As the Empire expanded it's territory, the long occupying natives resisted relentlessly. However, the all eventually fell before the Empire's brutal military force as well as overwhelming technology. Dakaris' homeland, the reclusive Lake Eretana, hidden deep inside the mountains, was no exception. The Empire let the natives stay in their land, but by no means were they treated respect. To make things worse, the officers and nobles appointed to the area were mostly corrupted, making it even more difficult for the natives. The noble appointed to Lake Eretana was especially the worse. The atrocities grew worse each day, eventually leading to the deaths of young, and innocent Lizardmen. This lead to Dakaris to gather his tribe to get back their freedom.
