and speculation makes a fine mental excersise ^^



---



The Tigratus of Elkor, before the war, were almost All very peaceful monks. very few fought, and if any did, they wre almost always part of the Tigratus Golden Claw warrior cult.
When the war started, The tigratus chose to remain completly nuetral. they went about their lives in the eastern mountain regions, as if nothing was wrong.
the mountainous terrain where the Tigratus are roughly translated into the cloud hunters, as many are thin and pierce the sky. the bottom of these paticular type of mountains were hollowed out into small temples dedicated to the Tigratus Religon.
Tigratus would often seek to climb these mountains alone, and spend many days at the top , in the thin upper atmosphere above the clouds.
Many who came down from the mountains returned difernt beings, whos calmness and patience was ledgendary.
All Golden Claw warriors must climb the central mountain at the middle of the Cloud hunter range, as a rite of initiation. upon returning, the initiate would be accepted.
a young tigratus called Kiedo did this but unfortunatly never grasped the principle that was to be learnt.
He was rejected from the Golden Claws, but he still climbs the same mountain once a month to try and achieve the state of mind.

When the War between the Vulpes and Lupen was still in fledgeling form ,the Tigratus were sought by the Lupen of Elkhor to combat the Vulpes jungle forces. The Vulpes and Tigratus having a mutual understanding of each others principles, whlist not having formed a alliance, had certainly gained a factor of trust from them.
The Tigratus rejected the Lupen call to arms.

Needles to say, the Lupen did not take the rejection , and attacked several villages in Tigratus territory.
The Tigratus were very low in the technological tree, not to far above from the Lagamorphs (rabbit clans) but were quickly supplied by the Vulpes forces, who seeked to form a alliance. The Tigratus accepted the weapons, but declined the Vulpes a alliance.
The Vulpes , in contrast to the Lupen , backed away, requesting simply that they could set up severa l patrol bases within the jungle. an accpeted agreement.
interaction between the other two species is now relativly small.

Lagamorphs are widely accepted intot he Tigratus clans, as assistants mainly, and whilst they were fighting on both sides of the war, many also sought what the Tigratus did.

Kiedo, was mobilzed by the Tigratus monks into the defenseive force , and guards the north west of the jungle region. whilst he is not on duty, Kiedo has been known to disappear into the jungle and not return for many hours.


nevertheless, Kiedo always mangaes to get back to the mountain, scale it, and spend a good day or too amongst the blossom, trying to achiveve serenity. that may be sadly beyond his grasp
The symbol means happyness

For six months, I've tried to scramble up words for this.
For six months, I've come back to this piece, just to think of something to say.
But I finally figured it out; There Are No Words For This. It is what it is, there's nothing else to say about it.

I know you have been though a lot of shit since you drew this, Kovat buddy. But I want you to do something for yourself the next time Life throws a clawhammer at you.

I want you to look at this, I want you to take that Rite the Tigratus do. Climb that Mountain, And Find What Serenity You Have Lost. Maybe, just maybe, this War you've been in will finally end.
