warriors wrestle but Moroth still remains a pursuer, haunting Kahless for six days and six nights. At one point Kahless contemplates suicide but Moroth
convinces the older warrior to dedicate his life to those that had perished. They return to Vathraq's village twelve days after their departure. Legend will
amplify and distort the story to Kahless and Moroth wrestling in the hills for twelve days and twelve nights; Morath being identified as the brother of

Kellein. She instructs him to build a special sword taking a lock of his own hair and dipping it in the hot blood of the Kri'stak Volcano, then allowing it
to cool in the waters of Lake Lusor. Kellein also warns him of Edronh's treachery and plan to sell out Kahless's forces to Molor. Kahless, following his
feverish dream, seeks out the metalsmith Toragh to forge the first batlh'etlh. Legend, however, will yield to Kahless's dream rather than the actual account
[GN 24].

Kahless, taking Molor's d'kt tahg blade aimed at Kahless [GN 20, TNG 249, GN 24].
This is perhaps the time of the legendary battle of Fom Kerdath:
Bardak Linron the traitor fights the forces of Kahless to a standstill
in a six-day period. Kahless loses the battle when Bardak sends his
best general, Renarg, to negotiate terms for separating the combatants. Renarg enters the tent of Kahless's high command with an arrogant list of demands,
but his terms are a ruse having strapped high explosives around his body, conceiled beneath his armor and clothing. Detonating the munitions, Renarg
sacrifices himself to kill Kahless's entire general staff. Only by a miracle Kahless survives, having stepped out to relieve himself from the night's
drinking [DSN #22].

(The Heroic Age on Qo'noS) With the tyrant overthrown, Qo'noS united, and the people given a set of laws by which they could conduct themselves
honorably, Kahless The Unforgettable writes down the true account of his life. He then departs for a place called Sto-Vo-Kor: "Where no one lacks sustenance
or bends his knee to anyone else. Where in every hall, the clash of swords rings from the rafters. And where men hold honor above all else." Kahless
indicates its location by pointing to a star in the evening sky before leaving. A monestary will be established on Boreth in the future, the world orbiting
that star. The so-called Heroic Age of Qo'noS will shortly come to an end. The achievements of Kahless will be recorded in the Sacred Texts, though
distorted by myth and legend. In 2263, the Excalbians will re-create Kahless based upon the conceptions of Captain Kirk and Commander Spock of the
"Enterprise." In 2369, a clone of Kahless will be created. In 2371, the long-lost scroll of Kahless documenting the man's real life history will be
uncovered on Qo'noS by Olahg, and utilized to spearhead a conspiracy against Gowron [TNG 249, SC, GN 24]. Kahless holding honor above all else performs the
