You open your eyes, laid flat on your back, staring up at the clear blue sky and try to make sense of what just happened, as the heavens spin wildly above you. Then you remember. Your party was trekking through the jungle when you were ambushed by a troop of great apes. You got separated and fled blindly through the trees, before plunging down a ravine, and that's all you remember. Suddenly the head of a white tiger fills your vision, the creature looking down at you. Its golden eyes stare into yours intently, a mixture of curiosity and caution but not hostility. The tiger sniffs curiously at your face, a deep purring rumble echoing from its throat.

"Ah, you're awake!" A woman's voice exclaims happily. With a tender smile, she reaches out to the white tiger, her fingers brushing through its soft, striped fur. The tiger, a magnificent creature with piercing eyes and a powerful build, responds with a low, contented rumble. Its eyes close slightly, leaning into her touch, a clear sign of the deep bond they share. You notice the buildings around you, at the same time you take note of the woman being extremely tall, and suddenly realise where you must be. Thunderhawk City, home of the Thunderhawk Clan. They are a physically impressive people, the average male standing strong and proud at nearly 7 feet. This woman is about 6ft 6. The woman leans over you, takes a moment to check on you, then offers you her hand and helps you carefully to your feet. Then she speaks.

"Well, the good news is the apes were coming down the ravine after you, but Snowfang here and my bow changed their minds for them." She says this proudly, but then runs a hand through her auburn hair sheepishly. "The bad news is I had to bring you here to keep you safe from them and that means you can't leave. Sorry, but our clan just isn't ready to reveal the location of our home to outsiders yet. So by the law of the clan, that makes you bondsman to me. I'm Yora, and the tiger here is Snowfang. I'm a scout and hunter. Welcome to your new life I guess."
