Toor became exceedingly wealthy due to its subjugation of the [[Laeooy Coast]], which allowed it to take advantage of abundant metal deposits. The country quickly experienced a rise in wealth inequality, with the mines being served by families who were forced to sell themselves into serfdom to mine owners, in order to make a living.
A community leader by the name of [[Keetoh]] tried to ignite a freedom movement for several years, when one of his loyal followers, a miner named [[Gened]], discovered that he can wield [[belequel]] as if it was a piece of cotton. Gened pledged to use his powers not to enrich himself and his family, but to free his people from Toor's yoke.
Toor had two major cities in the area: a military fortress called [[Hohned]] and the seat of Toor's royalty, [[Chusoh]]. Using his powers, Gened quickly freed many of the local miners, by using surprise attacks with belequel stones against mine guards. News of Gened and his powers allowed Keetoh to quickly assemble a sizeable army and being the uprising.
The army attacked Hohned, with Gened using belequel stones to destroy city gates and induce panic in Hohned's army, killing dozens upon dozens of soldiers by throwing belequel stones at them. Hohned was defeated, but the battle ended up lasting for several days, with heavy rebel losses. With most of the Hohned army still being intact and simply retreating to Chusoh, Gened believed that they must follow it and confront them at Chusoh.
