Malik Kafur's devastating raid of 1311 had cracked the Pandyas of Madurai; by 1319 the dynasty splintered beyond repair, its temples looted, its pearl fisheries seized. Southern India fell into a power vacuum that the Vijayanagara Empire would eventually fill, but for a generation the Tamil country knew only warlords.
