Chak'tika sighed as he prepared himself, "My People were nomads of the Shara desert on the world of Eberron. We followed the herds and relied on them for our existence. Then one day greedy hunters from neighboring tribes intruded on our hunting grounds. My people killed the hunters and left them as a warning. The rival tribe called a meeting of all the tribes of the desert. My people argued that we were in the right, as old treaties had laid out hunting grounds belonging to the tribes to avoid such incidents as this. The rival tribe of course argued, saying that we were mistaken and had invaded their land and slain their people as an act of war. The meet went on for another few hours but nothing else of meaning was said. The tribes threw away the treaties and all-out war was declared. By the time we could spy on our enemies by climbing atop the piles of our dead, he came. The monstrous little construct you called 'Preginald'. He offered to solve our problems and get rid of the other tribes. My people were so desperate that our leaders felt they had no choice to accept. All Preginald wanted was information, where to find the other tribes. My people told him and in a day they were all the neighboring tribes were gone. We threw a feast to celebrate our victory with our new ally and he turned on us, slaughtering our warriors and imprisoning the rest in some imposing silver dome. I only managed to escape because my psionic powers had bloomed early, so I was able to effectively hide myself and sneak away. From that day on I vowed that I would hunt that abomination until one of us was dead. And well, here I am."
after a pause Chak'tika said, "Royce, you have my thanks for hearing me. I've never told anyone else my tale, and for some reason it feels...nice to have someone hear it."
