Harlyn's question went unanswered, but the woman didn't mind as the question posed brought a smile to her lips. "No, they did not," she replied with a soft shake of her head, "The tale goes that our small homeland became too crowded many years ago, so we asked our gods to find us new land to make our homes. A great seal rose up from the ocean one day, and my ancestors climbed onto its back. It brought them across the ocean to their new home, and we Cinderlochs have roamed here ever since."

Little did she realize that the seal in truth had been a ship, and her ancestors had not boarded it willingly. Humans and their devices were not things known to her, however. And while she did not fully believe the story, it was the only one that she and many generations of her family had ever known, so she suspected there had to be some sort of truth in it, somewhere.
