Over 13,000 years ago, the High Ones crash landed on the World of Two Moons, seeking others of their kind. However, due to the betrayal of the diggers in their space-travelling home, an accident sent them too far back in time and their landing was met with fear and death.
Over the turning of the seasons, the surviving elves adapted and scattered, changing themselves intentionally and not so intentionally to ensure their continued survival. One group, led by Timmain, the Self-Shaper, went north. There she shapechanged to a wolf to keep her people fed. As a wolf, she bore a son: Timmorn Yellow Eyes. He became the first chief of the Wolfriders. From him came the Wolfriders - and the wolves to which they bonded.
Eventually, the dual blood in Timmorn parted him from the Wolfriders and the remaining High Ones and he abdicated his position to his daughter, Rahnee She-Wolf. From her and her lifemate, Zarhan Fastfire, the numbers of the Wolfriders grew. The tribe prospered at times, and weakened at others. During the prosperous times, their numbers grew and eventually they had to split so that the land would not be overburdened.
The first parting of the tribes was led by Rahnee's firstborn, Stalker, called Brighteyes as a cub. All through the long millenia that followed, Stalker's line led his branch of the Wolfriders. There were more splits within the tribe until, finally, Sureshot became chief and a time came to once again have a parting of the ways.
It is a peaceful parting, spurred by necessity and not defiance.
Led by Stormfire, youngest child of Sureshot, a three eights and more of the Wolfriders went to search out a new Holt. Comprised mostly of young elves eager for adventure and challenge, the inexperienced young chieftess ventured out into the unknown, searching for a new home with plentiful game and free from the human taint.
Our story begins as Stormfire parts with Sureshot's tribe. What adventures will they meet on their quest to establish a new Holt?
