Lore

Known today as First of the Forgotten, back then Kulaa was merely the toughest and most resilient of the test subjects of a mad Mezari mutation program. An orphan, thief, and troublemaker, Kulaa was one of the many societal outcasts who was taken by the Eugenicists, a secret organization within the Mezari, and turned ito guinea pigs for testing survival biotech. Their goal may have been noble - the ability to survive on the hostile surface of Auriga - but their methods were utterly repugnant. Kulaa's natural resilience served her well during these grueling years of suffering, and against all odds she began smuggling useful objects out of the Mezari labs under the eyes of her guards. She made many accompanied sorties to the surface, planning for that one day when she would not return when the whistle blew. Kulaa kept pushing that day out, however, out of compassion for her fellow subjects and an increasingly deep desire to commit not only escape, but also revenge. Her unexpected ally came in the form of a Mezari guard captain, Irjsko Lasmak, who had become suspicious of the activities of the Eugenicists and tracked them through the tunnels and caverns to their facility. Little else is known of the relationships between the two women other than the fact that they spent many long and intense days together; the one gathering evidence and the other, loot. The day that Irjsko returned to her superiors to make a report stained with tears and blood, was the last day that Kulaa and the several hundred test subjects were ever seen. It was also the day that an entire section of the caverns and all the Eugenicists' work disappeared in explosions and fire...

Kulaa became the de facto leader of the tribe, and it is largely thanks to her that they survived the grim ordeal of the poisoned and mutated world that Auriga had become. Finding peace in the high mountains, the Forgotten made her birthday their national celebration and respectfully refer to her as the first, and greatest of the Sable Deceivers.
