An all-out attack by the Thraal on the last A'ovan stronghold motivated Ratchet to interfere, and he engaged the Thraal leader,Durguth,in combat. Due to the Thraal's hierarchal system, none came to help their leader or continued the battle against the A'ovan while Durguth's authority wasn't certain.
