Kîonid Achef was an exiled Ioriag Prince from Laorki in eastern Kha-on. The young warrior shared the pain and uncertainty of his family's continual flight, and the nomadic life that he led throughout his early years hardened him for the trials to come.At the Battle of Noz Peka (V. "Knife River"), his son Ûvatha led the light cavalry wing of his father's rebel army, where his gallant charge against the Ioriag King's Guard decided the war that restored his family to the throne of Upper Kha-on.
