Kang laughed, "And thankfully, the ones I'm familiar with chose the latter. They caused more trouble than they were worth."

He nodded and fetched a mug of ale for himself. "It starts with the creation of my race, about forty-five or forty-six years ago, best I can tell. Takhisis, a goddess, was trying yet again to take over, and she had the eggs of the metallic dragons stolen to create us. We were to be shock troops in her war. Unfortunately, we turned out to be more intelligent than planned, so the humans never allowed any females to hatch, and told all of us that none had ever been created. I'm sure you can understand why."
