In 1130 the Scorpion Clan had been exiled to the Burning Sands and were enslaved by the Senpet after the Rokugani were defeated. The Tale of the Robber and the Caliph (Rulebook Story, LBS - Shadow of the Tyrant), by Patrick Kapera Kiyoshi discussed with Gaheris to attack the Senpet to free them. The Khan refused, believing it would be challenging prophecy, and it would only give problems to the Moto. Kiyoshi alongside Moto Marik took half of the Clan to fight the Scarab Empire warriors. When Gaheris realized it took the rest of the clan to avoid the total demise of Kiyoshi's supportes. The Senpet, by Patrick Kapera

But a sudden sandstorm swept up around them, and the will of the Lady washed them away into the sand.

Kiyoshi's forces were soon joined by the Yodotai, who returned the lost Banner of the Ki-Rin as a show of friendship, Offensive Terrain (LBS - Secrets and Lies flavor) and Ra'Shari. The combined Horde (now known as the Erba'a Alliance), also swelled its ranks with many former slaves of the Senpet, now hell-bent on revenge, the Hanif and the Rokugani Scorpion, which had been freed by the intervention of the small prophet, the Hooded Ronin called Duqaq.
