Editing Setting:Unified Setting/Sergal (section)

==Tatola Unification==

The  near-simultaneous discovery of iron in south-eastern Tatola and coal in Northern Sailzane would revolutionize sergal metallurgy and upset the stability of sergal culture. With new metal-working capabilities, the Sergals were able to forge much more effective weapons. Earlier spears, merely sharp sticks with fire-hardened tips, were replaced with cruel metal halberds. The habitual raids against other sergal clans and travelers became much more lethal.

At this time there was born a Sergal name Rain Silves. She had yellow eyes, considered a bad omen among sergals, and as a result was rejected by her peers and clan. At an early age, her own mother attempted to kill her, leaving her with scars on her neck she'd bear for the rest of her life. She survived, however, for she was physically extremely impressive. She was a head over her brethren, reaching a full-grown height over seven feet tall. Her movements were quick and strong. When she came of age, none in her clan could stand before her sword or spear. As was tradition, this strength in arms qualified her to lead her clan, and she did so. Fear forged her people into a tool to her will.

She made war against all around her, animal cunning, force of personality, and sheer strength of sword-arm bending clan after clan beneath her. In less than a decade, the bulk of Tatola's population, those who survived, knelt to her, and she turned her sights to other races.
