 Several Akenak had already announced their resignation over the disagreement, and elections for a new Akenak were due. But these elections would not be completed until the beginning of the fourth cycle. Thus any solution would have to wait while the third cycle dragged on... and meanwhile the desert remained in disarray.

 Because all eyes had been on the tribes, nobody had really noticed the Frahar until now. It was only shortly before the Akenak Assembly that people started noticing how many there suddenly were all over [[Frahar Towers]]. And their numbers weren't the only thing shocking; specimens of Frahar were observed that were much stronger than normal Frahar. They seemed as powerful and as intelligent as the [[Fraiders]], but far more malevolent. Scouts even confirmed the presence of Frahar magicians, who could launch powerful fire spells over long distance that killed many a desert travellers before they ever realised what happened.
 But perhaps strangest of all was that the Frahar were building totems.
 At about the same time, the Fyros citizenry started making themselves heard: Concerned citizens starting popping up all over Pyr, sharing their concerns and opinions and sometimes their knowledge about the Frahar with anyone who would listen. (The speeches of all these NPCs can be found below.)
 Adventurers responding to these calls started thinning out the Frahar and destroying some of the totems, but it quickly proved futile, as the Frahar would simply return and rebuild the totems.

 Meanwhile, scouts were searching all over [[Oflovak's Oasis]] and [[Frahar Towers]] for additional clues to the cause of the Frahar invasion, and additional homins who could tell them more about it. Six more homins with more or less useful information were found. (The speeches of all these NPCs can be found below.)

 The warriors and foragers trickled into Northlake Farm where they were awaited by the Fyros [[Akenak]] and Overseer [[Pin Ulyn]] of the [[Barkers]] tribe. Pin Ulyn explained what her tribe had discovered: If a substantial amount of resources would be removed from 6 specific locations, it would tip the scales and restore the balance for the time being. She explained that 3 of those locations were in [[Oflovak's Oasis]], and 3 were in [[Frahar Towers]].
-She led the entire party to the first location in Oflovak's Oasis, near Northlake Trade Post, and had them dig enough resources to decrease the Kami Tolerance is that area by about 20%. The same was then done in the two other locations, near both southern corners of the region. As Oflovak's Oasis was for the most part not occupied by Frahar, the foragers did not need to be guarded and the operation proceeded smoothly.

Thus the foragers all donned their battle gear and started slowly and painstakingly thinning out the Frahar. During the fighting, they heard of a Frahar named Pratarr who appeared to be leading these Frahar.
