Uoi'Nota. Home of the Ikal'daka.

Conquer or die.

Beware, traveller, for none of us here are good. Sinners, if you like, but we seek no redemption for being created as we are. And we? Are the Ikal'Daka, wolves born of nightmares; pulled from the darkness and given shape and thought. We share this world now with many more of our ilk, for once we bridged the divide, we left a trail for other brave souls to follow.

All things begin in stories..



      In the days of old, now long forgotten, the world was a much different place. Shining with the excellence of kings scarcely remembered, it was a time of wars for some, diplomacy for many, and hardships for all, for the kingdoms of man were never at peace. And finally there were only two kingdoms left standing in the ruins, and they rallied their people once more.

      User ImageBut it was a strange war, for a prince was in love with his enemy's princess. Princess Darielle was a lively sort; not particularly beautiful but pretty in her own rights; for her knowledge, her political prowess and her for her clever words. It was exactly these that allured Prince Rhydian. So smitten was he, in fact, that he garbed himself to hide his status and fled his nation. He crept his way into the Sikulen Kingdom, and found the young woman when she was out speaking to the citizens. He spilled his heart out to her, appealed to her every tastes; he offered her the world's knowledge, contained in his libraries, feasts that even the gods would envy, and lush gardens that would always be tilled to suit her fancy.

      Darielle politely declined him however, stating that she was already engaged and due to be married but days later. And although he left with a warm smile and wishes for only the best future for her, his heart was blackening. Cruel thoughts of destroying her and her happy little marriage filled his head like a plague, and before he even made his way home, his path was decided.

      Rhydian set out for the marshlands out beyond the mountain's shadows, deep into the heartless forests whose thorns ate unprepared travelers alive. He made his way cautiously into the swamps, guided by his lantern, for even the moon was too weary to pierce the thick canopy. He came to the alchemist's house, ideas churning through his mind like waves in a storm. The aging man before him, busied with the inspection of some oddity or other, turned his head as soon as he heard the recognizable thump of a satchel of gold hitting his desk. Terms were arranged; the death of Darielle's lover was certain.

      It was the night of the princess's wedding when the alchemist came sneaking into the kingdom; many of the gaurds were still enjoying the wedding festivities, and who would consider a blind old servant a threat, after all? Soon he came upon the room he was after; the princess' quarters, guarded by only one sleeping patrolman. Keeping his footfalls silent, the old man quietly slipped into the dark room, his gnarled face distorted into a cruel smile.

      Darielle's husband lept to his feet as the sound of the door woke him, sheets tangled about his body. Darielle quickly came awake beside him, reaching for him, not yet realizing any danger. As the man's eyes fastened onto the intruder, the alchemist quickly uncapped a vial that poured a liquidous smoke into the room, hurling it towards the unsuspecting man.

      Instictively he ducked, fell aside, and realized all too late that his reaction to save himself had redirected that evil towards his beloved young wife; he could only watch in horror as that black miasma engulfed her, slid down every opening into her body, shook her violently as if to break free her very soul. And, suddenly, the blackness spewed out of her, spiraling upon the floor like liquid evil, slowly forming a solid shape. And by the time that dark being came to exist, by the time that demon creature howled the most terrible cry imaginable, by the time its flesh caught fire and the room glowed red-orange-yellow, their fates had sealed.

      User ImageThe beast sprang forward towards Darielle and, as if he honestly believed he could do any good, the prince chased after it, shoving himself between the demon and his wife. But with a large, powerful paw, the creature flung him aside before he snapped his jaw tight around the woman's fragile body. The man could only look on in petrified terror as it tore her apart, limb from limb, vicious growls and painful shrieks melting into one unified sound of death. Then and only then, it's glowing eyes fastened onto the man who now shook in horror and fear.

      --------------


      And so was born the first of the Ikal'Daka, from magic, from nightmares, from blood.

      After the tragedy, the Sikulen kingdom fell to it's enemies; but as years passed they, too, fell and became no more than memory. The alchemist however, lived on, his life extended by his magics. The Ikal, summoned to this world by the alchemist, carved a path out of the nightmares they were born into, paving it so that their brothers and sisters could follow, no longer needing the Alchemist.

      And when the time came, Princess Darielle herself returned from the nightmare she had been cast into, now one of the Ikal herself. Thus began a new era for all the creatures of darkness, for now more than ever they had a chance to become something more than what they had been created for.

      [Darielle is played by Yeomso; Alphonse by Sabiir.]

All Ikal sold start as adolescents or adults; newborn and pup stages are
breeding-only. They are sometimes seen during special events.

      Sheenai • 'Good' Ikal. Sheenai are those Ikal who have abandoned their heritage, and, guided by the former Princess, are now following a path of kindness. Sheenai live in the Sikulen ruins to the north, and between the crumbling halls they make their homes. Though the humans have long since left the land, Sheenai are continually scavenging new oddities from the ruins. Sheenai are most like human culture due again to Darielle's influence, living in small communal families, and choosing a "career" path (ie hunter or pupsitter) rather than being assigned these roles by Alphonse or by an Alpha.

      Vachen • 'Evil' Ikal. Vachen are those twisted souls who never truely left the nightmares, and they are loyal to one man alone- Alphonse, who created them. Vachen live in the shadow of Mt. Varcan. The caves below the mountain house many precious gems, and although the Vachen are not miners, they do have a fondness for pretty rocks. Most pups are born deep inside the mountain where the earth is warm and protected. They do not form packs, and rarely do families stay together once the pups are grown. Should Alphonse give them a task, a group of Vachen may form a "Sect", a temporary group poised for a specific purpose. They will attack a Sheenai on sight, though they will tolerate the presence of the Kaizhar. Occasionally they will mate with the Kaizhar, but this is usually looked down on.

      Kaizhar • 'Neutral' Ikal. Those wilder Ikal who have no concern for the squabbles of the Sheenai and Vachen. Really, they want to be left alone in their wilderness. They are by far the most elusive and the most common Ikal in the lands, as they do not keep to one area of habitation. They fill in the gap, so to speak, between the north-dwelling Sheenai and the Southern Vachen. Kaizhar are experts at hunting, disguise, and tracking. Theyre built for speed, and in a flat race would beat both other breeds.
