| Gened continued to disagree, very vocally. Keetoh was afraid that Gened, whose standing in the community was that of a hero, would sway people's opinion on the matter, and had him imprisoned. He then proclaimed the sovereignty of the whole area and called it Commonground, describing it as a land of free people. His close aide, [[Gozodōroh]], became the general of the Commonground and began recruiting and training the army. | | Gened continued to disagree, very vocally.

− | Meanwhile, [[King Tōrmoh]] had indeed organized his forces to suppress the rebellion and sent a 40,000-strong army under the command of Lord Oroat. Lord Oroat decided to attack the miners from behind and maneuvered around the area to emerge from the Yassa-pao valley. He quickly reclaimed several territories, but got bogged down in guerilla warfare with the decentralized communities of miners, who knew the area better and were willing to retreat and then come back to their mines. Lord Oroat then set up camp at one of the pro-Chusoh mines with the intention to resume his conquest in spring. | + | Meanwhile, [[Gole Tōrmoh]] had indeed organized his forces to suppress the rebellion and sent a 40,000-strong army under the command of Lord Oroat.

| 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. | | 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.

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

− | But while this could have been good news for Chusoh, by this time Chusoh did not exist: as Agzor approached Keetoh's camp, he found out that he was known among the populace as Tōrmoh's Pet Destroyer and that King Tōrmoh and his court used Agzor's loyalty to the King as a weapon against the miners for many years now. This angered Agzor, so instead of destroying Keetoh's camp, he turned around, came to Chusoh and set fire to the palace. As Chusoh was mostly built with wood, fire quickly expanded and destroyed the whole city, killing many people. This had effectively dissolved the state of Toor, as the set of unexpected events - the destruction of Hohned, the prolonged violence at Commonground and then the destruction of Chusoh and the death of most of its court - had Deeras and Gaskal secede and stay away from the events at Commonground. | + | But while this could have been good news for Chusoh, by this time Chusoh did not exist: as Agzor approached Keetoh's camp, he found out that he was known among the populace as Tōrmoh's Pet Destroyer and that Gole Tōrmoh and his court used Agzor's loyalty to the Gole as a weapon against the miners for many years now.

| Not only that, but an army from the west led by a superhero warrior Jolder attacked Floroh and then Jhet. Lord Oroat confronted Jolder at Jhet, but lost. He managed to save part of his army and retreat to the east, bringing worrying news of this conqueror to the miners and uniting forces with some of them. This was happening as Gozodōroh's army was just defeated by Rolee. Lord Oroat's insistence on uniting against Jolder convinced most of the Laeooy Coast to ignore the fate of the resistance army, which led it its decisive defeat at the hand of the Rolee just a month later. | | Not only that, but an army from the west led by a superhero warrior Jolder attacked Floroh and then Jhet.
