Band of Furries
Founding
The four heroes of prophecy meet.
Bitterfern the Wildwalker, Emmalyn the Kitsune, Sweets and Whimsy the Rougarou, set off on their journey.
Fire’s Domain
We start in the forest. Sweet paying way too much attention to the map gets swiped by a branch after stumbling around in the forest Whimsy points out the scent of a recent kill the duo with Whimsy carrying Sweet proceed further. They encounter Bindi- A Pomeranian Rogarou ‘elder’ who shares their encampment. After settling Sweet hears a noise and spots two golden eyes and wakes up Whimsy who trusts them enough to chase after whatever it was.
Shadow Monastery - Feywilds
Emmalyn is struggling to fit in and reaches out to their Satti and admits they don’t want to serve the court, intimidated by the sternness of them they push on and embrace their truth much to their guardians displeasure. They are threatened/warned against betraying but after questioning again they are hunted and chased from their home. A two tailed black fox with silver flecks and brown eyes leaves a black mask. Uncertainty in front and certain death behind, they take the mask and RUN!
Batun
Two mothers each with different coping mechanics one ‘smothering’ and the other detached but steadfast are promised by the enlisted family tabaxi assistant “Wispy” that ‘Lady Bitterfern’ will be well taken care of during her adulting adventure. A whole ‘party’ is voluntold to come with. The Woodleaf Siblings will be attending with them. Set off on their journey determined to prove themselves they fall asleep. They hear a voice and the woods and fall asleep seeing the golden eyes.
The Adventure Begins
But the group does not awake where they fell asleep. Instead, they awaken in a misty realm of dreams. The domain of
Gaez, Goddess of Memory, Dreams, and Fate. There, she names the group her champions, and begs for their assistance with her prophecy:
"
A scorned child’s return will blind his caretakers.
He will steal his mothers’ bones from their tombs, and make his way home.
There, he will make a wish. Darkness, destruction and fire will answer.
An autumn fern, sweet lilac, black foxtail, and ninebark leaves must light the dark, and quell the flame."
Though Gaez's priests remain unconvinced, they dare not question their goddess's choice.
And so it begins.
