While engaging the Le'enle along several fronts, the Evpetren sent a raid to their nursery world to destroy their children, succeeding in reiving all of them (but two), and all their guarding adults as well. This massacre included Argent Star's twenty-seven children, and resulted in a madness that drove him to genocide. Two hundred years later, the Le'enle had been reduced by the war to fifty-one individuals, but Argent Star had personally overseen the destruction of every Evpetren left alive.
