HISTORY

Circa 40,000 years ago, in ancient Atlantis, Shalako was the religious leader of the Atlanteans, and the younger brother of King Orin (I). A conflict made Shalako part with his brother and take a faction of the people with him to found the underwater city of Tritonis. Learning magic and going insane in the process, Shalako eventually cast a curse on the Tritonians, making their legs grow scales. A mob of enraged Tritonians then killed Shalako and his entire family, except for his son Dardanus.
