Tailchaser River
Tailchaser River
Harar, a mystical land steeped in feline mythology. One of the great feline epics is Tailchaser's Song. In this saga, the hero is on a quest to reach the Royal Court of Harar. It is from this mythical royal city that the nation of Harar takes its name. Deep in the mountains, a small whitewater river flows through the thick forested hillsides and down into a tranquil lake in the valley. The name of this rocky river: Tailchaser. As we explore this turbulent stream, we will see some excerpts from this feline epic.
"In the Hour before time began, Meerclar Allmother came out of the darkness to the cold earth. She was black, and as furry as all the world come together to be fur. Meerclar banished the eternal night, and brought forth the Two.
Harar Goldeneye had eyes as hot and bright as the sun at the Hour of Smaller Shadows; he was the color of daytime, and courage, and dancing."
"Fela Skydancer, his mate, was beautiful, like freedom, and clouds, and the song of travelers returned.
Goldeneye and Skydancer bore many children and raised them in the forest that covered the world at the beginnings of the Elder Days. Climbfast, Wolf-friend, Treesinger, and Brightnail, their young, were strong of tooth, sharp of eye, light of foot and straight and brave to their tail-ends.
But most strange and beautiful of the countless children of Harar and Fela were the three Firstborn."
"The eldest of the Firstborn was Viror Whitewind; he was the color of sunlight on snow, and of swiftness....
The middle child was Grizraz Hearteater, as grey as shadows and full of strangeness....
Third-born was Tangaloor Firefoot. He was as black as Meerclar Allmother, but his paws were red like flame. He walked alone, and sang to himself."
