== Utagu's Son ==
In 1157 Hio and N-kithith were Kuni Kiyoshi's guides in the Shadowlands when he was hunting Mohai. Hio and the nezumi fled near the City of the Lost, leaving alone Kiyoshi. After both Crab came back home no one believed Kiyoshi because Utagu's son was the only who witnessed it. Kiyoshi came again to the City, but was wounded and tainted, and Hio and N-kithith brought him to Te'tik'kir. Prelude to Darkness, Part Two: Omen, by Rich Wulf
== Nezumi Conflicts ==
When Yoee'trr was traveling through the Shadowlands with a Asako Hirariko, they came upon the remains of the Tattered Ear Tribe which had been attacked by another nezumi tribe. Yoee'trr and Hirariko were taken by the Crippled Bone Tribe to see the shaman Te'tik'kir. Hirariko met Hio while the nezumi came to a meeting. Yoee'trr's deductive reasoning led the gathered nezumi to understand that an unknown tribe of nezumi, who were no longer nezumi, had been behind the attack on the Tattered Ear.
