Meliana

Anthro species are treated as pets, servants or just slaves. Those that can escape their imprisonment must survive on the streets or wander the wild as hopeless vagabonds. You are traveling and must pass through a mountainous region to reach the town that you seek. You decide to set up camp near the broken and crumbling remains of what appears to be a guard tower. As night begins to fall and you build a fire to ward off the chilling autumn air, you hear something. It comes from the ruins behind your camp, small cries that echo against the decaying emptiness.
