Porteek references several toorian sources that explain that the brutal treatment was not simply due to Mosk-Sopoh's personal hatred of Tyrna and how its gole embarrassed his father, but that he needed to be sure that he won't be attacked from behind when marching further west. But Mosk-Sopoh ended up leading his troops back to Gaskal due to the untimely demise of his sister, Goolytoh, with whom they were very close, having grown up together.
