For a time, he was successful, and the warlords stopped fighting. But the warlord Xi'rev saw the peace as a chance to obtain assets he had wanted for a long time, so he launched a surprise attack against his rival, Lhai. Lhai was not completely unprepared for the attack, but suffered heavy losses repelling Xi'rev's army. | ||
Lhai, who also did not believe in [[ma:Surak|Surak]] or his teachings, used the incident to discredit publicly both [[ma:Surak|Surak]] and his movement. Not wanting to lose the progress that had been made in Tat'sahr, S'vec went to teh court of Lhai to talk peace. Instead, Lhai accused S'vec of spying for his enemies, and publicly executed him. S'vec's acolytes decided to follow him into the center of Lhai's domain to preach logic and peace or die. | |||
According to tradition, the acolytes died but converted the sons of both Lhai and Xi'rev by their example. Before leaving, S'vec's followers dealed up their former home and erected a shrine in S'vec's honor. Historians believe that the shrine was destroyed, but that the sealed commune might still be intact. If this is true, items from early in the Logical movement, possibly even including additional writings by [[ma:Surak|Surak]] himself, could be found there. | |||
