The engaged in an agreement with demonic powers to protect and see to the success of Kuchek in MS 4090. This agreement required the sacrifice of one child a year to the demonic powers. The Kmiri leaders faithfully executed this agreement until MS 5067. After twenty years of peace between Vassagonia and Cloeasia, even the most devout and learned among the Kmiri could not justify the continued kidnappings and slavery from which they gained their sacrifices.
