 As they cross the valley the Terrans become aware that the Llor have declared war upon the amphibious Venturi.Because the Horde has rescued several Venturi from Llor captors, the Terrans find that the Venturi are willing to give them some help.As they have always done when the pogroms start, the Venturi abandon the continents and retreat to their islands, where the Llor cannot follow, so they invite the Horde to occupy the small port that they have just abandoned.
