| Mon Lon was not part of the cult, but seeing his father's standing losing ground, he took some of the family money and left for Delavire, where he used his funds to enter into slave trade. He began working the [[Delavire-Gonne slave trade corridor]], but quickly became known for his underhanded tactics, like providing information to the [[Kippies]] on his competitors' travel timetables and routes. He was described as arrogant and difficult to work with. Eventually, he made many enemies, but managed to became a relatively successful and important figure at Delavire. He hired a whole unit of personal guards and was unafraid of the Kippies due to establishing a good relationship with a number of [[Toor_(political_entity)|toors]]. However, in 1603 his slave caravan was attacked by one of the Kippie toors and he was taken prisoner and then sold as a slave at Delavire to his competitor. It turned out that his competitors sent out word to local Kippie toors that a reward was set for capturing Mon Lon and bringing him to Delavire alive. | | Mon Lon was not part of the cult, but seeing his father's standing losing ground, he took some of the family money and left for Delavire, where he used his funds to enter into slave trade.

− | For the next several years Mon Lon was utilized as a slave at his competitors' slave barracks. They sold him to one another in order to humiliate him. According to Mon Lon, he was frequently beaten and tortured. Eventually, however, his captors tired of denigrating their former enemy themselves and decided to move him on and sell him off. | + | For the next several years Mon Lon was utilized as a slave at his competitors' slave barracks.

| Mon Lon was sent to Gonne, but the caravan was attacked by Kippies and he was again captured by a Kippie toor, although a different one. He reached out to its chief and told his story: his previous standing, his cooperation with Kippies and his hardships as a slave. The chief was impressed by his life story and agreed to give him a chance to live as a free man in his toor, as long as he vows complete loyalty and allegiance to the toor. Mon Lon agreed. Over the next year he earned respect of the toor, by teaching them about slave traders' routes, ways of working and habits, which allowed the toor to rob several slave caravans. At some point in 1606 the toor was attacked by the guards of one of the slave traders that they had robbed and who was able to track them down. Most of the toor was killed, but some taken into slavery. Thus, a year later, Mon Lon was back on his way to Gonne where he was put on the market and bought by a [[Tref]] merchant named Done Darvis. | | Mon Lon was sent to Gonne, but the caravan was attacked by Kippies and he was again captured by a Kippie toor, although a different one.
