King Kathelranda changed the Maboder tribe. Traditionally, the Maboder had elected queens to the Unknown, but in 1601, when his sister died in a fire, Kathelranda became king, supported by Lunar Empire money. Kathelranda returned the favor and withheld the Maboder from coming to the aid of the kingdom during the invasion. King Kathelranda believed that the Empire would help him defeat the Telmori.
In 1605, Kathelranda’s warband slaughtered a group of Telmori old men, women, and children in the Black Moon Massacre. In revenge, during the winter of 1606, the Telmori fell upon the Maboder villages. They killed every man, woman, and child they could find. Finally, they reached Stonegate. The entire Maboder leadership, including King Kathelranda, was wiped out.
