They engaged the Vizjerei in war for many centuries, and became completely obsessed with taking revenge on the [[sorcerer]]s, to the point of the rest of the non-transformed clans captured a Vizjerei mage, took control of their "lost" clans in the shape of that were transformed to goatmen, and transformed themselves as well to better fight the mages.  They paid the price of servitude to the demon [[Zagraal]] in exchange for their feral power, raiding villages and caravans to sate their bloodlust and procure sacrificial victims for their demonic master. The names of the original five clans was forgotten at this point, and they were now given the name '''Khazra''', which roughly translates as "demon" or "devil" in the umbaru tongue.
