"The first attacks by the Fanoran assassins were catastrophic and horrid. Even Buroba does not dare try to recall what had happened. After much turmoil, the Keid gathered from all the villages and erected a stone fortress called Daarbang on the edge of the jungle and the pine forest that led to the mountains. This fortress was designed to allow the Keid to spot any approaching Fanoran and to stop them before they reached the jungle. Daarbang was a huge success for a long time.

Mother Gehmakemn despised this fortress, and so she sent one of her six infamous sons in to assassinate the fortress's commander in hopes that it would force the Keid to abandon the mighty structure. This son was known as Meheral, and he succeeded in murdering Daarbang's commander, though he was shot through the neck afterwards, thus dying painfully. Though this infuriated Gehmakemn, she was overall pleased that the Keid indeed ran from the fortress, thinking it was too close to the mountains to give them enough time to prepare. There were also powerful rumours that Meheral's ghost haunts the ruins, looking for Keid to unleash vengeance on."
