Savassan and his apprentice Temlaa were scholars, more interested in studying the artifacts than in engaging in war with the other tribes. These attacks sometimes focused on the artifacts rather than just the tribe members. He Who Brings Order ĭuring the latter part of the Strife, the Shelak Tribe was frequently attacked by other tribes due to their constant veneration of the xel'naga. As the Strife drew on, many tribes focused their attacks on the Shelak Tribe, as they had been closest to the xel'naga. Over the course of the Strife the protoss descended into a near Stone Age level, devolving into frantic legions of merciless killers. Entire generations of protoss lived, fought, and died without ever knowing of the psychic link their ancestors had once possessed. Aiur's greater landmasses were devastated, and many of the planet's non-sapient species were pushed to the edge of extinction. One example was the Mendella Incident, where the mainly underground settlement of Mendella was flooded when another protoss faction deliberately destroyed a nearby reservoir.

However, the xel'naga took many loyal protoss off of Aiur with them, who would later become the Tal'darim, or "the chosen," and would continue to fanatically worship them. Seeing this as a betrayal, some protoss attacked them, killing many hundreds of them, even attacking their ships as they left. The tribes began to lose the connection to their psychic link.Īmon and his xel'naga, saddened at the lost opportunity, made ready to leave Aiur. The protoss began to shy from their xel'naga teachers as they grew suspicious of their interests and cultivated unsubstantiated rumors about them.
