The Lore of Fenrir's Children. (The Northern Clans)
Before Fenrir bit the hand of Odin, he had many sons and daughters. They had spread across the lands as wolves often mistaken for dire wolves. The majority of them stayed to the mountains. After Fenrir bit the hand of Odin, many of Fenrir's first born were slaughtered in punishment. The few that remained escaped further into the mountain's depths, caves and valleys.
When man came to fight the frost giants, they mistook the wolves for guards and attempted to slaughter them down. All but one of Fenrir's children survived. Torr, son of Fenrir, grew with such hatred at the loss of his siblings and kin alike, that he cursed the humans. Turning them into half beast half man. The curse would travel down the line of every survivor. Every birth, bore a new kind of offspring. Some effected and driven into a blood rage by the full moon, while others could learn to control their shifting.
Eventually Torr grew fond of his own creations. Guiding them and teaching them the ways of Fenrir. The ways of the Hunt. When Torr fell, his children rose in such a violent fury...

Far in the Northern lands, beyond the trees deep and high within the mountains lived a primal race of man like beasts. Blood thirsty creatures that were slowly depleting the already sparse food source of the land. Fighting the frost giants and sending avalanches down below. Very little was known of them until the Frost Giants came down from the mountain to attack the chosen of Odin.
Leaving a path of destruction that lead down into the valleys where small villages were left in the wake of the war. When the Frost Giants were pushed back, their paths remained allowing these beasts travel down to a new food source.
The few humans and vikings left in the small villages did not stand a chance. Beasts that stood taller than them, that seemed to heal from their wounds quicker and head back to the battle field within hours or days. Screams would travel down on deaf ears as the rest of the races busied themselves with trying to rebuild and repopulate after the war. The first full moon after the attacks, more would come.. and then more. The army seeming to grow with each person that went missing.. until none remained in the far northern citadels.
For a while howls could be heard rolling through the lands. Though dismissed as casual wildlife or lost hounds. Beastly fights, that shook the old fir and pine trees, would spark lore and campfire tales. Those who traveled to these villages would not return.. and, if they did, it was to claim all was right. That the people on the outskirts of the world were thriving on little to no resources at all.
These creatures would grow to become docile to a point.. worshiping the moon and the Nordic Gods. Split into several clans and creating rules and order among themselves. They never seemed to travel far from these villages. Becoming a thriving powerful community of shifters and developing skills to improve their battles. They followed old rituals to honor the Gods. There would be many an animal skull left upon the hunting grounds to show respect to the God of the hunt, Ullr.
The clans created were 9. The Elders, The Iron Jaw, The Shadow, The Ice, The Spiral, The Broken Fang, The Stalker, The Bane and The Blood. Each clan to their own profession filled with shifters of nearly every type. https://twistedgenetics.forumotion.com/t14-the-northern-clans https://twistedgenetics.forumotion.com/f11-race-info
When the pale twins were born, Arianna and Aric, there were many rumors spread. Mostly that the female Alpha of The Iron Jaw had been unfaithful with the only other white pelt in the clan. There was a third white male born. Elders were called upon to explain how the three children had survived being born so close to a full moon, and The Elders confirmed that the pale twins were not related to the third white pelt born. The pale twins were touched by the moon, great things were in store for one. Arianna. However, during a ritual that involved marking Arianna, Isiru (The Iron Jaw Female Alpha) panicked and killed an Elder. The rest of The Elders chose to strip her of her gift causing her to age rapidly and die by the time her children were 3 years of age.
Arianna was trained along side Aric and Eindride. The three white pelts excelled in battles. Though Arianna would prove to have a more dominant personality and stronger abilities than the two males. It was clear she would be an Alpha and would/could possibly be the next Alpha of The Iron Jaw Clan. As she became of age she started to become more and more alone. Her brother finding his mate and the other wolves afraid to befriend her she would have plenty of time to explore the Iron Jaw lands. Then she met him.
