INFORMATION
For many generations, there have been stories told about a elusive wolf pack that resides in the Grim Woods. The territory consists of thick forest, so dense that sunlight cannot fully penetrate the tree tops. Flowers only grow in select few areas where there are breaks in the trees or little hidden patches of sunlight. Legends claim that the forest holds creatures from nightmares. Anyone who ventures into the Grim Woods is truly testing their luck. It is best to be avoided by anyone who is unfamiliar with the territory.
But a pack allegedly resides within those dark woods. It has been their home for as long as anyone could remember. At least, that is what the legend claims. The legend paints them as mysterious and full of trickery and deceit. They cannot be trusted. They are mad. They are deadly and cunning. These wolves are made out to be savages. To have never stepped in the power of the sun. They do not make contact with any of the other packs. Generations of their solitude have turned them away from the normal customs.
They are seen as monstrous outsiders. Damned souls who should keep to the shadows and should not be trifled with.
And what if those stories held some truth to them?
These stories are usually told to young pups as mere cautionary tales or as warnings. Wolves have casted these stories as make-believe. No one has seen any sign of wolves in those forests in generations. No one even bothers to enter the Grim Woods because there are far safer and better territories.
But something does lurk in the shadows.
The ShadowBane pack has made it their home for countless generations. They are well aware of the stories that are spun about them, too. And while they are not completely mad and insane monsters, they are a bit more dangerous than your typical wolf. Their home, for one, hardens them from a young age. On top of that, their training and standards for warriors is intense, making them a skilled pack. The rumors of them being elusive is true, as no one actually has seen them in a very long time. It has been so long since a sighting that another theory about them is that they merely died off. However, they are good at not being seen when they don't want to be. They pride themselves on their cunning as well.
Their secrecy and elusiveness is what makes their tales so intriguing. However, one night when they step out of their shadows and into the sun, it all changes. They emerge from their forest, crossing the open land to attend a gathering with other packs. Everyone is astonished, scared, confused, or all of the above. They are real. They are here.
They carry themselves cooly, remaining calm and quiet.
Then, they make their demands heard. They have had troubles at their borders. Someone has been provoking them. The ShadowBane wolves seem to be asking for help? Or at least making this news heard. Or are they conducting a secret investigation to see if these neighboring packs are guilty?
Little do they know, there is a secret coalition that is forming. Wolves from the Moon, Dawn, and Night pack have met in secret. They have one common enemy: the ShadowBane pack. They intend to try and turn their packmates against the dangerous wolves. They want to gain power. They want to see the ShadowBane wolves fall.
Loyalties will be tested.
Secrets will be unearthed.
And blood will be spilled.
