Hundreds of years later, the Zebak took the strongest of the Rin slaves as warriors to fight against the Travelers and the Maris-folk.

Minds wiped by the Zebak, they remained unaware that half of their kinsmen were still enslaved across the sea, keeping their sad history recorded on silk paintings, as the people of the Valley of Gold had done also.
