The myth of creation speaks of six families: Light, Dark, Heaven, Earth, Soul, and Sand. Beings of both light and dark turned the sky, while angels filled the skies with love. On Earth, humans grew and consumed souls that were lost wondering in the sands.
The House of Vong’th was said to have originated from the Sand. It was respected and honored for a time, until it submitted to humans. The Vong’th were a family of warrior wolves, creatures that resembled humans only in silhouette. During the war between monsters and humans, they served humankind, following the will of their Melehana, their leader. She was a warrior woman of unmatched strength, who dominated all her enemies and earned her title with strength and courage alone. She fell in love with a man and united their families through marriage. Her title then passed to her stepsister, and the Vong’th line continued under the rule of the king of man.
Humans made great warriors, some even challenging the wolves in prowess. However, they did not adhere to the wolves' creed of strength; instead, they valued lineage and honor, leading to the gradual decline in the strength of their leaders. As the animals grew weary of complying with the irrational demands of humans, the wolves decided to reclaim their identity. They rebelled against their masters, killing thousands and nearly destroying the nation. It was only through the efforts of the heroic king and his loyal dogs that stability was restored. After all, wolves were honorable.

In the end, humans triumphed, and the king, recognizing that execution was not the solution, honored the valor of the wolves by granting them their own land, allowing them to live freely, as they should.
Yet, the scars of war could not be completely erased. Beasts were viewed with suspicion by humans, and arrogance was met with humiliation and shame. Seeds of distrust were sown, and a deep divide grew between them. In the beginning of the world, Light, Dark, Heaven, Earth, Soul, and Sand had been in harmony.
“...and since then a few laws have been established to ensure that there would be no chance for a coup to happen again. The Vorgeset Guard was originally a beastkin order, one founded directly by their majesties second sister. The blood line of the Raven spands proudly after all. The Vorgeset Guard is only still active today because of the legacy and honor. Saved by the three human members who were proud to serve in it.”
“So, because of the attempted coup, beastkin are not allowed to serve in the military?”
“They may serve with honor,” Isabella corrected Ravina. “Just not in certain places like the Guard, Royal Knightages, or anywhere else that could repeat the same tragedy of losing hundreds of noble families in one night. There is a reason why most noble lineages are unable to trace their family roots beyond three generations. Why the kingdom has core families with deep roots, and why the Raven Clan is the kingdom's most powerful family.”
