Prologue.
Long ago, not too far from the grand city of Camelot, was a forest unlike any other. This was the forest of the Ancient Ones.
The Ancient Ones were a group of people who lived in the ways of the Earth and in turn were bestowed the historic gift of the Wolf. The gift of the Wolf was given to the Ancient Ones by Artio, the goddesses of wildlife and protector of the forest. The gift allowed the Ancient Ones to shape shift into the form of a large wolf.
When in human form they were distinguished by their Tribal Wolf tattoo on their upper arm that they received on their 16th birthday.
The Ancient Ones grew with the Earth and eventually ended up creating their own civilization where Ancient Ones, sorcerers and non-magical people could live together in peace. The kingdom of Lunar was born.
When the Great Purge hit the land under the iron reign of Uther Pendragon, the kingdom of Lunar was cut off from the rest of the Albion.
The kingdom of Lunar stayed hidden to keep its people, the ways of the Earth and magic safe, eventually Uther destroyed pretty much all record of the kingdom and the great kingdom fell into myth.
Unbeknownst to the world, the kingdom of Lunar would return along with their prince. His name, Merlin.
