Chapter 6: The Collapse of Sokash: Around 7350 BCE, Ila the Great of Sokash died, leaving the united Tele Region to her daughter Keshu. Keshu proved not as politically deft as her mother, and the Empire of Sokash fell into a civil war between two claimants to the throne on her death ten years later. Steles from this time period are largely absent - no doubt reflective of the difficulty in funding or creating monuments in a time of war. Archaeform records of the Sokash civil war are poetic in their language, claiming that the waters of the Tele turned red for ten rhythms each year with the blood of youth, and that the war itself lasted for twenty years. Some of this is exaggeration, but it is certain that the Sokash civil war was both bloody and destructive.
