Sevel is a world untouched by humanity. Instead, the apex predator of this planet is the common house cat. This race became known as Felinae. The Felinae have highly developed intelligence and dexterous thumbs. These creatures are unable to stand on their back legs for long periods of time, and they can lift objects at 2x their own strength. They have night vision, which allows them to see in low light conditions.

They developed their own societies and cultures all over Sevel. Mastering weapons of all shapes and sizes over the years. The only weapon they have yet to create is the gun, mostly due to the lack of materials to create that weapon and the ammo needed. Their curious nature allowed them to discover many things and their technology advanced. They flew past the rock, iron and bronze age.

In this world, the idea of gods was for those of outcastes and cults or those of religion. At this point in history Felinae spent their time working for the cities and building out their nations.

A whisper around this era grew of a city that was attacked by a God…that was foolish talk by those in the cities who held the most power and the leaders quickly squashed in case of recoil only to end up becoming something they couldn't control. As a result, a ton of different religions sprung up across the world, some spoke about seeing spirits and others spoke about seeing larger animals as some Gods. There was even some talk about a spiritual war going on. Some of these religions spread quickly across cities and even swayed a few in high power places within those cities.

Fallen Stars

Centuries passed without much change on Sevel but that would all change when three burning stars falling are seen by everyone all over the world and some call it a bad omen. The Felinae's decided to send their top investigators to the site and what they found was one massive black orb. The group began to research the strange black orb that fell and without knowing it the researchers got infected, the other two objects that fell never were found.

The infection was an illness that spread quickly and threatened the lives of many. The first who caught it were government officials who worked with the researchers and the next were coworkers of those around the government. Quickly the illness spread through cities and to the average civilian.

After the government was gone, it didn't take long for stress and panic to break out. This sickness, which they called the Black lung, completely took over the upper half of Sevel, and that's when everything else fell apart.

Many different groups began to appear, they struggled overpower and few could agree on how they wanted to handle Black lung. Each group was fighting the illness in their own ways and was handling the famine differently. They settled in different parts of Sevel and maintained cities, one of the biggest cities Highwich that was controlled by Divine. He was a charismatic individual who was claiming to be looking for a cure for Black lung and had a simple solution to stop the spread of the illness, quarantine. As time went on, more and more felines would join Highwich, strengthening its reach. Divine began to grow his power outwards, only to receive backlash from the other major cities and one individual impartial, Sirius.

A New World 🎉

 That night the two groups would come face to face at the city border and an unexpected miracle happened.  A massive thirty-foot feline had come flying down nearby, landing nearby the battlefield and revealing herself as a Queen. The white and tan feline began to explain how she was the queen of both Sevel and a place called Eden. She claimed that the two were intertwined and she had come here feeling the distress of the mortals. Alexia suggests to them a deal, she would get rid of the Black Lung and give them a gift in exchange for a new lifestyle. There was little hesitation to agree to the deal that would cure all the sick and give them some unnatural powers Alexia called Soul magic.  The promise was that all her followers would be blessed with this power and their future children.

 The next following days, she would spend building each of the four tribes and placing them within their territories. The queen gave them a set of overall laws to follow but allowed each tribe to have their own traditions and codes to follow. Those who broke these laws were punished and dismissed from the tribes to live as outcasts from society. She taught them how to summon their souls and use their soul hearts. The Queen would stay and make sure everything balanced out for a few weeks before leaving.  A mysterious temple appeared dedicated to the queen, and she left the tribes of their own free will. However, each month, when the tribes gather for a meeting at the temple, Alexia will attend the meetings and listen to them.

Recent News

The first season was rather peaceful. However, everything changed towards the end of the year, and during the middle of fall, the Southern tribe leader brought up his issue. Divine claimed they were struggling with famine and exclaimed their territory wasn't big enough for them. He asked the other three tribes for a piece of their land and everyone, but the Northern Tribe agreed. The two only argued at the gathering, but nothing seemed to happen after, and things appeared to settle.

The second year started with a wanderer that visits the Eastern Tribe and asks for shelter from them. Pollux takes in this unknown feline and later finds out that she owns a White soul. She would leave by the middle of spring only after she left did Pollux began to bring up the Northern and Southern Tribe leaders. Though her questions were dismissed quickly by the Queen when she took note of the missing Western Tribe. Even after the gathering was over Alexia seemed annoyed with the subject of another White soul and explained that it was impossible.

During this time the Western Tribe had caught an illness and was unable to attend one of the gatherings. Those who caught it would start with a simple cough and slight wheezing. Some even had headaches and runny noses. Then the simple cough turned into hacking and coughing up blood. They would develop fevers and insomnia, which would lead to hallucinations. The increasing fever would be the killer for this illness, but the worse part was the dragged weeks of hallucinations.

As tensions grew, Divine demanded Sirius to give him some of his land and claimed he would take it by force if he needed it. That following night, the Northern Tribe attacked the Southern Tribe at night. The battle would end with Divine being killed and his soul being eaten by Sirius during the invasion. Sirius would recall his tribemates back home and give the Southern Tribe one last warning.

Spring ends with the new leader of the Southern Tribe being named Apollo. As summer started that illness traveled to the Northern and Southern tribes. The gathering was put off until further notice and a new custom developed where those who wished to request something of the Queen would bring a gift to her shrine. This was popular among the sick and their family.

Sirius during late summer reached out towards the Eastern tribe and sought out a solution that would benefit both. The Eastern tribe shared some of the spots they have herbs growing that the Northern Tribe agrees to protect. If any other tribe would dare to fight the Eastern, they had their alliance with the North to back them up. Thanks to this agreement the Northern Tribe was able to find a cure for the illness and after some debate among themselves shared it with the other tribes.
