Following the death of the Kandou lord, Kayto set out into his newly gained lands to ascertain the damage and attempt to rebuild. What he found instead was that the people from the land over dying on his borders. The same lord that had assaulted his lord’s lands had in the process destroyed his own. With nothing left to lose, his people had evacuated their battle-torn lands and ventured to his in hope of salvation.
Kayto was encourage by his own attendants to kill these people and fortify his own borders, but Kayto instead offered to let them in and provided them shelter.
