the great wolf eclipse Myth in Elema | World Anvil

the great wolf eclipse

During a rare occasion in which the sun and two moons, were in a cosmic eclipse. That is where all three bodies are perfectly aligned. Three wolf cubs were born in the eclipse's shadow. The eclipse provides energy to each of them. The sun blessed the first one, who later became known as Sol. Azula the middle cub was blessed by Odessa the blue moon. The youngest was named Lit with Leonardo's white moon blessing.

These wolf cubs developed stronger physically and magic as they grew. A wolf pack was put under the leadership of each wolf. They train to become powerful leaders and train their pack to become powerful and fierce. Each pack of wolves became part of a nomadic tribe. Sol's Pack of Wolves was friendly with the light-bringers, a human tribe. Azula and her pack belonged to the Illuminating Ripple, a group of high-elf nomads. Lit and his pack with the Ray Dancers, a Centaur tribe that was fun to run with.

The packs and tribes led a pleasant, prosperous existence for the greater part of a century. The three great wolves and their tremendous might also served to defend them. Until the day when all three celestial bodies could be seen in the sky. A dark shaman who drained the blood of all living creatures. Wanted to change the world into darkness. On that day the dark shaman succeeded and turned the lights off the three celestial bodies. The only light source that was around was the stars and nothing to be seen. Everything that went bump in the night knew it and decided to come out and play.

The bodies of those 3 great wolves began to glow. They appear to be miniature replicas of their cosmic counterparts as they become radiant. Each wolf glanced at the other and understood what they needed to do to save us all. The wolves then turned to face each heavenly body in turn. They started to howl and releasing the magical energy from their bodies, sent the magical energy to the celestial body. They gave the world back its light from the moons and sun. It resulted in their deaths.

The occurrence caused mixed emotions among the pack and tribe. The tribe leaders were walking up to give their fallen wolf a proper burial. Their spirits abruptly left their bodies and appeared more human-like with wolf ears, tails, sharp teeth, and fur and claws on their hands and feet halfway up to the joint. The body did not have a complete coat of fur like a wolf folk. They gave each tribe and their pack a present. The tribal leaders and some other warriors received the magic of their wolf guardian, and the wolf pack joined the tribe by changing into humans, high elves, and centaurs.

They were stronger and faster than normal creatures of that species. They still have a lot of their wolf abilities. So if you ever meet someone from one of these tribes there might be a bit of wolf in them.

Then the tree spirits of the great wolves left said their farewells as they went to the respective celestial bodies. They do look in on their descendence quite often and are their guardian spirits.
