Grabhol was approached by Natgroni Warmgut, another Jeweller, who wished to work alongside him, becoming his apprentice. Natgroni introduced Grabhol to her husband, Yorbear Greenfoot, who was working to introduce a new currency within the Outpost. Yorbear soon stole [[Zietal Mar's Lost Pages|'''several rare pages''']] from the Zietal Mar Public Library under Grabhol's orders after Grabhol began working with Governor '''[[Khestor Thidirlun]]''' to learn about the All-Gem'''.''' Shortly after, Natrgoni was killed by her husband for an unknown reason which enraged Grabhol. Grabhol and Khestor decided to confront Yorbear about his lawless actions, but also to make sure the secret of their cooperation never came to light. A fight broke out, and Yorbear died at the hands of Grabhol and the Governor

Grabhol then became entwined in conflict with Marshal Khestor over this issue. This began with investigations into the Umbral Hand over alleged actions that the guild was planning against the government. The conflict climaxed when violence nearly erupted between the Khestor's molir and the members of the Umbral Hand. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed and both parties stood down. Tensions continued between the Umbral Hand and the government of Zietal Mar until Grabhol's unfortunate demise.
Grabhol was approached by '''[[Natgroni Warmgut]]''', another Jeweller, who wished to work alongside him. Natgroni introduced Grabhol to her husband, '''[[Yorbear]]''' who worked to introduce a new currency within the Outpost. Natrgoni was killed by her husband shortly after, as Yorbear had stolen books for him from the '''[[Zietal Mar Public Library]]''' under orders from [[Khestor Thidirlun|'''Governor Khestor Thidirlun''']]. The two decided to murder Yorbear to avoid any Outpost confict. Khestor promised to share the loot on the discovery of the '''[[All-Gem]]''' to convince Grabhol to agree to the job.
