Several days after the discovery of his abilities, he took several small belequel stones, that nonetheless would require dozens of men to even lift, and threw them at the guards of the mine their family worked in, killing the guards instantly. Gened then proclaimed the mine to be the property of his family, and his family freed. In a passionate speech right outside the mine, he pledged to use his powers to free the miners from Hohned's yoke.

He was surprised to learn that his family was starkly against it: they hoped that he could instead become a wealthy man and improve their lot, but now they feared that they would simply be killed by the state as rebels. In the next few days, Gened's elderly mother tried to have him murdered, but he was secretly warned by his younger sister Dareened. Gened then left his home.

When the miners learned about Gened's family trying to murder him, some of them conspired to retaliate and managed to kill one of his brothers and his mother.

While normally a slave or a serf uprising would not be considered too alarming, the unexpected destruction of Hohned dealt a serious blow to the stability of Toor: in the previous decade [[King Tōrmoh]] barely managed to hold the country together. His control of Laeooy Coast was one of the factors that helped him placate Gaskal and Deeras, powerful polities of their own that have multiple times considered seceding. This new development required an immediate response, especially given Keetoh's proclamations of the area as the new polity, Commonground. Additionaly, the King was already old and, given his son's death, the court was worried about finding a suitable successor.

King Tormoh installed [[Lord Oroat]] as [[tarnarian_military_ranks|Jeenor]], head of the army, and provided him with a 40,000-strong force, while deploying 20,000 men between Hohned and Chusoh.

Instead of confronting rebels from the direction of Hohned, Lord Oroat had the army go around the area and attack Commonground from the west, quickly reclaiming less defended territories. These early victories were important for King Tormoh, who immediately informed Gaskal and Deeras that the situation was under control.