At first it was a battle between her and the unknown dark wolf that dared to challenge her on the edge of the Iron Jaw hunting grounds. But soon she found herself going back over and over again, arguing with him and eventually talking. Though he refused to give her his name, she had already surmised he was one of the shadow clan. Soon it would turn into love.
One night, Arianna's father Gaireth (Alpha of the Iron Jaw) spoke. The Alpha of the Shadow Clan had expressed interest in an alliance with the Iron Jaw. The condition, Arianna become his mate. This upset the pale twins greatly, as Aric felt the need to go with her regardless of if he would be welcomed in the shadow clan or not.. While Arianna was torn between her love of her clan, and the love of the dark male that continued to meet with her on the hunting grounds.
The Shadow Clan did not agree with the Alpha's decision to alliance themselves with the Iron Jaw. In fact they were outraged at the idea of him mating with the white pelt, especially when one had been chosen for him already. This caused a clash and sent the Alpha and his brother apart from their clan. When the dark wolf met with Arianna again upon the edge of the hunting grounds he would bring his brother to introduce them and confess to Arianna that he was the Shadow Clan Alpha.
After meeting with Arianna, Gunnar took Annoth to a sacred ground to talk of his plans. He was going to leave the Shadow Clan and create a new one with Arianna as his mate. Though Annoth disagreed with his brother on all of it, he supported his love for Arianna and would choose to follow him into the new clan. Arianna would leave the Iron Jaw Clan shortly after. Followed by her brother and his mate. It was not long before all of the clans had heard of the 10th clan's creation. Anger would spread and they would become hunted.
Kurnin, a dark druid of the shadow clan; angered by Gunnar's choice to abandon not only the Shadow Clan but his daughter as his mate, took place as the Alpha. He would send out massive hunting parties, not to capture but to kill the clan before they could even get established. Gunnar and Annoth's father sent out his own hunting party to find and warn them.. but he was to late. Gunnar would be cornered and killed. Annoth would disappear into a strange mist. Arianna would fight off a great deal, killing 9 wounding one and fleeing with the rest of her pack to the ships to try and escape their fates.
Arianna and the rest of the Frost Fang would soon disappear into the mists as well. Some would die, some would go missing.. Kurnin would continue his angered and fevered attempts to bring order to his clan. Turning to dark magic.. and ultimately destroying the land. By the time Arianna, Vida and Annoth escaped the mists, they were all that were left of the Frost Fang. Looking to rebuild. Shortly after, Annoth's father's hunting party found them. Convincing them to come back to the Northern Clans to speak with the Elders. By the time they all returned.. it was to late.

The land devastated and traps set with talisman and the dead everywhere. The closer they got to the main Shadow Clan village, the more obvious it was of where the darkness had come from. After a great battle.. and a few losses.. Arianna, Annoth, Vetis, Ludo and Vida found themselves spending the next 18 years searching the clan lands for those who might have survived, burying those who did not, along with Arianna's first offspring. Due to the physical damage from the fight with Kurnin, the baby was still born months later.
Finding a land run by a kin who was placed as King, they decided to settle. They would be there for a while, their clan building to the point of needing to move.. they moved to the free lands, though Arianna would continue to answer the call of the King. Annoth continuing his walks to try and restore the lands destroyed by Kurnin, driving himself mad with guilt that had he not left.. had he not encouraged Gunnar to be with Arianna; none of this would have happened, his first child would not have died.. Until he simply stopped returning. Leaving Arianna in a state of grieving.. as she felt she had failed her entire pack once again. The pack losing its faith, would split.. till all that was left was Arianna and her spirit walker Vida.
Until Eindride and Sunthor came into her lands, giving her hope that not all of the clans had met demise due to Kurnin's curse. That perhaps they had simply scattered to escape the evil that nearly destroyed the Northern Clans all together... and the King would call upon her once again for a great battle.
Later to find out, the two shadow born pack brothers had not left, but were captured by the remaining of the blood clan, a war was soon to break out. The blood tides rose with a deathly illness.
