Chapter 1

On that day a foul wind swept across the wastes, its howl chilling beyond
the swirling mists of frost sending tremors amidst the roughly hewn beastial
hides encasing the clan. Billowing drifts of snow and ice rustling the flaps
of the tents in trepidation of the long night ahead. There was no need for
flame within the hut, their furs and their pelts embraced them against the
cold and their eyes could see beyond the shroud the moonlight. It mattered
little, the eyes of the advesary had grown accustomed to the temptest over
the millenia, compared to them they were but naive children cowering behind
the sheets.

Without warning the blades fell upon them, severing sinew and crushing bones.
Rough hands wrapping around the necks of young and old alike snapping like
twigs beneath stone and tossed into the pile of kindling for the pyre...

This was but one night of many that foretold the end of tribe Nvheshk, what
remained of their kind scattered upon cool winter winds into darkness of the
tundra. One such flake carried along the breeze was a young cub known to his
people as Karvesh.
