As their justification for massacring the Awl and seizing the lands of the Awl'dan, the Letherii Empire invented rumours of a warmongering alliance between the Awl, the Akrynnai, the Bolkando, the D'rhasilhani, and the Saphinand Kingdom. The belligerent Horde of the Bolkando Conspiracy was said to be readying to march on the empire's eastern territories. In truth, the Awl despised the Ak'rynnai.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 1, US HC p.39-40
