On the rolling plains south of the city of Gelgela, where the Usagi Shimai race was born, life is slowly getting back to what it used to be many centuries ago. With houses dotting the area, farms and low windswept fields of orchards, tended by families and communities of the rabbit-like people Usagi. However... These days it is still a bit hard. War had ravaged the land over a hundred years before, a terrible war which cost the Usagi all but the last few of their males, and almost all of their freedom.

But after the prophesied 'return' of a snow-white red-tipped mage named Sean Akegata, everything changed for the remaining Usagi. The new queen of Gelgela and her necromantically-inclined king Sapadt (a human), proclaimed the lands of the Usagi to be returned to them. But the bleak reality was that there were so few Usagi left to tend their lands, they had to resort to trusting the humans who had harmed them in the past.

Fortunately, most humans had been abused and devistated at the hands of the prior, overthrown, government as well. They all discovered things in common, their lands were still in need of farming, their homes in need of repair. The young and older women of the Usagi Shimai were happy to note that they were never going to be allowed to be slaves, raped, or harmed in any way now that one of their own sat on the Gelgelan throne. Friendships and romances formed, flowered, and produced half-breed children that have enlivened both races.

It's almost impossible to tell the difference between a full blooded Usagi and one with Human ancestry. The colors of their hair and fur tips perhaps, and their different magic abilities... Otherwise for visual and ... procreational purposes, these half-breed Usagi/Humans are furry, fertile, and magical.

...

Skip forward thirty years... The city of Gelgela prospers though still has enemies to the north and west, is still guided and ruled by Sapadt and Sean - and their group of dragons keep guard over the borders. Though the return of the Usagi is still rapidly increasing and begining to flourish there are always obsticals to overcome. The forces of nature being the most brutal.

A severe storm system ravaged the northern mountains, causing flooding for several years throughout the whole region - from north of the next country all the way past the plains to the south. Many lives were lost, and though the Usagi of the small community of Ringotane never saw the rain that fell to the north... their farming village was utterly wiped out by the flood waters that fell from the mountains.

With the dragons of the borders able to sense this disaster, even though there were few survivors to tell the tale of what had occurred, they picked through the wreckage of the village and found fifteen children and two elders left out of a community of sixty. They brought everyone back to Gelgela first, to be checked for their health and to see who might be related to whom. Few of them were able to find relatives anywhere but their own small village, though. The elderly couple passed away from sickness, shortly after the group of children were sent to a Usagi orphanage on a higher portion of the land.

Some members of the orphanage were human, but for the most part the only vestages of human appearance were in the balding head of one of the elders who tended the children, and his pure human half-sister who would visit occasionally. The children ranged in age from mere months, to three dark-furred triplets that were almost old enough to found their own land holdings. They chose to remain on though, bringing a sense of family to their group. There had been several others in this orphanage, but they found work nearby and have only returned to deliver food and goods.
