The two great Packs of Eybia are constantly at one-another's throats- they fight for food, for water, for shelter. They also fight for honour; if an assassin hired by one pack successfully kills another packs member, they retaliate, and so on and so on. The most primitive of reasons for fighting. But what they yearn for - and fight for - most, is the Control of the Pyramids of Lir. (The Control is the strongest thing a pack can have- it strengthens, lengthens and illuminates lives- it makes every sense alert and ready for action. It breeds the best wolves- strong, happy and long-lived. Control assures you a life for another turn of the moon.) Now I was thinking I'd like to go with a theme familiar to my home country, along with many others, a bloodred, ugly, wrenching word; colonization. So these two packs are ripping each others' guts out, and not co-operating, and generally dividing life, when along comes an enemy they had not expected- the invading Mennar hybrid wolves. Their main ambition is to take land for their country back home - a place called Dhakuirr. They just move in, trying to "civilize the savages" and "bring the land to its rightful conquerors". They're pretty bored at first, because to them, Eybia is just another little border island, ripe to be conquered, with stupid little inhabitants. It changes pretty quickly, their view. Soon the who of Dhakuirr is in uproar over the Pyramids of Lir. Eybia is no longer a half-imagined teastain on their map of the world, but the greatest place on earth. They want to take it from the natives, whom they know are not stupid. The Mennar know they must take it by force.
SPECIFICS
The Mennar-Hybridized amphibian wolves. They can choose to live in water or on land.
Dhakuirr- A country in a huge continent that spans most of the world, collectively know as Empire. Dhakuirr is its capital, its main port, and the desirable place to be.
Eybia- A small, virtually unnoticeable island some thousand kilometres off the mainland. Right in the middle of the Sea of Troye. The Mennar have known about it - and ignored it- for centuries, until they decided to invade it. The Eybians knew nothing of the rest of the world and could never swim far enough to find out. Boom. Instant warfare- just add colonization.
dare you enter?
