The Rearrangement

**The Rearrangement** is the term used by the packs to refer to a historically important change in the island of Kú that happened over 100 years ago from the current events, approximately in 326 MC. Some wolves have used other terms for describing the big event, such as "**The Purge**", "**The Lunar Era**", and "**The Great Divide**".

## History

Prior to the Rearrangement, all of the packs used to be scattered and were in much smaller groups. The wolves wandered from one place to another, staying in the one spot for about a week before moving to the next. Unlike in the future, the wolves didn’t have any laws or certain ways to follow, except religion. All of the wolves practiced Máivi, meaning that they worshiped The Moon and respected The Sun. Doing this was extremely important and if someone happened to rebel against, their actions were punishable by death. These wolves believed the moon and the sun to be deities. Whenever weather and natural phenomena happened (storms, temperature changes, earthquakes), they thought them to be done by the Moon and the Sun as an act of displeasement, even if these events were logically explained.

However, when the first changes happened in the climate, it was not thought to be an act of displeasement this time but as an act of wrath and envy. In the southern part of the island, the temperatures started to rise. It was much hotter than before. It even got so hot at one point that the lake in the south dried out. The wolves speculated that the Sun had grown angry at them for not worshiping it the same way as  how they worship the Moon and now had unleashed its anger. During the same time, few wolves started to want to settle down as they noticed that some of the areas were more suitable habitats alas some were not. This caused conflict between some wolves as some of them didn’t want to settle for one place only for eternity, or when they did want to, they wanted to conquer territories that had already been claimed by others. As the wolves fought between each other, the changing climate worsened by. The wolves eventually stopped the fighting to concentrate on a more important matter.

As the temperatures rose even higher, the wolves decided to pray for the Moon to overthrow the Sun so it could stop its ordeal. Months went by, and during them many wolves had perished of dehydration and starvation. However, when the temperatures finally started to cool down, the wolves then declared a procedure called "The Rearrangement" (re-decided version of the old arrangement from 200 years prior), in which they changed their religion from Máivi back to Mánnu and decided to settle down, and form packs so they would have a better chance of surviving.

### The Old Arrangement

200 years before the Rearrangement, wolves used to only practise Creed of The Heavenly Mánnu and thought the Sun to be evil that only brought misery. After the birth of the first black and white wolf, they were thought to be the Sun's punishment. The wolves begged The Sun's forgiveness. To please the Sun, they then invented a new type of religion, and changed their current religion into the new one - which is nowadays known as Creed of The Heavenly Máivi.
