Year 1242/Leaf Fall

It has been one turn since the tragic loss of Chieftess Shadow-Wolf, her lifemate Mindstalker, and a hand of their tribemates, and also since Wolfgrin was declared the new chief. The herds of large game seem to have all but abandoned the holt forest, as the tribe roams in larger circles, radiating out from the center of their territory. Tensions have arisen over the lack of true game, the solution to the problem, and the perceived lack of action on the young chief's behalf. Coming to a decision that the tribe could wait no longer, and with white-cold looming in the near future, it has been decided that most of the combined tribes will leave the Grotto and head to the plains north of the holt, along the Deepfast River. The remaining few will stay behind to complete the preparations for winter. Also, Skimfoot's cub, Foxfoot has been born and presented to the tribe.
