In a private room on the second floor of the Iowa Town tavern, Fanil Fox's grandfather, Sonitu Fox, was drinking with the leopard leader Hoyerwa and Will Tiger.
Today was also the first time Sonitu learned that Hoyerwa's tribe had originated from what had once been the most powerful Tiger Fox-man tribe in Hindukush.

The old fox did not want to speak anymore. In truth, even he himself
