History
After been left on they own several centuries ago, the Shavadai continued to live according to the ancestral laws, with the fear of the other tribes like the Toughai. Eventually, Moughal, chieftain of the tribe, tried to change the "old ways", stating that trade will replace war. Unlike the other men of the tribe, Moughal tried to make an example with having only one wife, of whom he fell in love with. Among his tribe this attitude was considered as a weakness (SG1: "Emancipation").
