Editing Renegade Tumeroks and Lugians (section)

=== Early contacts with the [[New Directive]] ===
Early in the Portal Year area, after the discovery of [[Chorizite]] by the Lugians, the [[Virindi]] approach [[Lord Kresovus]] with an offer of vast power in exchange for Chorizite to use in their experiments. But Kresovus refuses and proposes to the council of clans that an agreement be reached with the [[Isparian]]s to resist any Virindi efforts to seize the mines. Some of the clans violently disagree, the most vocal of which are the clans responsible for the mines, since they have borne the brunt of Isparian Chorizite raids. The Virindi approach these rebel clans and suggest that, in exchange for Chorizite, they will provide the rebels with a means to overthrow Lord Kresovus. These clans agree and establish a siege camp around Linvak Tukal, waiting for their Virindi allies to provide the means to breech the city's defenses.<ref name=HistoryV>[[The History of Auberean/Volume V: New Arrivals (-540 to 13)]]</ref>

After months of delay, the Virindi allies of the rebel Lugian Raiders provide the means to breech Linvak Tukal's defenses. In a series of pitched battles, Lord Kresovus' clan and other allied clans hold off the rebel attacks. However, one rebel raiding party is able to break through the city's defenses long enough to steal sacred artifacts brought from Tuu. Isparians travelers who brave the rebel picket lines to enter Linvak Tukal are welcomed to the town by Lord Kresovus. Those Isparians who wish to help the besieged Lugians are told of the missing artifacts and eventually are able to retrieve them from the rebel encampments scattered throughout the southern mountains.<ref name=HistoryV/>

During the rebellion of the [[New Directive]], the Virindi called upon a long-standing alliance with the warlike, desert-dwelling Hea Tumeroks to cooperate in a military push against human towns.<ref name=CrestsOfATurbulentSeaTeaser>2001/08 [[Crests of a Turbulent Sea]] - [[Announcements - 2001/08 - Crests of a Turbulent Sea#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref> With Virindi providing transportation and magical support, and the Tumeroks bringing fighting power and organization, the new alliance moved against the human capital cities of [[Cragstone]], [[Hebian-To]], and [[Zaikhal]].<ref name=CrestsOfATurbulentSeaTCRumors>2001/08 [[Crests of a Turbulent Sea]] - [[Crests of a Turbulent Sea#Town Crier Rumors|Town Crier Rumors]]</ref>

The [[New Directive]] hoped to construct the New Singularity with three different materials. These slivers were kept within repositories all across Dereth. In the [[Singular Chorizite Repository]] the Lugian Raiders sworn to the defense of the Singularity were aided by their Virindi masters in the defense of the stockpile. <ref name=GyreRecap>2001/10 [[The Widening Gyre]] - [[Announcements - 2001/10 - The Widening Gyre#Recap|Recap]]</ref><ref>2001/10 [[The Widening Gyre]] - [[Announcements - 2001/10 - The Widening Gyre#Rollout Article|Rollout Article]]</ref>

In the course of the process of establishing the New Singularity, different Virindi factions split off from from [[Levistras]] and his group. One of these groups were the Virindi who sought to embrace the physicality of the realm, lead by [[The Crafter]], also known as the [[Martinate Virindi]]. They managed to come to favorable arrangements with local tribes of their allies, the [[Renegade]] Tumeroks.<ref>2001/09 [[Keep Your Enemies Closer]] - [[Simulacra Rumor]]</ref><ref>2001/09 [[Keep Your Enemies Closer]] - [[Translated Northern Infiltrator Note]]</ref><ref>2001/09 [[Keep Your Enemies Closer]] - [[Translated Southern Infiltrator Note]]</ref><ref>2001/09 [[Keep Your Enemies Closer]] - [[Translated Asteliary Crafter's Note]]</ref> The [[Martinate Virindi]] contacted the [[Renegade]] Lugians for the delivery of the anti-magic material Chorozite and established and operation base in Southern Osteth.<ref>2001/04 [[A Reign of Stone]] - [[Translated Virindi Envoy's Note]]</ref><ref name=RiseNewSingularity>[[AC:DM CD Lore/Historical Overview/Portal Year 12 - The Rise of the New Singularity]]</ref>

In the end, the Virindi were no match for Isparian strength. With the assistance of [[Ecorto the Lost Director]], who was instigated by [[Candeth Martine]]<ref>2001/10 [[The Widening Gyre]] - [[Announcements - 2001/10 - The Widening Gyre#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref>, Isparians stormed the [[Seat of the New Singularity]] and slew Levistras.
