Devon Torran had a dream where the nine true gods visited him in his sleep, and he went on to lead a successful siege on Ironhold, marking the beginning of the Great Conquering that ultimately led to the unification of the 7 Kingdoms under the High Kingdom of Karkanna.
With the success of the first siege, House Torran gained significant power and influence within the newly formed High Kingdom. Lord Devon Torran was widely respected and admired for his tactical brilliance and leadership skills. He quickly rose to become one of the most powerful lords in the realm, and it wasn't long before he was crowned as the first High King of Karkanna. Under High King Devon's rule, House Torran continued to flourish and expand their power. They were known for their exceptional military prowess and were often called upon to lead the kingdom's armies into battle. The Torran armies were feared throughout the land, and many lords sought their support and protection.

It was said that their hair was a sign of their connection to the gods, and many common folk believed that House Torran held divine favor.
