Editing Regents of the New Herd (section)

==Deep History==
Once, there was a war between great nations, and was quite short. Then there was a war between small, remnant nations, and that was quite long.

The Sunken Coast and the Coast of Cities burned quickly in the short war. Then the Makers and Shapers came from the North to rebuild and reclaim during the Long War. The Makers and Shapers were still greedy, though, and they grew nightmares to try and conquer the other Shaper States.

In this dark place, the Wise came together to create the Cardi, and they left the cities of the east. In the west, they found a broken and dying land, but a land that still lived and could be healed. They thought long and listened hard to the land until they came to a plan. They guided the plant life to take a harmonious form, and they designed the sambison to be the holy animal that gave life to both man and earth.

The sambison and the new grasses were designed to exist in symbiosis with one another, as the sambison produced perfect fertilizers for the grass. Their meat was nutritious, and their bones and hides were enhanced to be effective raw materials for production.
