But the nobility of Aeros is already divided over the question of Yamenaen religion, many calling for the destruction of the great Temple of Yamenna and the expulsion of the Kattasian clergy, others cautioning not to upset the Yamenaen populace. Only a few years later, Krošcan, high priestess of Yamenna, narrowly survives an attempt on her life. Fleeing the city, she seeks refuge in the Nukna and rallies around her all loyal Kattasian chiefs, plotting an uprising against the Aribelians. The Third War of the Steppes is as devastating to the Aribelians as the first was to the Yamenaens, seeing the fall of the city of Aeros within three years. Some of the Aribelians flee north into the land then known as Oshale, which will soon become their permanent home, leaving the history of Geran, others remain and receive mercy at the hands of the Yamenaens. Victorious and united, they retake their holy city and restore the Kingdom of Yamenna, now spanning all of the Geranian Heath. | But the nobility of Aeros is already divided over the question of Yamenaen religion, many calling for the destruction of the great Temple of Yamenna and the expulsion of the Kattasian clergy, others cautioning not to upset the Yamenaen populace.

With the Yamenaen victory in the Third War of the Steppes begins the heyday of the Kingdom of Yamenna. In the 1140s B.E.B., the first Yamenaen priests are sent west to missionize the Kalparians and Hayans, then dwelling in a large area stretching from Bernab to the Arsapárian Marsh. | With the Yamenaen victory in the Third War of the Steppes begins the heyday of the Kingdom of Yamenna.
