Of course Kallyr and her bands slaughtered folk from pro-Lunar clans and settlements. Frex, after Starbrow's Rebellion a group of Lunar missionaries established a temple and school of the Seven Mothers in a settlement in Jomesland, where the local children were instructed in the ways of the Seven Mothers. In 1615 Kallyr and her warband raided the settlement and slaughtered every child they found (along with all the adults of course).

Or how about the time in 1618 when Kallyr and her warband (with the aid of the Pol-Joni and some Dundealos survivors) slaughtered every man, woman and child in a settlement near Fort Enstalos. This massacre stood out for the wanton cruelty of the masscre - corpses were defiled and mutilated so that proper burial rites could not be performed.

Of course, these slaughters pale into insignificance when compared with the massacres committed by Kallyr and her warriors during the Fimblewinter. Women and children whose only crime was to embrace the Lunar way as a means to survive that terrible winter were killed by Kallyr and her guerillas. Who can forget when Kallyr's band burnt down the wooden Seven Mothers temple in the Killard Vale in 1622, including all the women and children from her own Kheldon tribe who had taken refuge there during the Fimbulwinter. "They seek warmth? Then let us give them the fire they so richly deserve!"
