The first Salamandyrs were created in the late 1950s in the [[Prime Universe]] by [[Professor Scarper]] by exposing a dozen or so wild salamanders he had personally captured to a mutagen intended to transform them into anthropomorphic creatures loyal to the [[First Horde]]. They were meant to be a proof-of-concept, but he rushed the project too much, resulting in the Salamandyrs' long list of genetic weaknesses. Writing them off as a failure, Scarper locked them in a cage in his laboratory until his [[The Ancient One|robot assistant]] rebelled against him and helped them escape along with himself. | The first Salamandyrs were created in the late 1950s in the [[Prime Universe]] by [[Professor Scarper]] by exposing a dozen or so wild salamanders he had personally captured to a mutagen intended to transform them into anthropomorphic creatures loyal to the [[First Horde]].

[[File:Salamandyr Emperor Full View.png|thumb|left|The [[Salamandyr Emperor]] on his throne. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Peace and Quiet (short story)|Peace and Quiet]]'')Having built a crude [[Void Ship]], the robot then took them to the [[Interdimensional Tavern]], where the Salamandyrs insisted on stealing better ships from the parking lot instead of trying to get by honestly; when the robot objected, they simply forced him to come along. After finding [[Salamandria|a swampy dimension to call their own]], they began mistreating him in much the same way as Scarper had done, to the point that he stole one of the ships back and left them. While he went on to found the [[Order of the Automata]], the Salamandyrs spent a while enjoying their new home before their [[Salamandyr Emperor|self-appointed Emperor]] decided to create an [[Imperial Salamandyr Army]] and use their fleet of Void Ships to loot, and occasionally conquer, other dimensions. | [[File:Salamandyr Emperor Full View.png|thumb|left|The [[Salamandyr Emperor]] on his throne.

Soon enough, [[Automatia]], which was home to the [[Order of the Automata]] that the robot had founded, came within their sights, leading to the [[First Great Salamandyr War]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Salamandyrs and the Automata (short story)|The Salamandyrs and the Automata]]'') As the War seemed hopeless, the Ancient One declared that he had a “secret plan”, and also that should he be killed, he had discovered a way to come back to life in the Order's hour of greatest need. The former part was a lie meant to boost morale, though the latter actually wasn't, but the Order never got the chance to find out as the Ancient One was destroyed in a surprise attack, only for the tide to then turn and the Automata to triumph against the Salamandyrs on their own powers.
