(Leader of the Pack)
Magical Alias: The Dreamcatcher Zogarth is a creature reborn from magic and embodies the unique strength and wisdom of both the wolf and the owl. To the Cherokee peoples, he is seen as a legendary figure named Nvwoti, a protector of the forest's natural elements. The elements include "Nvda," the grandfather mountain, "Usgi," the mother tree, "Adahy," the sister fire, "Ama," the brother water, and much more. These powerful elements bring forth beauty and nourishment, but are also thought to bring ceaseless havoc and destruction if not honored, protected, and respected.
Kafila Pack: Origins In the year 1973, a European grey wolf cub named Zogarth was orphaned after his species was hunted to extinction. Luckily, he was taken in by a pair of intelligent barn owls named Tyto and Alba who raised him as their own. As Zogarth grew, he learned importance of harmony with all living things. One day, while traveling far from his home, Zogarth met a unique Arabian fox named Iqra, who had the ability to read. She had been shipped from Israel to the Great Smokies, destined to be sold to a roadside zoo, but swiftly managed to escape. Zogarth and Iqra became friends and traveled together, exploring the great mountains of North America.
Zogarth and Iqra's travels through the great smoky mountains were not without danger. They had to constantly evade fierce hunters and bigger predators in the area. One fateful day, while traveling near a river, Zogarth heard a commotion downstream and rushed to investigate. A young Cherokee girl who had fallen into the river and was struggling to stay afloat! Zogarth quickly sprang into action and saved her from drowning. However, amidst the chaos, Zogarth was shot and killed by a couple of buck hunters who mistook him for a vicious, bloodthirsty predator.
The Cherokee people, who had witnessed the incident, were distraught and outraged. In the aftermath, they honored Zogarth, recognizing him as a protector and friend to their tribe. While mourning for her friend, Iqra, who had always been wary of humans, was adopted by the tribe and renamed Ugganosta. Impressed with his act of bravery and selfless compassion, Zogarth was magically revived and granted mystical powers by Unetlanvhi, the omnipotent creator of the Earth.

The KP Universe: Trades and Currency
Silver Pinecones 
and Gold Pinecones 
The silver and gold pinecones, a currency highly valued by the wolves, come from the giving tree, Nvdo Ulisgisdi. This sacred tree is also known for its role in the Cherokee legend of the pine tree and the sparrow. The pinecones are not only valued for their size, with bigger ones being more valuable, but also for their rarity. Golden pinecones are considered a treasure, and many wolves will do anything to get their paws on one. In times of need, when a pack has nothing else to trade, they often turn to the silver pinecones. These little treasures hold great power and can be used to barter for food, shelter, or other resources. But for the Cherokee people, the pinecones hold a deeper meaning. They are a reminder of the generosity of the giving tree and the importance of valuing all forms of life.
The KP Universe: Animalian Language Zoodiom: The universal name for the non-human language spoken by all creatures, including mammals, aquatic animals, avian animals, reptiles, and amphibians.

Within these groups, there are unique dialects, such as meowing, squeaking, chirping, or barking, which can be thought of as an accent.
