on the ground barefoot, steam would go up from the ground, water would begin to boil and trees would go up in flames. In order to save people and his surroundings from the destructive effect, Agzor had to wear boots on thick wooden platforms and wear gloves. |
