Years = until Kallyr's rebellion. This post suddenly made that
clear to me, that rebellion was really the point where the clans
started saying "Gaw, we can't ignore these buggers! Bad enough
paying them taxes, but they are getting into everything--worse than
trollkin! Its gone on long enough, what say we get rid them then?"
Oh sure, amongst the leadership it might have been viewed differently
than that, but that was probably that critical point needed for
popular support.
