Vinátta

Vinátta started the year with hardship when the House Blackbourne, murderers of former Vináttan Bel Tlu'gv, came looking for further revenge upon her pack and family for Bel's transgressions. Attacks on members at the borders lead young leader Izrian Firebringer to call the pack together to warn them of the trouble, and organize a scouting mission to find information about their new enemy. Before they can do anything further with the information, the House Blackbourne crosses the border and attacks, killing the beloved Miskunn. Several days later, Ascher Stormbringer leads a group of warriors to kill the Blackbournes.

Hardship continued in the spring as sickness swept through 'Souls after steady rain. It was indiscriminate, and not even Sannindi Izrian was immune. Still, she patrolled the borders, but ended up venturing out into the Neutral Territories in her delirium. Searches turned up no sign of her. Without their leader, high-ranking pack members make the tough decision to disband the pack.
