For years the equine and canine species had gotten along. Sharing their lands and always being there for one another, the animals took care of and looked after each other. Nothing bad ever happened to the equine with the power of the canines looking out for them and in return, the equine helped the canines in any possible way they could;; whether it was looking for food, watching the pups, etc. With life seeming to be so perfect, no one thought anything could go wrong, but they were mistaken. Years passed and things only got better. The bonds between the species continued to grow and fear had completely dropped, trust taking it's place. However, about that time, when trust fully took over, something happened and ruined it all.
No one, canine or equine is exactly sure of what happened and both species have their own opinions and ideas of what occurred, but it was never recorded for sure. Still, what ever it was, it was enough to start a spontaneous hatred that broke the animals apart. Lands were divided, both species doing their best to get new lands that the others didn't know about, and it worked. Time continued to pass in this division, when suddenly the canines began to turn on each other. Something was happening in the packs and they weren't sure what was going on. The canines broke apart too, forming four different packs, each having a leader with their own followers and different beliefs. This, didn't last more than a few months though when the leader of the Kiltous Pack finally realized what was going on, well slightly. The equine were trying to sabotage them, all of them and it was working. The canines were slowly weakening themselves, which gave the equines an advantage.
When this discovery was shared, the canines came back together and knew it was time for revenge. How they would get pay back, was something they could not really figure out though and that was when one wolf stepped forward with an idea. "Why show mercy? They have weakened us and we must do the same. Kill the foals. That is what I say.", and it was agreed. The canines snuck into the herds, which had also separate, but their reasons were for more power to the Northern Herd, which still goes unknown by the canines. The equine knew they were in trouble when they began to find their young dead and knew that the canines were onto them, which was bad, very bad. As more of their young died, the equine put all the strength they could into the Northern Herd, deciding to keep all their plans there and away from the canines' knowledge.
The sabotage increased and the killed foal number also sky rocketed. More and more of the animals were dying, but neither side gave in and the battle raged on. Years continued to pass and time never stopped as each side seemed to grow more hatred for the other. Things became worse and harder on both species and it became known that things were only going down hill and getting worse and worse. What now? Many of the animals wondered and strayed from the packs, going to the freelands as loners, unsure if the war was right. Many others wandered to the packs and seemed to fight for something that was still unknown
