Khant

Khant once was a human settlement, which was abandoned by its inhabitants. After that, Pasper, the powerful chief of the Capra, enacted a ban on entering the region. For this reason, the abandoned place was shrouded in mystery.

After some time, rumors started to circulate and the people mystifyingly called Khant the “Shrine of the Capra”. The clan elders gladly picked up on that name and, together with the chief, came to a decision. Khant was appointed to be the eternal resting place for the fallen heroes and thus became one of their most sacred places.

One of the rumors existing about the "Shrine of the Capra" says that the escape of the humans from this place is connected to a treasure with immense powers. Although Pasper Silvermane was entrusted with the treasure, it should still be in Khant. Those who believe this story suspect that Pasper and the elders only canonized the place to conceal the whereabouts of the treasure.

But not all secrets stay in the dark and this rumor is actually speaking the truth. It is going back to the days when the tragic yoke of slavery by the daemons was discarded and the legendary hero Pasper Silvermane became the first chief of the goat-clan. He was afraid that during all the bloodshed some Capra would strive for magical powers. Their excessive desire for this power seemed to poison them and was turning them against their original nature. So he banned his followers from touching the “plagues” the humans had left behind.

Years went by and the animal-people obeyed the ancient law. But when Hafiz, another hero of the Capra, suffered heavy losses in the long-standing war against the cyclopes, he thirsted for greater powers. He was bewitched and was leading his loyal followers into revolt. In doing so, he captured the shrine of the Capra and succeeded in seizing the magical objects of the humans. At that time, Hafiz' naturally snow-white fur turned jet-black. From then on, Hafiz and his followers were called Black Horns by the escaped chief Yarfas and the elders and they were regarded as a disgrace for the tribe.
