9.11.5 The weird thing.

The history of Dhumas was the history of this Town. It was the classic rise to power, but some conflict arose in between. Mining rights came into question once the Dhumas were able to afford them, putting them in competition with other families. 

But one way or another, the Dhuma's kept winning one after another. On the surface might seem normal if it was the world of mortals, but in this world with curses everywhere, it was bizarre how none of the family members of Dhuma's ever suffered any accidents. Even when their enemies would die off due to curses at random, the Dhuma remained free of this. 

Which is what Farhad pointed out. "The Dhuma's came out unharmed through all these competitions? Don't you find it odd?" Both sides employ Curse masters to harm each other. These were not the present day when church services for purification were everywhere, in the olden days, the curse held actual danger that was not so easy to ignore.
