After saving the Moon from the attack of a wild bear, she bestowed a gift upon Wolf: the ability to walk upright like a man. Together as they walked, she granted him a name of his own; Amarok: the wolf who walks like a man.
Coyote, seeing that the Moon favored Amarok, sought the council of a witch names Powaqa. She arranged to change Coyote into a man, but one day he would need to return the favor. Coyote agreed and so he became Istaqa: the man who was a coyote.
For many years, Istaqa, Amarok, and the Moon lived in peace as the harmony between them was restored. However, one day, Powaqa called upon the favor from Coyote. Unbeknownst to him, Powaqa was a banished star who was thrown from the heavens for the wickedness in her heart. Powaqa, Moon’s own sister, never forgave her for betrayal.
And so, under a dim twilight, while Amarok slept, Istaqa lured the Moon to the edge of the world and threw her off of the cliff. In her despair, the Moon cried out for Amarok. He awoke from his sleep and leapt to his death to try to save the Moon. For three days and three nights they fell through the earth into the heavens. Knowing that she would survive, but Amarok would not, she called out to Raven to rescue him. In the clutches of his talon, Raven brought Amarok back to the world.
After this, a great war ensued between Istaqa and Amarok that lasted for a hundred years. The earth suffered greatly during this time until Nadi, Powaqa’s daughter who sought to reconcile her mother’s evils, brought about a truce between them.
Istaqa was granted all the land of the Mountains, never to be touched by any wolf, while Amarok was given the Forests and all that lay between the trees, never to see the face of a coyote again. They were each given a mate; Kaliska the mother of all coyotes, and Nashobi the mother of all wolves.
Under no circumstances was this truce to be broken by any ancestor of the two tribes for fear that war would break out again.
Now, during the time of the full moon, one can hear the cries of Amarok and his descendents as they remember a time when they could walk with the Moon until the day that she can find a way to return.
This RP takes place in Garden Valley, an averaged sized town in the valley of the Kanti Mountain Range. Through this town flows a single river, the Orenda, that divides everything in half. There used to be two schools (grades 10-college) on either side of the River; Garden Valley East and Garden Valley West, but after a strong storm blew in from the mountains, Garden Valley West was destroyed forcing all of the students to transfer to Garden Valley East.
This is where the conflict arises. The two packs, the Istaqa clan has occupied Garden Valley East and the Amarok’s Garden Valley West since the day Nadi made the truce, but now they are forced to share one territory, a thing said to be forbidden.
