act I.
after the silverback wardens discovered a foreign homeland to call their residence, they settled after a while back into the more peaceful pack life with no peril probing their apprehensions. and as three months went by, the silverback wardens were at leisure, managing to live without any dangers or risks around the corner.
but after they thought it was serene, a foreign pack arrived upon the gaulgan steppe, known as the nightfall banes. so far, the silverback wardens knew nothing about these canines that overtook half of their domain. both of the packs throughout the same day encountered one another briskly. the meeting wasn't belligerent or chummy. both were wary and mistrustful of each other. who were these nightfall bane canines and what did they want? are they allies or foes?
will the packs live peacefully together, or will conflict erupt?
act II.
after some time of warming up to the thought of two empires dwelling beside one another. neither of them interacted entirely. just a few glance exchanges throughout hunting or patrolling, but nothing more or less. although one day, when a few silverback wardens went out to patrol, they didn't return and were reported as slaughtered in the nightfall bane region. devasted, yet bewildered. the silverback wardens investigated and identified the odor of the aggressor— a canine. it made sense to them, they supposed it was the nightfall banes responsibility since they were the belligerent ones after all.
but will the nightfall banes withhold from flaring into battle after the silverback wardens indicted them to be the slaughterers? or will they remain impassive and figure out how to confirm that they are blameless?
act III.
what was worse to come for the empires was winter. with food becoming a shortage came the outbreak of the big pack apprehension. with the hunt closed down and neither packs agreeing with one another it was clear that silverback wardens and the nightfall banes were not going to get along. and it didn't take long for a stringent weather storm to come to the gaulgan steppe with freezing temperatures, continuous snow, and little nourishment. it was a prosperous ground for disease. one that began in the nightfall bane, that slowly unfurled across each member.
news of a remedy came around, however, it was in the silverback warden domain. taking the gamble for the life of their members they crossed into the mining cave that silverback wardens owned. little did they know a cluster of silverback wardens were already within the coves abyss attempting to get as many supplies as they could before the storm thwarted them. the two packs met with loathing, though thankfully, the nightfall banes alpha granted one act of empathy to find the treatment. working together the packs found the flower and the cure for the illness. this was the start of a fragile alliance.
however, with the growing danger of the hunter season opening and some mysteries still being kept, will this fragile alliance remain? or crumble?
