Edit
The Crooked Tail tribe was dedicated to fighting Nothing, whether as the Lying Darkness, or as its new incarnation the Shadow Dragon. Years of fighing the ever-changing Darkness, has left the Crooked Tail Tribe paranoid and suspicious. Those who rejected that state of mind were accused of corruption and were cast out. [1]
Territory Edit
The territory of the Crooked Tail was composed of a great crystal outcropping northwest of the Shadowlands, which they kept in secret, [1] called Drawing-Out-Darkness-Rock. [2] It was located in the region of the Shadowlands that bordered the southern edge of the Plains Above Evil. [3]
Creation Edit
Several generations after the alliance with the Crab Clan was formed, the Forever-Racing-Tomorrow Tribe, the largest existing at the time, split due to a major disagreement as to how to best serve the interests of the Nezumi race. Those who followed a half-demented, self-proclaimed "prophet", remained in the Shadowlands to live as they always had, becoming the Third Whisker Tribe, a nihilistic group of doom-sayers who eventually occupied the tunnels beneath the Kaiu Wall. The tribe's chieftain wished to forge closer ties with the humans, so he took a large portion of the tribe and traveled north past the Kaiu Wall becoming the Tattered Ear Tribe. The Shaman, who felt that the humans would bring them all to ruin and advocated severing all ties, took a much smaller portion of the tribe and traveled farther west into the Shadowlands, becoming the Crooked Tail Tribe [4] in 389. [5]
The Darkness ExposedEdit
The shaman, by the name Rtch't'tok, had lost his son to the Nothing during an investigation in the Crab lands. They had come upon a secluded village inhabited by minions of the Lying Darkness. Rtch't'tok survived due thanks only to a crystal talisman he wore. When the shaman returned the tribal chieftain disregarded Rtch't'tok's story, so he took his followers and moved to the great rock where the shaman had gotten his talisman, the crystal outcropping. [6]
