Yet times are changing and¸ in recent years¸ many of the Banu Haqim who arrive in the Levant are harsh and uncompromising¸ wanting to impose their own ideas of order upon the Cainites of the land. Regardless of the reasons for the rise of this new breed amongst the clan¸ their appearance is seen by many Syrian Cainites as an ominous sign. There are some who claim to have heard the thunder in the east¸ warning of an approaching storm.
