Mittana’s life wasn’t anything special, but she was a bit odd as far as Sil`phane go. She was born in her colony, Gondaluke, and raised by her pride like any other, but as she grew she became more and more resistant to the idea of going out and hunting, with the pride or alone. It’s not that she found anything wrong with it. She just thought it was boring. What fun was it to hunt down and kill an unaware weak animal with weapons that were so advanced that the only reason they didn’t have in built AI to doing the work of the pride was to satisfy the whims of the Sil`Phane. What’s more is that she knew that her people had the technology to raise stock, slaughter it and bring it to them without any work on their part and that was ignoring the technology to just make any kind of meat that they desired. To her, it was all just boring. The problem had already been solved.
The problem was exacerbated when Mittana went to see a fight at the Arena. The combattants fought fiercely with weapons she had never seen before, in ways that surprised and wowed her, against opponents that could learn and adapt from past experiences and from each other. She had no desire to enter the Arena but she became addicted to watching the battles that were waged. She had her favorite individuals and teams, but what really caught her eye were their tools. It wasn’t long before she created a list of all the weapons she saw used, their abilities, and stats. From there she moved on to trying to learn about the technology they were using. What she found though is that no one that she could find knew anything about how they worked. And it wasn’t just the weapons they didn’t know about, but any technology that was more advanced was almost impossible to learn anything about.

One day, Mittana met an adventurer out on one of the hunts that she was forced to endure by her pride. This adventurer had made it pass the introductory challenges that Debris posed and been fairly successful in the Arena. Mittana snuck off away from her pride with them and asked all sorts of questions. She learned that the gear they used in the Arena are called ARMS and while the low ranking ARMS were weak and standardized, the higher the rank ARMS the more customizable and powerful they became and the highest ranking ones were fully customizable. This could lead to them being weaker than the lower rankings ARMS if mishandled, but they also had the potential to be more powerful than anything that has ever been seen.
Mittana and the adventurer talked all the way back to Gondaluke. She learned quite a bit from the adventurer, but there was one important thing that she had learned above all else for her. The way to gain more knowledge about the technology that her ancestors had stripped from most of their current generations was to find the people who provided assistance to adventurers. She asked the adventurer about it they didn’t know. They’d found an ARMS in a dungeon and ever since had been living the life of an adventurer, clearing dungeons as found them, selling off what he found, and moving along. Mittana was saddened by this, but the adventurer did point her towards the Nith`phane who always seemed to be the ones who dealt with the more complex things he needed done with the ARMS and the ones to answer when the called for help. The adventurer said that he’d seen that it was a Nith`phane that repaired any of the damaged technology in other settlements.
Some of residents Gondaluke consider this period to be the Great Nith`phane Hunt. When Mittana got home, she had a goal set. Search out the Nith`phane and get them to teach her everything they know. Every house, business, building, and cave was looked through and every rock and tree were investigated at every opportunity by Mittana. Her investigation went on for a year and was beginning to get under the skin of every resident. That’s when she had a break. She found one, but not just any one. She found the Debris Reclamation Association’s Technical Operations Manager. Without hesitation, once she knew what the DRA was, she joined.

The DRA was unlike anything she had been exposed to before. Advanced technology was all around her and she was required to take classes and apprentice. She needed to be taught many things to reach the required competency to fulfill any of the roles within the DRA. There was one other thing that stood out about the DRA. On the outside it took her a year to find 1 Nith`phane. Here, they were all around her, making up the majority of the population. It was too much for a Sil`phane to endure. Her instincts kicked in. She tried to fight it, but from time to time she found that she just couldn’t help it. She had to torment some of them. She was bigger than them and they were just so adorably tormentable. Of course, they didn’t appreciate this and once her training was done they sent her back to Gondaluke to man the outpost there which was essentially just a repair shack. However, she convinced some of the Nith`phane directors to become more public and open a hall in Gondaluke for adventurers and any new immigrants. She had other reasons for wanting this, but the DRA directors thought that there could be no harm from exploring it in an out of the way place like Gondaluke so they sent some staff there to run it along with Mittana, but it was to be largely left understaffed unless needed. It wasn’t long before Humans arrived.
