When the Avatar arrived on Eodon in Savage Empire, the Kurak Tribe was his first contact with the natives, in the form of their princess Aiela. However, Darden the Huge from the Urali Tribe kidnapped her and injured the Avatar. After the tribe had nursed the hero back to health, they hoped that the stranger could rescue their princess. The Avatar managed to free Aiela from Darden's clutches, and thus gained chief Aloron's support in uniting the tribes against the Myrmidex threat, an idea that Aiela had proposed before the Avatar's arrival with little success.
