=== On [[Dereth]] ===

In the Portal Year 15, inquisitive Isparians allowed the Burun into the world by accidentally activating a portal beacon that allowed the Ruuk to come here.<ref>2004/03 [[Across the Vast Divide]] - [[Announcements - 2004/03 - Across the Vast Divide#Teaser 2|Teaser 2]]</ref><ref name=TownNetworkPainting/> The Ruuk, led by the brothers [[Morgluuk]] and [[Torgluuk]] <ref name=AcrossTeaser3>2004/03 [[Across the Vast Divide]] - [[Announcements - 2004/03 - Across the Vast Divide#Teaser 3 |Teaser 3]]</ref><ref>2004/04 [[A New Threat]] - [[Morgluuk's Orders]]</ref><ref>2004/04 [[A New Threat]] - [[Torgluuk's Orders]]</ref>, quickly formed an alliance with the [[Renegade Tumeroks and Lugians]] <ref>2004/05 [[Mired Hearts]] - [[Announcements - 2004/05 - Mired Hearts#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref><ref>2004/06 [[Pillars Made of Sand]] - [[A Message from Morgluuk]]</ref> and were able to dominate the then newly arriving Guruk.<ref name=ReportToNiarltah/><ref name=ToberikReport>2004/09 [[A Small Victory]] - [[Toberik's Report]]</ref> Torgluuk was seen as the calmer of the two Burun leaders, whereas Morgluuk was more aggressive and driven.<ref name=ToberikReport/> Morgluuk and Torgluuk rebelling against the Burun Kings and were attempting to claim the destiny that was meant for the Kukuur – the Burun Elders.<ref name=Survey>2004/10 [[All That They Survey]] - [[Announcements - 2004/10 - All That They Survey#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref><ref name=KorGursha>2007/01 [[Bridging the Vast Divide]] - [[The Founding of Kor-Gursha]]</ref>

When the Burun Ruuk first arrived they took control of an area of the [[Blackmire Swamp]] surrounding Ixir Zi's Temple, driving away the local Mosswarts.<ref>2004/06 [[Pillars Made of Sand]] - [[Announcements - 2004/06 - Pillars Made of Sand#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref> They later spread to the [[A'mun Desert]] outside of [[Fadsahil al-Tashbi the Master Archmage]]'s shop, which turned out to be a Falatacot temple. The Burun then spread to the [[Direlands]] in search of more Falatacot temples.<ref name=OfTheBurun>2004/08 [[From the Darkness Born]] - [[Of the Burun]]</ref> Early on, they started attacking Isparian towns.<ref>2044/05 [[Mired Hearts]] - [[Burun Raids]]</ref>

Morgluuk left his charges in the Direlands to return to the fortress that the Burun have been constructing, with the aid of the Renegade forces, in the Blackmire Swamp.<ref name=ToberikReport/><ref>2004/08 [[From the Darkness Born]] - [[Blueprints for a Burun Fortress]]</ref><ref name=Darkness>2004/08 [[From the Darkness Born]] - [[Announcements - 2004/08 - From the Darkness Born#Teaser]]</ref> The brothers start having doubts about their renegade allies <ref>2004/08 [[From the Darkness Born]] - [[Note to Torgluuk]]</ref> and turned upon them.<ref name=SurveyRollout>2004/10 [[All That They Survey]] - [[Announcements - 2004/10 - All That They Survey#Rollout Article|Rollout Article]]</ref> 
[[Morgluuk]] was defeated in this fortress by a combined force of [[Isparian]]s, [[Tumerok]]s and [[Lugian]]s.<ref>2004/09 [[A Small Victory]] - [[Noble Weapons Quest#Lore&Dialog]]</ref><ref name=SurveyRollout/> His brother Torgluuk, killed the renegade Tumerok and Lugian leaders out of revenge, and set out to kill [[Asheron]].<ref name=SurveyRollout/> Asheron foresaw his arrival, and Torgluuk was captured. Remembering the prophesy words of [[Tkrowerk]], he abandons his quest for vengeance and starts cooperating with Asheron.<ref name=BendedTeaser/>

A mucor-enhanced Guruk, [[Mgrauleshk]], was sent to open the portal to Dereth by the Burun Kings to round up Morgluuk and Torgluuk. Kukuur [[Reeshan]] would then enter the new portal and find the way to bring the other Kukuur Masters to the world of the Fiazhat Gods. There the Burun would complete their destinies and become the rulers of both their own world and the world of these would-be usurpers. He was captured by the Burun Ruuk forces of [[Morgluuk]] and swore allegiance.<ref>2004/09 [[A Small Victory]] - [[Announcements - 2004/09 - A Small Victory#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref> With the death of Morgluuk and the disappearance of Torgluuk, Mgrauleshk took over the leadership of the Burun forces.<ref name=SurveyRollout/>

Later the Kukuur, the Burun Kings, arrived in Dereth at the bottoms of Falatacot temples.<ref>2004/11 [[On Bended Knee]] - [[Clutch of Kings]]</ref> whereby [[Browerk]] is the King of Kings.<ref name=BendedTeaser>2004/11 [[On Bended Knee]] - [[Announcements - 2004/11 - On Bended Knee#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref> One by one, they were defeated.
