▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬The Lupine Prowlers were initially a band of friends in the city. Led by Dabria, Artemis's mother, they would often separate from their owners in order to have "play time" with the other dogs in the neighborhood. The owners found this endearing, and often remained oblivious to the canines actual endeavors. The dogs would often travel outside of the city, challenging other dogs in the territory beyond Lupine to gain territory, hoping to expand their pack. They wanted territory, lots of members, and plenty of food. I order to accomplish that, they would need to conquer as much territory as possible around the city of Lupine.
These encounters almost always got violent, for it was only violence that could drive other packs out of their territory if they wanted wanted even the slimmest chance of surviving. Because of these violent encounters, several of the owners dogs would go "missing" in the midst of battle, leaving the civilians of the city confused as their pets disappeared one by one. Eventually, the city became full of paranoia, and a legend arose that if you were to leave the city, you would die from abrupt causes, whether it be nature or murder. The folk of the city became deranged, and began fighting one another within in order to gain resources.
A neighboring city grew annoyed with the arising superstitions, and took it upon themselves to eliminate the city of Lupine. A large battle took place within the city, where all of Lupine's citizens were eliminated. The only survivors were Dabria and her mate Zoltan, who had taken shelter in an underground bomb shelter in the midst of the chaos. When they came back to the surface, several of the buildings were damaged, debris filling the street, clouds of smoke drifting along. The city had grown deserted. For several months, Dabria and Zoltan lived alone, eventually giving birth to Artemis.
Dabria and Zoltan rose Artemis together for 2 years until a group of travelling rogues ambushed the city, seeking out the Lupine Prowlers despite their age being a couple years past. Dabria and Zoltan locked Artemis in the underground shelter, and took it upon themselves to drive out the wolves. They succeeded in driving them away from the city, but they never returned to Artemis. For a couple of days, Artemis was trapped beneath the city until she found a secret shelter, releasing herself from the shelter. She rose to the city, and decided it was time to repair the damage that had been done, despite her parents being missing.
Artemis sent several months putting the city back together, piecing the broken pieces together as if they were a large, seemingly complex puzzle. Her magic, the ability to lift objects off the ground with her mind and place them in their rightful place certainly aided her. The talent came to Artemis mindlessly, for she was an incredibly smart nox who picked up on the patterns of nature and mankind made stuff alike swiftly. It took nearly a year, but Artemis finally repaired all the damage. The territory around her technically still belonged to the Lupine Prowlers, which she began to found once more.
A group of humans then came across Lupine, and made themselves at home. The city of Lupine is home to merely a thousand people, despite being a large city. Not many people know of it's existence, since it's only on a few maps present in the human world. Many of the humans debate on if Lupine actually exists or not, and sometimes attempt to seek it out, but to no avail. When the humans began to visit, they often brought pets with them, among those other nox. Taking in her mother's steps, she began going door to door, inviting the other nox out for "play time", instead taking them on adventures and explaining her pack to them. Many began to join her pack, some opting to never go back to their human houses.
With these new members, Artemis decided to make a hide out out of the bomb shelter. She brought in various accessories and abandoned equipment in the city, making beds for each nox that came into the pack, stocking up on food that had been discarded or tossed out onto the porches for the dogs that openly roamed the city. The Lupine Prowlers have since lived a somewhat pampered life beneath the city.
