I do not promise it a happy ending.</span></em></div><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">Once Upon a Time there was a kingdom straight from a fairytale that was nestled into the Dyr Mountains. Reigned over by an illustrious royal family, the kingdom of Atall was prosperous with trade and the furs from its forests were unmatched by any. Yet it was also on the edge of Tikaan territory, kept in a constant state of uneasy peace that most whispered could not last for very long. Last the peace did, for generations. And at the whim of a foolish prince it all came crumbling down.<br/><br/>Prince Aldrnari of Atall challenged the spirits of the mountains. He spoke of Father Moon and Mother Winter as long past superstitions, thought to expand into Tikaan territory and bring greater glory to the Atallan Kingdom. Yet Father Moon and Mother Winter are far from myth, and their wrath is swift.<br/><br/>Winter has set into the Dyr Mountains, but there is no spring in sight. It has been four years since buds were last seen on the trees. The people of Atall starve and resort to the old ways: offering beautiful young humans as a sacrifice to the Tikaan in exchange for protection and food. Bonds of fealty to king and country weather away to wisps as the winter nights grow long. Whispers grow of a nameless fear descending from the North—something more terrible than the wolven Tikaan could ever be.<br/><br/>As for the Tikaan, they grow strong and fierce in the winter. Their howls are a song of ash and marrow. For them it is the time of fulfillment, the coming of their savior: the Wolf Who Will Devour the World.</span><br/><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">This is a freeform fantasy game. It has an overall plot and GM-mandated plot events that characters may or may not participate in. However, individual character and story arcs are highly encouraged. At this time, only the applications for the Nadaecki pack are being accepted. If the game grows large enough, more packs might be added and there might be a possibility of adding in Tikaan hunters as playable characters.<br/><br/>Questions can be addressed here in the OOC, or via PM to <em>Cerevan</em>.</span><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">Important Links</span></span></strong></div><ul class="bbc_list"><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">Game's Wiki Page (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Wolfling_Winter): This includes information pertinent to the game, focused on generalities of the Tikaan and the Atallan Kingdom.

E.g. Skrida's Forge is simultaneously it's own thread, but also part of the village.

On the other hand, if his friend is visiting and they're going to have a drawn out 1v1 scene? This would go in the Skrida's Forge Thread.
