Editing Kael Arran Lore (section)

== History ==
Very little is known about the Kael Arran. The only source of information is the [[Writ of Refuge Text]] written by [[Nuhmudira]]. In it, Nuhmudira claimed that she was in possession of a text from [[Tirethas]] that tells the stories of the Kael Arran.<ref name=WritOfRefugeText />
<br /><br />
The Kael Arran existed up to a few hundred years prior to the founding of Gharu'n, when the Empire of Milantos was still young.<ref name=WritOfRefugeText /> This places their eradication circa 700 RC to as early as, perhaps, 400 RC.<ref name=HistoryOfAubereanVol5 />
<br /><br />
Prior to that, it seems that the Kael Arran had contact with other cultures. The text states that, although there were larger tribes and better equipped armies, none were able to beat the Kael Arran in battle,<ref name=WritOfRefugeText /> which would indicate that at least one other culture (and likely more) had fought them. The fact that Nuhmudira's text was from Tirethas could imply that the Kael Arran had contact with the [[Roulean]] army. The text also states that the Kael Arran had the ability to conquer the [[Naqut Desert]], as the [[Gharu'ndim]] would later do, but they did not desire to do so.<ref name=WritOfRefugeText /> This would indicate that they lived in or near the Naqut, and could mean the tribes they fought with may have been the [[Souia-Vey]] or, perhaps, the Gharu'ndim or their ancestors. The fact that the Milanteans chose to eradicate the Kael Arran would at least indicate that the young Empire had heard of the Kael Arran and their reputation.

The young Milantean Empire chose to go on their genocidal campaign because, according to Nuhmudira, they had a point to prove. They sent an army of 100,000 soldiers, called Milantean Red. The campaign lasted 10 years, and saw 100 battles. In the final battle, the Milantean Red surrounded the Kael Arran and massacred them. The Milantean Red saw losses of 50,000, and the site of that battle became known as the [[Red Sands]] in honor the Milantean Red that spilled their blood there.<ref name=WritOfRefugeText />
