🪄The Lore: Echoes of an Ancient Realm

The Primordial Wilderness

Before Elderglade became a bustling city, it was a boundless, enchanted wilderness, where colossal trees touched the heavens and vibrant flora thrived in harmony. The land pulsed with ancient magic, a force that breathed life into every leaf, stream, and breeze. This energy still lingers, echoing through the forgotten rituals and crumbling ruins hidden in the city's shadows.

Creation of the Portals

In this lush expanse, the Deer—early masters of the arcane—tapped into the land's magic to craft mystical portals. These gateways, forged with knowledge now lost, connected distant parts of the wild and laid the groundwork for Elderglade’s future.

Birth of the City

As small settlements merged, they grew into Elderglade, a city carved into the ancient trees. Here, nature and civilization coexisted in harmony, with structures that breathed and lived as part of the forest.

Rise of the Families

Six families came to power:

• Wolves and Boars: Fierce protectors and leaders.

• Bears and Rabbits: Visionaries of peace and progress.

• Raccoons: Guardians of culture and craftsmanship.

• Deer: Keepers of arcane secrets, growing increasingly aloof.

Growing Tensions

As Elderglade expanded, resources grew scarce, and the land’s magic began to respond to the mounting tensions. The families found themselves locked in a delicate balance of rivalry and fragile alliances.

The Awakening

The land, stirred by the city’s conflicts, began to manifest its discontent through dark, twisted creatures rising from the earth. Whispers spread of a darker force at work, but the truth remained a mystery.

The Call to Arms

Facing this new threat, the families reluctantly united, preparing for battle while guarding against potential betrayal. Elderglade now stands on the brink of war, its future hanging by a thread. The families must delve into the land’s ancient magic to save the city, or risk losing everything to the rising darkness.
