Long before the rule of emporer Limner the nations fueded with oneanother land, and many marriages amoung the children of noble blood were brokered in exchange for treaties and land.

The desert kingdom, known as Azule at the time, was ran by Lord Baltran. Lord Baltran's first born son Roka was to marry King Erol's daughter Tala. forever bringing together the desert kingdom, and it's neighbors to the north (human region). The union of these two nations would not only stop three hundred years of strife, but would also be of great assistance to King Erol's designs to conquor the frozen lands of the barbarian chieftans.

The greatest of the barbarian chiefs sought to unite the tribes. It would take an act of great cunning and bravery to win over the other chieftans, so Warchief Korakus sent his most trusted son, Micah, with a group of his finest warriors to capture princess Tala out of the very halls of her father's castle.

The plan did not go as the Chief had hoped. The barbarian raiders did indeed sneak into the castle, and reached the room of the princess. Upon seeing her Micah instructed his loyal guards to guard the door, while he spoke with the princess.

They stood there looking at one another, without speaking while time passed. One of the servents rose the alarm at the site of Mika's men standing impatiently in the hallway. Before long the catle guards had slain the intruders, with the exception of Micah, who they found still staring at the princess.

As the guards Dragged Micah away to then dungeon, he finally spoke to the princess.. the words were simple, but would change both of their destinies. The words "I love you," were but a whisper from his lips, but the words found home within Tala's heart.

Tala visited Micah each day in the dungeon, and forbade the guards to harm him. Never did they speak to one another. Each of them had much they wanted to say, but somehow found they could not.

The King Erol planned for Micah's execution, but Tala pleaded with her father to spare his life. He asked his daughter why he should spare Micah, and she pleaded more, explaining that she loved him. Her father became enraged and demanded to know how she could love a man who she's never spoken to, and who has never spoken to her.

Thus it was revealed. With her father's permission the Azule Sorceror Lord Baltran had cast a spell upon her that she may never speak of love to a man other than his son Roka.

The princess and micah escaped into the night, to find a way to lift the spell, that they may speak of their love.

The sorceror king was furrious at this deciet, and declaired war on the people of king Erol. He cast a curse upon the kingdom of man, and barbarian alike. Micah was tuned into a great stag, and Tala into a wolf. Only on the anniversary of their first meeting are they man and woman, but for the rest of the year they are beasts. They will remember their lives as beasts, and hunger for eachothers death when they are not within their human form. This tale does not have a happy ending, for even death will reject them as long as but one member of Batlron's family line still lives.

It is said that Tala, in wolven form bore many children. Each of these children were abominations which were both man and beast (the legendary origin of wolfweres).
