Generations ago, two packs clashed in a tremendous battle. With heavy losses on both sides, each pack fought until the leader of one side was felled by the other. Arshigo prevailed and forced the other pack, the Keva’al, to leave. The heir to leadership of the Keva’al vowed vengeance on the Arshigo for the death of their leader and the eviction of their pack. Then, they left. What was left of Arshigo made their own decision that day, to keep to themselves and stay within their pack territory because they did not desire and could not afford another conflict so major.

As time passed, a clan of lynx moved in alongside Arshigo and a mischievous pack called Dirac staked claim of their own lands as well. The lynx were a friendly group and often tried to befriend Arshigo and inquired what their past was, but Arshigo always declined their offers and said nothing enlightening about their past. Dirac was one to become a thorn in everyone’s side, pulling pranks and making mischief with every chance they got. Anyone made a suitable target and those in Dirac were bold enough to take their pranks to lands not even their own.

Then came the day when strangers appeared and settled down in once abandoned lands: the Keva’al had returned, still holding their grudge despite the generations since the war. Through plots, schemes, and other forms of recruiting, they worked their numbers to grow so that one day they could settle the score. Their leaders were vicious and their ways were ruthless as they worked toward their goal. As their strength grew, so did their chances of success against the Arshigo, even as the Arshigo discovered their return.

Unfortunately, nature has a way of throwing its own twists into everyone’s plans. A mountain in Keva’al, known as Abattu, erupted. It rained destruction and debris across Keva’al. What lands were not irreparably damaged became void of prey thanks to the scare. The Keva’al wolves were forced to leave their lands, becoming a nomadic terror. Their numbers had been reduced thanks to the eruption, but their goals were still the same.

Another victim in the spring the year the volcano erupted was the lynx clan. Their numbers had been dwindling, but the final blow came when their leader was killed protecting a youngster. The clan was thus destroyed and a potential ally of the Arshigo vanished, leaving them more alone for when the day came that Keva’al finally would start a new war...
