Long ago, in a world far different from our own, there was a great wolf pack that went by the name Shinkou Ookami or Wolves of the Night. They had a fierce and bitter enemy in the creatures known as Druins and the Giaku pack which they had cast out from their land in order to purify the spirits of the magical lake in the center of the land. However, over time, peace was made and the two packs lived in harmony with each other. They stayed out of each others' ways and respected each others' territories.
But all was not fated to remain so serene.
For the Druins had a dark history, and though they had escaped their original purpose, there were many evil ones who had different plans in mind.
A new demon race of creatures rose up, seeking to plunge the Shinkou land back into chaos and sew evil back into the spiritual lake.
The demons came in mass armies, determined with their masters to annihilate the Shinkou wolves and all of the wolves involved.
So the Shinkou, Akeru (Shinkou allies), and Giaku wolves all joined together to fight off this threat to their lands. The war was long and hard and many lives were lost. Even some of the greatest of the old wolves were destroyed. But at last, after several years, the end of the war was in sight. The demons were finally being vanquished and victory was near.
However, after the battle was over, the wolves began to realize that the land itself had changed. What was left behind was a barren wasteland of dust and what plant life could remain was in thick shrubs and harsh cactus'. They sought out the greatest Earth wolves who remained, among them the wolf Vita, who had hidden himself until the war was over, and they took the next year or so to rebuild the land and restore life to its roots.
Finally, a new era began, after about five years from the start of the demonic war.
The wolves decided to band together more united than ever, joining what had once been separate packlands into one. They now called themselves the Empire of the Night, for they were joined as one when they had been many. Prominent figures and survivors of the war, including some members of the group once called the Defenders, rose to lead and protect the pack and formed a special group of trained wolves to prevent such a war from occurring again. This group now called themselves the Vorlfur.
The pack as a whole kept traditional wolf hierarchy, with some major differences. The Alpha, or rather the one named Emperor, was still given supreme authority over the pack and its decisions. However, he was given a counsel of advisers, made up of older wolves that had survived and prominent figures in the war that did not join the Vorlfur. Also, rather than becoming Alpha by sheer power and domination, he was nominated by his peers out of love and respect. Zefirino Coldbane, son of Icewulf Coldbane of the originals of the Vorlfur was the one chosen.
The Empire of the Night, or Noctre Imperii, is a large and strong pack that lives in this ancient land with the purpose of fairness as well as strength and protection against those who would threaten it.
