According to the earliest records of the Men of the White Tribe, in the days before they rose to power as the nation and eventual empire of Seluria, there is mention of a nation of humans who fell to the worship of the demonlord Tulchulcha, but that is another tale for another time. To the peoples of Sel, this land of demon worshippers was called Duus, and through the horrific rites conducted there to and for their "Master of Monsters" the great lizards of that land were transformed to the creatures the Selurians would come to call, as we now call them today, Basilisks.The wicked Men of Duus kept and bred these creatures as guard pets, battle hounds, and in one account there existed an immense breed used as war-mounts. They increased their power and territory even to the remoteness of Vot, leaving fields of lifeless stone in their wake. For you see, the creature's gaze is sure to infict a stony death upon all who gazed upon them, petrifying the very skin and blood and soul. After which, the monsters consume their meal of rocks which, in turn, strengthens the rock like hardness of their hides. With the fall of the Duusa the creatures, as many as could be, were destroyed. But it is an accepted fact that not all were slain or captured and made their way into the dark recesses where the servants of darkness dwell and, from time to time, haunt a ruin or barren waste to the detriment of all those in the region as none can face the creature, and survive, to remove it.</blockquote>
