Except that the Klingons know about the Hur'q. They know the Hur'q were aliens. The entire reason they called them the "Hur'q" is that "Hur'q" means "outsiders".
I also suspect the Klingon mythology in question was more than a thousand years old.

I'm with Tim. The Hur'q were post-Kahless, right? That would make them relatively recent in terms of Klingon cultural history. I have the impression that the "Klingons killing their Gods" thing dates well back into prehistory.

But, does any one have more info about the Hur'q?

I think Tim and Tom are right. After all, the whole point of the episode that introduced us to the Hur'q was that they had taken the sword of Kahless and Worf, Jadzia, and Koloth were on a mission to find it.
If the Hur'q took the sword of Kahless, I'd guess it was well past the time that Kahless expelled the gods of the Klingons. The Hur'q came along later and raided the museum.

I wouldn't fret over it. The mention of the Hur'q was confined to that one episode (I think). And I've only seen that episode once (about two years ago).

I don't think Kahless was the one said to have dealt with the Klingon Gods, actually, but the Klingon warriors long before him.

Right. It wasn't Kahless. Kahless defeated Molor. There's a bunch of other stories about things that he did too. But talking about the warriors who defeated the Klingon Gods would be akin to us talking about the Greek Titans. Kahless would be more along the lines of Jesus Christ as far as a time line goes.
