Beartooth's War
Despite Phobus's War greatly wounding Tarbens fleets, it wasn't enough to dampen the conditions of what caused this war. Phobus was allowed and confined to Tarben soil, as no other pack would want him around given his actions on the maiden Wisteria. An adopted Prince of Sabertooth, Shuu, had grown infatuated with Beartooth and Larentias daughter - His soulmate, Skadi. Though Skadi was already claimed by another, Pontchartrain, by whom she bore children for. This did not stop Shuu's infatuation, and quickly turned to an obsession. His lust for her brought him to Tarben borders, despite every warning sign.

Shuu proclaimed an idea to Skadi's son, Maleren, to challenge Pontchartrain and thus make his mother happier as she grew tired of the stoic man who chose her. In doing this, Maleren only brought misfortune. Maleren did in fact de-rank his father, but at the cost of his life and the despair of his mother. Skadi, heartbroken, was driven right into the arms of Shuu and his smooth-talking. Shuu had kept her hostage then, starving both himself and her to death. They were found not long after, but surely not before more events ensued . . .

Another lovely couple was damaged and torn apart in Tarben, all starting with the beautiful Aurora. She wandered into Tarben shortly after Phobus's War, and had no idea of the terms she had agreed to. Beartooth, driven to hike his armies numbers up again, had every female step onto a platform of ice to be claimed by men. Aurora was soulmate tied to Odin, the royal Prince. Though he was not to her likings, Aurora gave in. But, of course, she snuck away when she could to find peace. Despite her tie, she found her heart had been given to another. Sabertooths own heir, Hermes. They shared a night under the stars together, which ultimately between the two male lovers left Aurora pregnant. 

Hermes had heard of Auroras pregnancy, and unbeknownst to Odin, plotted to come rescue his damsel. With strong wings, he plucked Aurora from Tarbens soil and whisked her away from Odin. Beartooth being the family man he is did not take kindly to such insults in such a short manor. The only pack to not be apart of Phobus's War had been picking a fight with the Dane King. So, he weaponized Phobus. Beartooth commanded Phobus to slaughter a child of Sabertooths alphas, and that he did. Iris fell at Star Lake before her fathers eyes and at the jaws of Phobus himself. It was then War was becoming expected. 

Beartooth gave the first call at the Proving Grounds, and Sabertooth came ready. Many fell that day, and much royal blood was spilled. But nothing could have prepared anyone for this day. Watching everyone fall, so many children of either side, Beartooth took Pandora, Sabertooths Queen into his grasps. With her screaming, he taunted Achilles, the King, before ending the life of Pandora before Achilles eyes. Beartooth would have killed Achilles next, if not for the sudden interruption and pounce of his beloved Queen Soraya. Soraya, pregnant and emotional was recognizing there would not be peace until this rein ended - And despite a heavy heart and the potential crime in what she did, she killed her mate. Beartooth was slain, before all of his pack and the enemies packs. Her honorable and merciful killing set the movement for Lova and Kublai to take the throne of Tarben, to instill a new era of peace among the packs. Furthermore, Aelous, the new heir of Sabertooth had pledged a marriage proposal to Tarben. This sparked Kublai's thoughts, into asking for a meeting between all packs to start a peaceful alliance among all.
