For 500 years, the Calradia Empire united the tribes under the leadership of the Crowned Barbarian Empress. But as all things, corruption, greed, and a lust for power began to seep into. And when the Empress passed away, rather than follow the the new heiress, a civil war amongst the tribes has begun. Despite this, not all tribes craved such politics or power. Deep within the snow-capped northeastern Batchelet mountains, the reclusive Wind Winder tribe has long ruled the forested realm with an air of mystique. Their prowess as hunters has earned them a reputation as formidable guardians of the wilderness. For decades, few have dared to venture into their domain, until today when enemy forces unexpectedly travel through their territory.

Deep within the snow-capped northeastern Batchelet mountains, the reclusive Wind Winder tribe has long ruled the forested realm with an air of mystique. Their prowess as hunters has earned them a reputation as formidable guardians of the wilderness. Lead by their Alpha, Chief Matias Mooncry, few have dared to venture into their domain. Eliana is the rare person in her tribe that has refused the hunter’s trials, a coming-of-age ritual where you must hunt a wolf alone and take the pelt and head to make your own uniform. Rather, she has taken the role of wolf tamer, donning leather hides from elk. While a tamer is a noble profession, doing so has made her isolated from the rest of the tribe.

Ximena Muzzletooth

Ximena Muzzletooth stood atop a ravaged hill, gazing out at the scorched landscape. Her scouting party gathered around, their faces etched with anger and determination. The once-pristine lands of their pack lay in ruins, courtesy of the marauding armies that had torn through their territory. "We will not stand idly by," Ximena declared, her voice low and resolute. "We will not wait for permission to defend our home." She defied the orders of Alpha Matias, who had cautioned against direct confrontation. Ximena knew the risks, but she couldn't ignore the cries of her pack, the fallen, and the devastated land. "Prepare for guerrilla warfare," she instructed her party. "We'll strike from the shadows, exploit their weaknesses, and bleed them dry." Her comrades nodded, their eyes burning with a shared resolve.

Alpha Matias has issued the formation of troops, each with a squad leader. Each leader has been tasked to meet with the village shaman, Mala Softpaw, for blessing and advice before entering battle.
