*-Izzacha Kamzcha about the wolves of Nightfall*

The Night Warriors are the wolven species created by the goddess of the night, Setcilja to protect the fauna and flora from monsters and creatures of an ancient evil. Setcilja's children were at least twice the size of a common wolf and had thrice as strong jaws and hard skin. They are loyal to their mother and the royal family of house Eiwar, (Ei-wah = servant) who deputize for the goddess on earth.

## History

At the beginning of time, The Night Mother created wolves, unicorns, and various types of glowy creatures. These were the creatures of grace and wildness. After the gods of chaos, however, invented the monsters and creatures of the dark as saboteurs of the peace, the goddess took it upon herself to make counterbalance by creating giant wolves - The Night Warriors. The crucial reason for this was that her warriors have been born from the same dark powers.

### Warriors of Old

Sahatariel the Gray the, leader and alpha of the few still alive rose to the night sky, pleading to the goddess for life free of death and agony. The Night Mother heard him plead but responded that his demands were beyond her powers and their purpose had been set in stone. She however pitied her children and gifted the wounded leader with a glowing pelt as white as the moon itself, healing abilities, and immunity to diseases as a gesture of goodwill.

Sahatariel the Gray accepted these gifts and accepted the position of Ei-wah, a servant to the Night Goddess. From this term and his descendants comes the modern surname of misrepresented House Eiwar. With this, the royal members are to be reminded that although they share divine powers behind common comprehension, they are only borrowed and tied to their goddess. Were they to betray her, their fate would be worse than death and their souls damned.

### The Howls of Death

After the near-extinction of Sahatariels descendants, The Night Goddess gifts Sara Eiwar with fire-related powers to help out the lineage and takes on a mortal form to help defend Nightfall from human army attack. The attempts of ungrateful humans to end her children and followers, which would result in her own death, anger the goddess. Weakened from the lack of believers, her son, prince of dreams Sonnata descends onto the earth taking the form of Sentinel Eiwar to help the warriors regain their strength, numbers, and home.

The faith later holds together the Night Armies, who are the major military force of the Rebels. The war of swords and fangs was so cruel that the rebels fighting against great predominance that only a few survived such battles. From among the combined forces, it was the few night warriors standing victorious on the battlefield, since the night warriors do not flee the battle, but fight to the last one standing. The warrior soldiers who fought in these conditions contradictory to a change of survival were referred to as "deadmen" (the females too) so that they would accept their fate and fight without fear.
