Baran was back to square one when he fled from his newly created tribe. But at least his presence on the battlefield had deterred humans from concentrating on him.
That had allowed some of his trusted followers to run away from human attackers. The incident also strengthened his image as the leader of the escaped tribe.
The tribe was no more. But Baran could always form new tribes somewhere else in the Badlands as long as he had monsters he could count on. And that's what he did.
He rebuilt his tribe from scratch. His tribe grew to its previous size by fighting the smaller orc tribes in the Anfang Badlands and absorbing their population.
Finally!
Baran thought that his time had come. He worked diligently with his remaining tribe mates to settle on new land, away from the mess. Away from all the failures, he had experienced in his life.
Time heals everything. Baran kept on putting his all into everything he did. His leadership qualities also increased as a result.
