Destroyers, demons, and dead walkers joined warriors in each army of the Falestos brother. Herena from the west sent her response. She was neutral, but she relented to the emperor's demands. King Bartolome from the kingdom of Karkat refused to
take sides. However, Klastos wants the loyalty of Bartolome and his Chantawarriors.

wins the civil war.
