Seasons

There are four seasons which occur over different parts of a year. These are winter, spring, summer and autumn. During these seasons certain weathers occur more frequently than during any other season. Each season lasts between 80 - 120 days, but there will be no more than 380 days over the course of the four seasons.

A short summer is often feared to be followed by a long winter, but this is not always the case. There are many ways which furs interprate when the seasons change. Weather, migrating animals, the colour of leaves in trees, etc...

It is not uncommon for certain tribes to believe that they have had a short spring while others believe they have had a long one.

When describing their age furs will commonly say that they are X-amount of winters old, some might refer to any other season if they were born during that season, but referral to winter is most common.

Shaman

Those who commune with nature and the Guardian Deities*. These furs are often healers and are welcomed by most communities and are given a station as an advisor when villages can convince them to stay with them. They use rituals to commune with the Deities both the Twelve and other lesser Deities.

Some Shaman bond with lesser Deities for periods of times so that they use the Deities power or let the Deities act through them. This ritual is not with out risks as sometime the deity and Shaman become inseparable and either the Shaman or Deity gains take control of the hosts body. In some cases they merged to become a new furson, neither the shaman or the Deity, but a new personality all together. All Shaman are sworn enemies of Magi* and Demons*.

Spirit of Eden

A spirit made from the beverage the Fire of Eden*. They add several plants to it and let it ferment over a longer period of time which causes it to lose the sweetness of the original drink and has an increased potency and even more of fiery after taste.

_ Southern Plain _

A large expanse of land full of lush grass and watering holes. No tribes actually live in this area however many tribes come here to hunt the many varieties of feral animals that graze here.

_ Stratos Wolf _

Dark Pelted wolves that live in the on the Border of the Southern Plain* and the Dark Forest*. The more reserved of the wolven tribes, not taking part in open aggression in the war between Dragons and Wolves. The are however looked down on as more savage and primitive than most tribes, commonly taking part in brutal traditions and ceremonies as part of their culture. They are exceptionally protect of their homeland, often killing traders and travellers on site if they roam too close to their village regardless of their race and not caring for their reasons for visiting. It is not known which of the Guardian Deities* that they worship due to their self imposed isolation.

_ Tallarn Wolves _ -

_ Tal'use _

An anceint language, rarely used in the present day. It is commonly used when referring to the _ Twelve Guardian Deities* _ as it was the primary language of that time. Few can read the language let alone know how to speak the language. The Yanzo Dragons* are suggested to be the most adept at being able to understand the ancient language.

_ Tamile Tree _

A tree that is found to grow only in marshes. A moss grows on it which flowers with large beautiful purple and yellow flowers. These flowers are often harvested for the oil that dwells in them to produce Manseer oil*. The largest supplier of the oil comes from the privately owned marshes from the far east of the tribal lands, owned by a wealthy family of foxes, in the tribal village of Manseer* , that resides on the outskirts of Manseer swamp*.

_ The Garden of Eden _

A Tavern which is also a hotel and brothel located in Rengilar Village*. It gets it's name for the large garden that surrounds it. They brew many of their beverages from the herbs and plants that grow in their extensive garden, their most popular beverage is called the Fire of Eden*.

_ The Travelling Maiden _

A popular tavern located in _ Zangar*. _

_ Thorax bush _

A bush that only grows in _ Garavdian Valley* . It can take as long as five winters for this bush to grow berries from one batch to the next. The berries, commonly known as **_Porlutus Berry*** , are made into _ Garavdian Wine* _.

The bush was named after a Jackle that was a well known alchemist. He bred various plants, trying to take their strongest properties to create an sturdy and nutritious food source, one durable enough to grow in the harsh deserts like the ones he grew up in to bring wealth and prosperity to his people. He died shortly after breeding this plant after sampling another berry form another bush he had bred, however the berry was incredibly poisonous and looks almost identical to the _ Thorax Bush _. The only difference between them is the shape of the berries that grow on them. The other berries are called _ Mortus Berries* _.

_ Tribal lands _

The Northern lands where there is mostly open plains. Within the area there are over 80 separate Villages. In these villages, the same types of species tend to gather and live, following the teachings of one or more of the _ Twelve Guardian Deities.* _

Over time many of the Tribal people break away from the rural way of life and and have set up villages of their own where they are not restricted by the traditions of the Tribes but these settlements are scorned by most of the Tribes and have on occasion been attacked by the tribes but since the population of these villages have grown to the point where they out number many of the Tribes the attacks have been few and far between.

War between tribes is also common but the longest and bloodiest of these wars in the history of the tribes is that of the one between many of the wolven Tribes and the Draconian Tribes, which unlike many other wars where it is tribe against tribe, it is a full on species war. Many wolven tribes will fight any race of Dragon that cross their path.

_ Tribal Villages _

The Villages that have been around for hundreds of years following the teachings of the _ Twelve Guardian Deities* _. Each village chooses to follow the teachings of one or more of the Deities more closely than the others but all are educated in the ways of the twelve.

The Teachings of the twelve bestow understanding of the lands and moral rules to follow. In the past few generations more and more are moving away from the rural and primitive life styles that most Tribal villages live in. This has lead to several new settlements having been founded by such furs as many look for protection and safety with others like themselves.

Many of the more strict and traditional villages, in particular the majority of the wolven villages have taken a strong objection to such settlements having been founded. In the early years of this sudden upheaval of beliefs these new settlements were attacked and many were killed. Since then the villages have grown in size, and are large enough to be able to fend off such attacks. Some of the Tribal Villages however have accepted these new settlements, and have even slackened their own traditionalist views within their villages.

This was one of the factors that were the caused the hatred of Dragons in many of the wolven Villages, and consequently restarted the war between their species, which has lasted for over 30 generations. Around the time that these new villages began to appear, the draconian villages sympathised with the homeless refugees and gave away part of their own lands to help them settle and build their new settlements.

There are several breeds of Vallhallan dragons which have come from various mating with other species, while inter species breeding rarely produces offspring, the Vallhallan dragons have been very successful with breeding with various avian species with which have produced several prominent and desirable traits. These breeds have been made into 'clans', but most of these 'clans' are often just being used by the more powerful clans as what could be described as slave labour. There is little stopping these 'clans' from leaving their captivity other than their desire to maintain their status among society and allow their families to get the best in life.

(The) Waste Lands

A large expanse of land in to the south east of the tribal lands. Volcanic activity has made the lands dangerous and infertile. Pools of water will sooner peel the flesh from bone than quench thirst. Nothing can live or grow in this region and none know what exists beyond it. The Waste lands lie between two mountain ranges, they have been named the _ Demonic Mountains* _ due to the volcanic activity that never ceases and makes them too difficult and dangerous to traverse. Travelling by sea to the other side has also proven useless as the sea on both sides of the Waste Lands are littered with never ending storms, rocky out crops and sea monsters of all types.

Many rumour that Tridenn and Hesh'na gather their might here to protect their faithful followers of the _ Tribal Lands* _ from the horrors that live on the other side. Others have suggested that just maybe, they are protecting those on the other side from them.

Many have tried to traverse the land and most have never returned, the few that did where half dead from thirst and starvation and bore tales of the endless wastes that rolled on

forever and of fearsome creatures that defied logic and reason. Creatures of such appearance that none could find the words to describe them and the very thought of them caused many to die of fear just by thinking of them.

What lies on the other side of the wasteland is shrouded with mystery and rumour, most wishing that none successfully make it to the other side lest what resides there be worse thanthe creatures that lie reside in the waste land.

It was said that in the mountains the hidden shrine of Jan'Zar is hidden in the mountain range and that this was one of the reasons for the attack.
