Alright, here's my turn at last. Results coming along, done soon, yadda yadda.
The waters moved with more speed than any Chief had known. The flows shifted to different lands, and left lands dry that never had been. The Herd lived more out of the water now, exposed to the dangers of the land and sky.
Chief !Gaaru's attention was drawn again from the waters to the great Seer Glarg!gha, staring down at him from his great stance. All about him had grown unnatural. The Seer had grown infamous before !Gaaru's spawning emerged, living far longer than any Kadesh in memory. His body twisted and grew, now twice as long as it should be, and sprouted boils and knots that made him another creature in all voice. For generations, Glarg!gha had told all who would listen of the visions he received from the Great Form, whatever madness it was that had spread through the Seers. The muscles that writhed and strained with upon his skin were proof enough that something held influence on his body, and his council and wisdom had never proved wrong. But this new vision !Gaaru could not abide.
"Whatever guidance you may have, to dive into the very nests of such beasts will only bring death. How many have the Blur already slain? How many do you wish to throw to them in gift?"
The lumpen mass that had been Glarg!gha's face stared long at the Chief. "How many will the Blur slay again? How long have they tormented us? How long will it continue?"
"You speak of madness. The Blur
are. We defend ourselves, but to go their very lairs to do so? What purpose could it serve?"
"Change. What are our few moments before such power? The world is not whole, it is not unmoving. Nor are we, or the Blur, or the Burrowers, or anything else. The Blur may be a part of the world, but that can be changed as much as anything else."
!Gaaru could feel the Seer's voice burn in his mind. He knew it was folly to argue with the guidance. If he did not lead the attack, as inconceivable an idea as it was, another Chief would. And for all his urge to preserve himself and the Herd, he could not deny the beauty of ridding themselves of the Blur, of the great dream of triumph over the world...

The Kadesh spread out into G-11 and H-14. A group of Seers, Herders, and Outriders attack the Blur colony in G-9 to reduce predation around the region.
