At around early 9,000 BRT began the reign of Emperor Kaluas, who was later hailed as one of The Nagas greatest pioneering rulers. It was during the reign of this Emperor that a Naga outpost reported a group of strange creatures, moving in the shallow waters, after a while it was assumed that these creatures were watching the Naga movements, with this news an emergency meeting of the Emperors council was called, as the dangers of Faal Kein do Geind were well known by the Emperors line.

In the waterless throne room at the center of Anhiim they gathered, with the Emperor sat upon his throne, his advisers before him. He turned first to his Master of commerce, the Naga who was responsible for the transportation and logging of goods and resources through the entire Emperor. It was the opinion of the Master that this strange new race, who could not reach the depths, might have something they had yet to discover themselves, after all, had they not been amazed by discovering the open ocean? Though the council agreed on this, Kaluas remained silent and then turned to the Master of culture, who oversaw the recording of legend and maintained the stone scriptures were the teachings of past heroes were kept. It was the belief of this Naga that these creatures were clearly blessed by the Old Gods, to be able to enter the water so, though the fact they could not enter the deeps suggested that the Gods had abandoned them, and they should be eradicated before they polluted the Naga race, less members of the council agreed on this, as though the Old Gods were revered by the Naga as a whole, it was only the priests were considered fanatical in their worship. Finally Kaluas turned to the Master of might, the commander of the Naga armies in his stead, it was his suggestion that a task force of Naga soldiers were sent to these creatures, to follow them back to their homes, if their numbers were small enough they would enslave them, if they fought back they would destroy them. After a while Kaluas ordered the throne room the be emptied and he be left in peace.

Within a week, three score Naga soldiers were armed, with stone spears and coral javelins and sent to where the creatures were first seen, there they lay'd in wait, eventually a group of the slow swimming creatures arrived and they descended on them, attacking on all sides, first they would throw a javelin and then dart in to finish off the hurt creature, swimming around each other Naga and flying projectile with amazing skill, as they had practiced all their lives. They quickly finished off the creatures, with few causalities themselves, heading back along the way the creatures were coming they eventually came to a cave, in small groups they entered it and eventually found an air pocket, a number of luminescent coral torches were brought up with them to light their way as they slowly explored this cave, the lack of water massively reducing their movement speed to a crawl. For a time they discovered nothing, except from darting movements around them, that were gone before they could be investigated, eventually Captain Vurkul, who was leading the expedition turned a corner to discover a group of these creatures, in an easily defended position, weapons raised at him. His own warriors bristled but thanks to his quick action blood was not yet spilled in the caves.

Turning to his own lieutenants, almost for their support, he realised that he was making the first peaceful contact with a new and unknown race in the word. He kept his own weapon lowered, whilst his men kept their raised, and spoke to them in Nagan, not realising they would not understand him. "Mu los faal Naga, mu'uliik do faal Dil, unadaan joriin do Faal Wuth Rah. Mu meyz yen nuz hind nid brothuz, mu drey ni lorot hi mindosaal. Zu'u miik hi, ol rahzun do faal Naga, zodrem vanras ful tol un joriin uld doj zuk do enook vorey. "
