Written History
    On the 24^th day of October in the year 2002, two old friends met on the Hell's Coast. Their names were Kaena Lykoi and Yasu Zarah. The pair had served in a coyote clan together years before, the Darklands Clan. Under Raptor and Svenlia, they wrecked havoc on the wolves of the nearby Salvaje Valley when they dared enter coyote lands. When Kae and Zarah came to Bleeding Souls and met by random chance, it was with delight they began a new coyote clan, just as the one they'd once served in. On Hell's Coast that night, they officially declared the birth of the new Inferni clan.

    From the start, Inferni was difficult to control. Coyotes, solitary by nature, didn't adjust well to living in a ranked structure, and Inferni was spread thinly. Under Zarah's rule, they never had the strength to attack or take any grounds, and thus they remained on Hell's Coast. In an unprecedented event, Zarah allowed a wolf to walk among Inferni's ranks. His name was Zulifer Yfel, and he was convinced he was a coyote in a wolf's body. The only reason he was accepted so readily was because he was the lover of Kaena Lykoi. She became pregnant with his children shortly after he was accepted. However, disaster struck in the form of a wolf named Salvaged Eternity, and Zulifer was killed while Kaena slept nearby. Just a few days afterward, Kae gave birth to two children—Maeryn Lykoi and Kerberos Lykoi.

    Just about a month later, Zarah disappeared, and Kaena took the reigns of Inferni. Unfortunately, she proved herself ineffectual as a leader, mostly due to her broken heart. She led for a few months, promoting Zarah's adopted son, Arlo Xyl, to her former subleader rank. When her children were almost grown, Kaena departed from Bleeding Souls, intending to leave the kids behind. Maeryn followed her, while Kerberos wandered to Jaded Shadows and was taken in by the very wolf who had killed his father, Salvaged Eternity. Kaena flew into a rage at Maeryn, and killed her just outside of Bleeding Souls. Her body, which was quite similar to Kaena's, caused others to believe that Kae had been killed, not her daughter.

    Arlo Xyl, the new leader, raped the leader of Clouded Tears, Kiriska. She became pregnant with his children, but died in childbirth. The new alpha of Clouded Tears, Ceres Sadira, took vengeance into her own hands, and hunted down Arlo and killed him. After a short while of leaderless wandering, Inferni found a new leader, Kidorah Talik. Under her, Inferni flourished and reached new numbers never before seen. At its height, Inferni had eighteen members. The ranks were changed from a simplistic Darklands Clan style to a military, German-language hierarchy. A male coyote named Segodi Mogotsi was promoted to the third-in-command rank, Beirant. Yasu Zarah returned to Inferni, and took a low rank. She was raped by a coyote, and gave birth to three children—Layla Xyl, Kyran, and ???. She decided to take vengeance on Ceres Sadira, but realized she likely would not make it out alive. So, she left her three children to Zero, the alpha male of Storm, and went to what was her demise.

    Kaena returned just eight months after her departure, taking a low rank in the clan she'd once ruled. Kaena took a wolf lover again, much to her own disappointment. She kept him secret for a while, but when she discovered she was pregnant with his children, she decided she did not want to raise them alone, and asked Kidorah for his acceptance to Inferni. For the second time in its history, Inferni accepted a wolf to its ranks. His name was Ahren de le Poer, and he was the son of Damian de le Poer, alpha male of Chimera, and Thavardo, rogue leader of the Azathoth clan. The night the young wolf was accepted, Kidorah, Kaena, and he traveled to Chimera, where they burned Ahren's father's cabin to the ground in a display of bravado.

    Kidorah became pregnant with Segodi's children, and to save face, the two became mates. A bad drought hit Bleeding Souls shortly after, followed by a famine. The coyotes of Inferni were affected particularly badly, since Hell's Coast was not populated by much prey to begin with. Kidorah and Segodi took the clan to different areas in search of food and water. They discovered that the Yawrah river snaked through the Crystal Caverns in places, and was still a viable source of water.

