The land east of the great mountains, the land of Kedige, is not a forgiving one. Its winters bring starvation; its summers bring fires fiercer than the strongest grizzly. The wolves who reside in the foothills and on the slopes are brave, or maybe foolish, simply for choosing to exist there, but it has been this way for generations. Naturally, the demanding lives led by the inhabitants have bred strong and courageous wolves, wolves with good hearts who will defend their packs and their lands, even to the gruesome painful death. Also, though, the land of Kedige has bred wolves with seething hatred toward packs not their own. There are three large packs who roam here: the Uutar:the Ones of the Scree, the Eirir: the Ones of the Hills, and the Rretili: the Ones of the Spruce. All share borders with each other, and all occasionally fight bloodily to get the choicest hunting grounds. This has been the way for as long as anyone can remember. However, this way is about to change. The fire season has become longer. Bears and mountain lions are thriving. The wind makes the trunks of the trees groan menacingly and rockslides seem never to end. These are the signs of the change. Packs will splinter. Wolves will die. The wolves of each pack will coalesce, and either their hatred will kill them or their good hearts will save them. TL;DR: You're from one of three wolf packs that hate each others' guts. Bad things happen to each pack (famine, disaster, whatever) and force members from each to join together and survive.

[b]More on the Packs[/b] [hider=The Uutar] The Ones of the Scree. They live above treeline on Uutar Mountain. They're known for having a fierce and suspicious nature towards those they don't know, but would happily leap off a cliff if it meant making the pack safe. [/hider] [hider=The Eirir] The Ones of the Hills. This pack roams the foothills and part of the wooded slopes of the mountains. Most commonly they fight against the Rretili. Their disposition is the most laid-back and calm of the three packs, and they also tend to be the smallest and the fastest. [/hider] [hider=The Rretili] The Ones of the Spruce. These wolves inhabit the evergreen forest between treeline and the grassy foothills. They are known for being quiet, stoic and [i]very[/i] stealthy. There are rumors that a One of the Spruce could be standing in the shadows in front of an unsuspecting wolf, and they wouldn't see.
