Countless Enemies and Discoveries

Just when you think that things are looking good globally, some ambitious fools have to come along and mess things up...again. Commerce is working again, peace is working (although it is still rather tenuous at best), and even the Teltermak are buying and selling peacefully (we hope). Then comes another attack aimed directly at both the Owlam and the Algothon. Who are these Cacktash people and who are they aligned with (if anyone)? How much more dangerous are they since they can read minds? What else can they do and what else will happen to all this new positive growth? How many more times will the world endure new aggressors?
