) saying the Purity Rebellion needed his support against Emperor Chitus. The Karui were called by High Templar Voll to overthrow General Marceus Lioneye in the outer empire. Kaom accepted and led his people to The Coast in Wraeclast using canoes. The battle against Lioneye and his army of Gemlings has been written in The Purity Chronicles Book 3: Fall of a Jade Axe: a batallion of female archers caught Lioneye by suprise. Among these archers was Hyrri, who has studied archery with Voll's finest military tutors. She was of great importance in this battle.[2] When Lioneye fell, Kaom infamously wore his head on his belt. After he had conquered Lioneye's Watch the Karui passed through the land with their Canoes. Their stories have been preserved on weathered carvings throughout Act 1. These carvings tell of the nightmares they encounter, the undead. It is first thought Kaom potentially dies in The Cavern of Wrath by the hand of Merveil, the Siren.[3]
After the Act 4 update, however, more carvings in Kaom's Stronghold reveals the black spirit may have not only lead him and his warriors farther into Wraeclast, he had been corrupted by the Malachai to slaughter his own men as a 'sacrifice'.
After Kaom died, Hyrri led the Karui back to Ngamakanui.
