Aspen is a realistic wolf post-by-post role playing game. Aspen was created May of 2006 and has been active ever since. Part of what makes Aspen so great are its active caring members and it's dramatic plots. If you want to  see previous plots click in the site history link, to find out about our current main plot, read below.

        Main Plot:

        It starts with an earthquake....

        Igneous fault in the Likuta Mountain territory shifts, and causes an earthquake (not uncommon to mountainous regions) that is at least an 8.0 on the Richter scale. This earthquake causes some various things. First of all the quake causes massive amounts of trees and rocks to shift, fall down, and clog up the rivers and lakes. Fallen trees create dam-like situations in the upper Silver River and rocks cause dam-like situations in the lower Rushpaw River. But that's not the wolves biggest problem.

        The earthquake is so powerful that it opens up the floodgates to Likuta Mountain's Skycloud Lake. Meaning that the mountains that hold the lake up at a high altitude shift just enough to allow a leak of massive proportion and almost the entire content of the lake empties out into the valley where the Kiskana pack and Tyjiik pack dwell. This not only causes massive flooding but it also causes the Likuta Mountain Pack to be lacking a necessary water source.

        The water from the lake naturally creates a temporary river and drains very quickly into the Rushpaw/Silver River (which is the same body of water with different names). The river swells to fill nearly the entire valley, which forces both the Tyjiik and the Kiskana pack to have to completely evacuate in any direction they can. This splits both packs in half. The river unfortunately cuts right down the middle of both of the packlands, and the wolves have to flee for higher ground away from the deadly flooding river. Those wolves caught on the east side of the river have to stay in the east, those caught on the west side have to stay in the west. Everything happens so quickly in this flash flood that there is no way to cross the river or even find out if the wolves on the other side are all right... or even alive.

        All those wolves caught on the east side have to move to higher ground in the mountains, so wolves from both Tyjiik and Kiskana have to move into the territory of the Likuta Mountain pack; Kiskana's ally, and Tyjiik's enemy. All three packs or partial packs have to coexist in that one general area in order to survive. Kiskana and Likuta Mountain have to live with their worst enemies, the Tyjiik, and find a way to try to keep their loose alliance together.

        But we can't forget those wolves caught on the west side of the river, who also have to head for higher ground. They have to try to enter the uninhabited mountains on the west of the valley. There are less of these wolves since there is no other pack in these mountains and so the wolves have no other option but to merge together (those from Tyjiik and those from Kiskana) in order to survive.

        The wolves as a whole have to learn to work together to survive and learn to deal with food shortages, how to live in new surroundings, how to hunt new prey, and how to get along without their other half and while living with strangers and enemies. Every character is affected and every wolf can change the history of the packs. Will they learn to get along and work together to survive or will their differences be too strong? Will another war be procured or is the hopeful idea of peace finally going to succeed? You can help decide. Make a character and jump right in because this plot is about to start rolling and you don't want to miss it!...
