Eventually the Mournai, (As the tribe named itself) overcame and destroyed every known Ooudian settlement on Miridos. They have since forged an alliance with the Mothura and are joint in the effort to annihilate the Veritoss. At one point the Mournai crossed the dimensional barrier over to Tira and conquered nearly all of Araeth before being driven back by the Ashal.
