In the beginning, there was nothing...
Before Venial was truly opened to the souls of dead wolves, it was tested. Seven wolves were taken from their lives and sent here, stripped of their names and identities and given new ones. These are the test subjects.
Each test subject holds the power of one sin and one virtue, and therefore have no true alignment, and nor can they be considered neutral. They are test subjects. Experiments. Nothing more, nothing less.
The test subjects have been roaming Venial for five years, before the afterlife was open to new souls, and have lived these five years in relative solitude. They have not started packs, taken mates, or given birth. But they know...
Know the lands by heart, as they've traveled to every corner of Venial.
Know the dangers of The Lord.
Know there are secrets here, that should not be discovered.
They know as much as can be known.
The wolves do not hold any alliance with one another. They do not know of each other's existence. They believe they were the only wolf living in Venial until the New Wolves came.
But these wolves have not been living empty lives.
ONE believes this to be a test not to be failed. Heaven or Hell will be decided by their actions.
TWO thinks this a purgatory, and wants to go back.
THREE believes this is their land, given to them by The Lord to protect and cherish like a parent to its child.
FOUR thinks this is a prison, to conquer and change.
FIVE has found the Lord, and thinks him the God who'll grant heaven or hell at fealty and worship.
SIX believes this is a heaven of their very own, and wants it for themself.
SEVEN thinks this a punishment for past sins, to be endured
