Races fought against each other in a brutal turf-war and for resources in the Era of Might.
It was a charnel-trench everywhere.
And places that are inhabitable, safe from the monsters roaming the land, are scarce.
Vampires have finished their metamorphosis through their Blood God, gaining the ability to manipulate blood and use harvest power from drinking it. Demons and Angels were busy fighting, and the reaching helping hand of the Angels was occupied by the Elves and Shapeshifters.
Werewolves are alone.
Obtaining the safe-haven of Inklaus barely a year ago helped a quarter of their population to survive the winter. Its trees have thick branches and leaves, keeping the heat inside and the cold outside. Harmless animals lived in abundance.
Something about Inklaus prevented beings that aren't animalistic and too strong to enter.
Hope.
Inklaus is the only safe-haven other than Axaralinkan, the main nest of the werewolves.