    In late August, Kidorah and Kaena gave birth to litters of puppies. While Kidorah's litter was tiny and half-stillborn, Kaena gave birth to a large litter of eight: Ikatha Lykoi, Baneesh de le Poer, Corona Lykoi, Molochai Lykoi, Vitium Lykoi, Rikka de le Poer, Gabriel de le Poer, and Conway de le Poer. The mated leadership of Inferni began to have problems, and eventually they ended their mateship. Kidorah began wandering around Bleeding Souls aimlessly, questioning her own reasons for coming to the region in the first place. Segodi promoted himself to the second-in-command rank, Zweiten.

    Kaena and Ahren, too, began to consider their own relationship, and ultimately ended it on somewhat friendly terms. Ahren remained in Inferni until a lone wolf killed his son, Baneesh. Segodi threw him out on suspicions that the wolf had killed his own child. Ahren found a relative of his, Mab de le Poer, leading his former pack Chimera. She left the pack to him. Within a week of his exile from Inferni, the new alpha ran into Kidorah, and Ahren informed her of what had happened in Inferni in her absence. She went back to the clan, and took a steadier role in the clan. The leadership patched up a little, and solidified, despite its sharp drop in number with the onset of winter.

    In April, Kaena became pregnant again, this time with the children of a mysterious coyote named Astaroth Kimaris. He told Kaena that he was the devil incarnate. On the sixth of June, Kae gave birth to three children—Ahemait Lykoi, Samael Lykoi, and Razekiel Lykoi. She raised them with the help of her eldest son, Molochai Lykoi. Around the beginning of summer, Kidorah disappeared, leaving Segodi to lead Inferni by himself. He did so for quite some time. During Segodi's reign, the ranks were again adjusted, abandoning the ranks Kidorah had established in favor for a less confusing system. The coyotes travelled all the way to the Concrete Jungle to research the new ranks. Kaena disappeared shortly after the birth of her children, taking her son Molochai with her. Shortly after, Segodi, too, departed. He left an old friend, Roane Kinsella, in charge. Over the fall, Inferni's numbers had dropped to just six coyotes.

    Roane found he had difficulty adjusting to a leader rank, and was on his way out of Hell's Coast when he ran into Kaena Lykoi, who was returning (alone) to Inferni, in the hopes that she could reenter its ranks. Roane revealed his plans to abandon Inferni to Kaena, who was more than happy to take the Legatus (leader) rank for the first time in nearly two years. Shortly after her sudden acension to power, Kaena again changed the ranks. She simplified Segodi's system and integrated jobs into her ranking system, allowing coyotes to keep their specialty as they advanced in the hierarchy. Not long after this, Kaena found herself pregnant again—this time, by the leader of Clouded Tears. This changed nothing, and she delivered four healthy children in July. She remained active in her role as leader until the end of September, when she began to spend more and more time away from the clan. Towards the end of October, this trend became permanent; Kaena left without a word. Leadership of Inferni then transferred to Gabriel, her eldest son.

    For several months, the clan’s numbers juggled before reducing, leaving only relatives bound to each other by blood or marriage. Several incidents of violence occurred, including an attack on Storm’s alpha, Phoenix. Then the clan seemed to quiet, threatened by internal dissent. For the second time, one of Kaena’s children was exiled—Andrezej, who had attacked several clan members. Things remained quiet; Rachias returned to Inferni, and Faolin Mogotsi and Gabriel de le Poer had three children, though only two survived. Things seemed to be settling into a pattern.

    One night, however, Gabriel left the beach and started the fire that consumed Bleeding Souls. He led his clan out, though in the process they lost several members, including Arkham Lykoi, the leader’s half-brother. When Inferni crossed the mountain through a cut, they found themselves the first in a strange new world.

    Gabriel soon came across a relative, Anselm de le Poer, who assisted him in exploring a territory known as The Waste. Inferni soon claimed these lands and reformed, proving themselves to be the strongest of all the groups from the land over the mountain. They began to spy on the wolves in the area and adopted a policy of treating all wolves as hostile.
