In 1363, Cinsin the Wolfskinner gathered survivors from the Telmori onslaught into Red Cow Fort. His household, the Wolfskinners, had iron weapons and magic and were amongst the most successful Telmori fighters. His reputation became strong enough to gather a number of surviving Sanchali clans around him along with the Dolutha
survivors of the Ferfal Alliance. They pooled resources to create regalia and formed the Cinsina tribe.
King Cinsin was the first to understand that the Telmori were strong only when they were united under a war-leader. He led his household on a raid that killed Heljar the Telmori war-leader and broke the unity of the Telmori. Before he could exploit his triumph, the Telmori in turn killed him.
