Born when Lenah the silver crescent bit Shaydu, the moon of darkness, Braveclaw grew up in the vast and rugged Northern Wilderness. Shadowtree, the dark Wolfen, was rescued in the wilderness by him and the two have since been the most loyal of friends. Member of the Earthenhand clan, Braveclaw earned his name on his Rite of Passage when he fearlessly rescued his friend from a bear attack using only courage and his bare hands. Both of them nearly killed in the attack, he earned his status as warrior and his first stripe, a deep claw mark in his cheek. His father embittered by the death of his first son, Crimson Claw during a Coyle assisted raid against the humans, he, his mother and sister suffered at the abusive hands of his father. Astounded by human knights after he and his mother were rescued from Coyle attackers by one, and urged on by increasing hatred on the part of his father, Braveclaw left his clan for a time to train as a knight. After serving as a squire he returned to his village, not allowing the dislike of his family to keep him from his uncle or Grandmother, who raised him after his fathers open denouncement of him. (See complete history of Braveclaw)
Tragedy and evil struck one dark day when Shadowtree and Braveclaw returned from a hunting trip to find the huts of the Earthenhand burned to the ground by the evil godling, Tayami. The only survivor being a young kit by the name of Landroam, the two were force leave him with another clan in search of vengeance and any surviving members of their clan.
Their search led them to another clan of kankoran, the Daringflightwhere they sought an artifact from a temple of Heim which could slay Tayami. The guardian of the temple was a young warrior by the name of Heartshot, who agreed to accompany them temporarily on their quest ensuring the artifact was returned. The group persuade the godling and her minions, tailing them back to the temple where to the shock and horror of all, but particularly Heartshot, the Daringflight village was gone, it's inhabitants burned. In a confrontation at the temple, the Warriors faced Tayami and her servant Fallax, but both escaped, leaving behind Tayami's hired help, the mischievous hyrtil, Albion.
Thus the Warriors of Equinox, those who which to restore the balance, began their search. They hunted Tayami and their servants across the world following any lead they thought could help them. The defended and saved countless canines as well as humans, all the while questing to destroy evil wherever they found it. It was not always easy and there were many times of doubt, but together they prevailed.
Braveclaw has a strong belief that those who are powerful must defend those who are not. Carrying principles of justice learned in his chivalric training with humans, he believes that the current conflict between the humans and the Wolfen can only be solved by understanding and cooperation. He struggles to overcome the stereotypes humans have placed on the canines by serving and defending them. He was finally bestowed with the title of knight by a grateful human kingdom in the north after he risked his life to protect it. He hopes that eventually both the humans and the Wolfen, whom have always respected kankoran wisdom, can be helped to reach a resolution.
Leader by virtue of his headstrong and often impulsive ways, Braveclaw often supports others and shows a confident and resolute disposition though he may have doubts. He relies on Shadowtree's druidic council and his own sense of justice to lead.
As Heartshot and he went on as best they could after the loss of both their families, Braveclaw slowly began to see that there was something in both of them. He knew she needed him but he soon discovered he needed her even more. The two grew close as they passed through their trials of life and death, until Heartshot suffered a terrible trauma which ultimately began to drive a wedge between the two.
In a battle against a dark sorcerer attempting to raise armies of demons using the Black Scepter, the Warriors fought to the last. In the battle Heartshot was killed in the melee against the sorcerer in a blinding flash of cruel magic energy. The heroes retrieved the Scepter, but lost her and their valiant friend, Heartfang.
Braveclaw was devastated after he saw Heartshot's death, and he momentarily overjoyed when he discovered that his Grandmother was indeed alive, he realized the one thing that mattered in his life was gone.
After Heartshot's miraculous return as a Priest of Heim, he asked her to be his lifebond and she agreed.
Now, with the support and order of Heim, the heroes are determined to destroy Tayami once for all, so that the world will be safe for them and their challenge. Braveclaw defeated his arch-enemy Fallax in a gladiatorial contest in the Western Empire, the two have agreed that when they next meet, only one will survive. The Heroes now crusade on as time grows short to stop Tayami's dark plans.
Braveclaw's prowess in battle is legendary, his stamina astounding. He, through honing of a natural gift, tutored by his grandmother, has the ability to heal from injury at an accelerated rate in a primal trance. But perhaps his most famous trait is, that the field of battle he is without fear. Stalwart and defiant against the most dangerous foe, he never shows a single instant of fear.
Braveclaw is very tall for a kankoran, and has a well toned agile build, with knotted muscles, crisscrossed by numerous scars. His head and face are striped by scars and he bears the warrior's brand of Earthenhand over his left eye. He is usually clad in weathered studded leather armor (all his equipment has a reminiscent Celtic style) and in the winter adds additional clothes and a bearskin.

Upon their return, she found her village...burned by the gdoling Tayami.
With no one left to go to Heartshot joined the heroes on their quest aiding them with her skill on the longbow. She stayed by Braveclaw and his companions through their worst trials. She discovered Braveclaw beginning to develop feelings for her, and then she realized, she too cared for him.
Sadly, during a vision induced on one of their quests, Heartshot was forced to innocent people and then Braveclaw, driving her to madness, most likley the final straw to all the traumas she suffered, including the loss of her family, hardship, capture torture and several attempts on her virtue (by those who watch over maidens, none were successful). She became uncontrollable and enraged by violence until she finally attacked her companions for real. Not willing to risk their safety, she rejected Braveclaw and planned to leave the Warriors before her supposed demise.
Following her dissapearence, Heartshot found herself, without equipment and alone in the frigid north where she was taken in by a mysterious old man to his tropical refuge. He counseled her and helped her work out her problems. She found he was servant of Heim and eventually reconsidered her previous decision and asked to return to her friends as a full servant of Heim. Heim herself agreed and laid her hand on Heartshot's brow granting her the rights of the priestess.
She returned to the Warriors and to Braveclaw, to his uncontrollable joy, ready to aid them as a priestess amd with the orders of Heim to destroy Tayami.
Heartshot's legendary skill at the longbow has rescued the Warriors on many occasions, but it was her gentle spirit and caring that truly let them succeed. She always offered a gentle hand to comfort, bind wounds, and to love. Now as priestess, she eccels in those roles her great faith strengthening them all.
Heartshot is a slender and stunningly beautiful kankoran with deep, endless, green-blue eyes. She now wears the earthen greens of the Priestess and the Amulet of Heim around her neck.

Albion, a hyrtil theif in the former employ of a treasure seeking historian was in the end abandoned when Tayami fled the Warriors in their first confrontation.
