== Brief summary ==
Wealth inequality in Toor led to a serf uprising that unexpectedly destroyed Toor's key fortress Hohned. Toor sent an army to quell the uprising, while the rebels began assembling an army to defend themselves.
Toor's army was not able to immediately defeat the uprising and stationed in the area for the winter.
Wanting to speed the dissolution of the rebellion, Toor asked a loyal superhero warrior to destroy the rebel camp, but ended up angering him and he burned down the capital of Toor, killing most of the court. At about the same time a warlord by the name of Jolder invaded the area and destroyed much of Toor's army. This ended Toor as a country.
Rebels began infighting and ended up defeating the army of the original uprising, while some united against Jolder. One of the rebels, a superhero warrior named Gened, was able to forge peace with Jolder by impressing him with his bravery and abilities. They then united against the Empire of Barud, which used the disarray in the north to prepare for a major campaign.
Five kings of the north - Jolder, Gened, Agzor, Noana Rolee and Svanor Fogon - stood together against the army of Barud.

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.

Wanting to speed up their victory, Tōrmoh's court managed to get the support of [[Agzor]], a young [[superhero warrior]] who lived in the cold plains to the east of Quoon River. Agzor was tasked to use his powers to incinerate Keetoh's camp.

And this is where the simple "rebels against mine owners" narrative began to fall apart.

First, some miners began local wars with each other, trying to use the situation to fight out old rivalries or simply gain more land. In some cases, mine owners would provide money and even troops to their former serfs in order to maintain some sort of ownership in the land. One of the most aggressive was Rolee, a mine which belonged to the wealthy courtier [[Noana Rolee]]. So by the time Gozodōroh was ready to march on Lord Oroat, she had to first establish the dominance of her own forces against several of the other rebel armies. She was successful at first, but was eventually killed, with her army decisively defeated by the Rolee.

Second, a small group of Gened's followers found out about his imprisonment and helped him escape. Gened then abandoned Keetoh, who would later perish when Rolee would overtake Koalderood, the mine where Keetoh's camp was based.
