Because of the wisdom she and Za saw in these strangers, and especially because of her loyalty to her husband, Hur tried to hold back the tribe members led by Horg, who sought to kill the strangers and depose Za. She refused to listen to the strangers' pleas to be set free, even after they had saved Za by giving him the secret of fire.
