-Grove Wars Character Archive-

The Gray and Fox squirrels of Silvam are at war. The objective? Capturing a walnut grove, which has been fought over for many years. Walnuts are prized as both currency and food, and are in high demand by all of Squirrelkind. Meanwhile, the ground squirrels, red squirrels, and groundhogs of Rootside have stayed painstakingly neutral, refusing to get caught in the territorial conflict. Will the strategic Grays, or the Fox warlords capture the grove? Will the motley inhabitants of Rootside join the fray? No matter the outcome, the Grove Wars of Silvam will be known by every Sciuridae who has ever twitched their tail.
