Echo Whispers

Echoing Whispers of Something Divine

The Echo Whispers were founded by a trio of wolves, who at the very least claimed to be reincarnations of ancient and long forgotten gods. These three were Mar'Saryah ("warm comfort"), or Saryah to her family, Zarah ("beauty"), and Aephier. Saryah was the strongest of the three, and most closely tied to mortals, down to earth and caring little of the heavens or returning to them. Zarah was said to be the goddess of beauty, but the pack knew a different side of her than the her of anceint legends long lost. She was a mother to many, by blood or bond, sister to others, reminding them of the importance of close bonds, those that kept the pack together through the best and the worst of times. Aephier was the third and most distant of the deities in mortal form. He spoke of the spirits, the dead and their plights. He taught the pack to remember the fallen, echoing the words of his teacher, "Remember the past, for the future is written on its bones," to celebrate the dead who now watched over them, the stars in the sky above them.

These three have long since passed, but their blood runs thick through the veins of the pack. Some believe the founders truly were gods, with many within the pack claiming to see them in their dreams or hear their calls intertwined with the living pack's own choir of howls. Some dismiss the founders and their descendants as simply gifted or blessed, and others still simply choose to acknowledge the pack's stories as lessons of old passed down. A few speak of whispering in the forests the pack calls home, echoes of a world long lost and forgotten, but so far none have dared to follow these strange voices, namesake of the pack. They warn visitors and newcomers of these whispering echoes, not to go towards them, for the voices themselves speak their warning. "Dead among the living are those who enter and find peace to walk among the divine.
