==In Midnight Tides==
Letherii king Ezgara Diskanar hoped to end the war with the Tiste Edur before it began by launching a pre-emptive attack on the Edur villages.Midnight Tides, Chapter 14, US SFBC p.430-431
Arahathan, Enedictal, and Nekal Bara prepared a ritual to attack Tiste Edur villages near Kraig's Landing. Acquitor Seren Pedac tried in vain to persuade them from doing so. The mages initially took up position twenty paces apart from each other but Arahathan and Enedictal changed position, first appearing two hundred paces away on either side of Nekal Bara, then double the distance, indicating a huge ritual. According to a soldier, the Ceda (Kuru Qan) himself was working through the three mages as well as the rest of the cadre which was strung out another league in both directions. Blue and green light linked the motionless mages, like lightning wound around a rope, which started crackling and spitting, the sound becoming a hissing roar and eventually reaching out beyond the hills to either side. When the rope sprang loose, a wave launched skywards and attacked the villages ahead, in its wake also destroying some Letherii soldiers who were drawn into it. The Edur villages were obliterated.Midnight Tides, Chapter 15, UK MMPB p.552-556
Hull Beddict had however warned that such preemptive strikes might be made and the Edur had already evacuated the villagers.Midnight Tides, Chapter 15, UK MMPB p.560/561 
The Edur were now on the offensive, attacking the Letherii. Edur fleets seized First Maiden Fort and Fent Reach before approaching Trate accompanied by the same enslaved ancient water spirit that had wrecked the Trate waterfront weeks before. Arahathan, Nekal Bara, and a minimum of six minor sorcerors opposed them. Again dressed in his black furs, Arahathan was positioned at the far end of the main pier, facing the Edur fleet. He was to block the spirit from attacking whilst Nekal Bara would strike at its heart. Arahathan's very first attack however was countered and Nekal Bara saw how flesh curled away from his bones, his teeth, lips gone, curling in a maddening smile before his eyes collapsed inward. In that last moment she sensed his surprise and disbelief.Midnight Tides, Chapter 16, UK MMPB p.601-605
