As I recall, the antipathy arose when ducks were blamed for the Starbrow rebellion (how and why I don't know -- any ideas?). This lead to a bounty being anounced of a years tax exemption for every duck head by the Lunar Empire ( I believe this is now (c1620) rescinded). This lead to the ducks fleeing deeper into the marshes or fleeing into Prax where they hide in the south of the Zola Fel valley. Here I think they are loyal Orlanthi, still pursued by the Lunars as outlaws and distrustful of and distrusted by other Sartarite refugees.
If you have players from the River of Cradles campaign, there might be a good scenario in making the Ducks strong allies of the Zola Fel people by the involvement of the River Heroes.
