History of Anikira

[Deleted]

Outline of past IC events to summarize everything that has happened thus far and explain the time skip that occurred while the site was on haitus. This covers the main plot points that have occurred. More detailed information concerning the site's history can be read in our archives.

I. Human Labs (pre-IC history)

The humans of planet Earth had long lived in harmony with mother nature. However, in the past hundred years, things had been different. The humans no longer respected animals, and many of the species were restless. A group of wolves searched the land masses for some way to get away from the human menace. The year 1960 was upon them...

They found their solution near the coast of Africa. Over hundreds of years, somehow unseen by humans, continuous volcanic activity formed a new land mass. This area had become a utopia over the years, and the animals realized that this might just be their chance to get away. They swam from the coast, drawing further and further away until they could no longer see the mainland. They finally reached the sandy beaches of a new continent. This area, for now unknown by humans, was exactly what they had been searching for. The animals quickly settled into their new home. The animals lived in harmony for over forty years.

In 2000, the humans finally surveyed the land mass. Somehow, their scientists had overlooked this land, and their ship routes had mysteriously passed it by. A horde of humans flooded the continent, sticking their noses in where the wolves believed they didn't belong. Mankind attacked them, slaughtering all the wolves in sight and burning large areas of the island. Finally, accepting that this place was not fit for human life after their tyrade, the scientists left, deeming the land uninhabitable.

Wolves that had hidden from the human's flames and the merciless weapons slowly began to emerge from their hiding places. Over the next eight years, the plant life gradually grew back. Now, the wolves needed to figure out a way to survive with many of their resources exhausted...

II. The Forgotten Bomb

With the exit of mankind, three packs arose from the ashes to start a new life in Anikira. Aldgar, led by the brave alpha Xinelil, Salen, led by the strong alpha Exodus, and Zahir, led by the sweet alphess Isolde, started the new foundation for the wolven population. The packs grew at a steady rate, but it seemed that tragedy could not be avoided. Zahir was virtually destroyed by a volcanic eruption in the Occasus. A new alphess, the hard-headed Alya, rose to the task of leading the new pack. Alas, the femme's rule was short-lived, as all but one member of the Zahir Pack was slaughtered by the rogue, Ardemu.

Meanwhile, disaster was brewing unbeknownst to the wolves. The humans had left behind a bomb, nestled in the ruins of their test site in Kamari. Spirits contacted Exodus, warning him about the impending danger. Exodus spread the word to the packs, alerting them to the potential hazard that would unfold. Without being aware of his assistance, Ardemu ripped the wires from the bomb, disarming the explosives as he left the mangled bodies of the Zahir Pack behind.
