The Later Book says that beastfolk were once human, but after betraying the goddess Iwani, they were cursed and reduced to beasts.
The stories say beastfolk are bloodthirsty and brutal. My father warned me again and again to stay away from them.
The veterans who had fought them said much the same: beastfolk were dangerous and cunning, and could never be trusted.
But after an attack by unknown creatures, Vorto came back from the dead and unexpectedly encountered them: the beastfolk of legend.
The first meeting between the two races was far from harmonious. Their inability to understand each other only deepened the long-standing misunderstandings and prejudice.
Vorto was captured by the beastfolk.
And so began a story that would overturn everything people thought they knew.
“So this is what you beastfolk are really like!”
