Long, long ago, the trees whispered stories.
Long, long ago, the trees whispered stories of the Mother, Mutei, and how she had taken her great paws, dug a great den, and gave birth to the first Letonas. On that night, stars danced across the sky, rejoicing in the life that had been given to the land that had been forgotten.
For generations, the Letonas lived in solitude in a land called Ethereal, Eteria, honoring the Mother and the land. Pleasure and honor was of the utmost importance. Their oaths were bound in blood, blud, spoken before the Earth, Urt, the Moon, Mui, and the Stars, Shtas. The regents word was law, receiving messages from the Shamans, who interpreted the world around them.
They first settled in Lykani Wood, in the heart of Eteria. They lived here for a long while, generations passing them by like the wind. Eventually, as many do, they lost sight of Mutei. They thought they knew better. This was their first downfall. Another tribe, the Ambrofax, found their way into the land, influencing them. This became known as the Great Fire, Grai Fir. Ash scorched the land, destroying what once stood as a great forest.
After that, the Letonas did not lose sight of Mutei.
They travelled through Eteria, from place to place, honoring the land that they lived on. They told tales of great beasts, practicing rituals and thanking Mutei for their bounty. For a long time, they lived happily.
Rosalia was the last Regent of the Letonas before the fog overtook Eteria. During her reign, she settled the tribe in Raveres Adamant. During this time, many sought out the lands of Eteria, finding peace and war within its borders. She struck alliances and made enemies, but they survived. She ruled alongside her siblings, Yarreza and Tulisa, keeping the Letona line strong.
For them, the fog became known as the Curse, cruei, destroying what had once been a blessed place. Mutei had turned against Eteria! They had to escape. They had to survive.
East of Eteria, they settled in the Amethyst Haven. A few generations had passed as the Cruei remained in Eteria. Rosalia’s descendants continued to learn the ways of a Regent, in case the day may come that Mutei invites them home.
Then, the Cruei dissipated. Three generations had passed. Shamans had carried on the stories and tales of the Letonas, and Delphia, the lone descendant of Rosalia Letona, was tasked with returning to Eteria.
Now, the tribe has followed her there, and it is time for them to reclaim what was theirs.
