Welcome to our lands, stranger. For years, Razna and Taran have been at war with each other. A final battle ended the long lasting war, and the life of the tyrannous leader Scar. After his death, a wolf called Night took over his kingdom. The two kingdoms were finally at peace with each other- but not for long. After the death of her lover, Anouk suspected Night of committing the crime and severed all ties to the neighboring kingdom. The two kingdoms tiptoe on the verge of another war. Will a truce be made between the spiteful queen and the young leader? Or will the armies rise once more at each others throats? The only way to find out is to Join our ranks or Return to your kingdom.
After the war between Scar and Anouk, Night and Anouk took up their duties as rulers of each kingdom.
When the two new Queens took up rule, each sector had changed remarkably. Different cultures, beliefs, and celebrations had been formed, although the two rulers had maintained constant peace with one another - remembering that they were indeed old friends. And the two societies, however contrasting they were, grew as a working unit and flourished. Night worked her hardest to relieve her kingdom from the harsh life Scar had forced upon them, creating a less harsh life for her subjects.
But as time passed, Anouk had taken a King - a handsome, puphood lover named Shrike. In the beginning, his intentions seemed pure and honest but when days grew into months, Night became suspicious of his real intent. The court was convinced, by word of mouth, that Shrike was plotting a wicked overtaking and had planned to execute Anouk in the process.
Night voiced her deepest concerns to her friend, but the eldest would hear none of the false slander about her love. Anouk even went to the extent of calling it preposterous, and ordered her friend escorted out of her lands.
Yes, for the very first time the land was divided.
Then, in the dead of night when not a star could be found in the sky, a shadow fled into the castle where Anouk and Shrike slept. They were determined to solve this issue they faced, once and for all.
Though when the night was finally over and the deed had been done, Shrike was no longer - his lifeless body slain. Anouk was left to grieve a sorrowful loss, and a most apprehensive Night was guilty of murdering a King. But now, the proclamation had been made by the word of Anouk - they were to be divided, indefinitely.

Taran is the empire ruled under Anouk. While the expectations are less harsh than their Raznaian counterpart, Anouk remains to keep a firm grasp on her empire. Punishment in Taran ceases to be as extensive as Razna, and the dwellers of this empire are, for the most part, neutral beings with a sense of justice and morality. Anouk also strives to shape Taran into a strong yet kind empire.
Razna is the notorious empire under the harsh, constricted, and corrupt rule of their previous ruler, Scar. Although their new Queen, Night, is working to lift some of the harsh laws of her brother, many wolves have lived in the corrupt land for far too long and still cling to their ways. Not only this, but every citizen of Razna is branded with a mark to forever encompass their unwavering loyalty to Scar.
The Forest of Razna is an unkind maze of fog, trees, swamps, and vine. Few Raznaian's tackle the area, though as pups they are educated in its importance to the empire. It borders an area of Taran, giving Razna a shield against invasion. More rumors about the Beast originate here, as well. Many Taranian's who are tried in the Coliseum utter words of terror about the creature. Although it is said that the animal will not attack or harm a Raznaian, it will not help one who wanders too far into the fog.
This area is forbidden to all because of a cursed beast that belongs to the Razna Empire lurking in its dark, dank shadows. The Woods are very thick on the Taran side of the border, causing it to be a hassle to even attempt to steal into if you care nothing for your life. The very first law is for all Taranians to avoid the place at all cost. If you care for your standing in the empire, you will obey.
This is a thread where anyone can post at any time, anywhere with anyone. (It's really helpful when you're stuck waiting for someone to reply to your current thread). You do not have to time stamp here, and none of the posts have to go along with the plot if you don't want them to.
