History
Fall 1152
- In the Fall of 1152, the guardmice Kenzie, Saxon and Lieam ventured into Barkstone to uncover the source of the mysterious map of Lockhaven. After visiting the June Alley Inn to buy refreshments, they then set about exploring the cities stores, dropping in questions to the common mice along the way.
- The town guard didn't like their line of questions so they followed group, planning on arresting them and throwing them out of the city. The guardmice decided that a distraction was in need and before Kenzie could stop him, Saxon announced to the town a spectacle to behold: a fight between two of Gwendolyn's finest. While the two experienced guardmice fought, the tenderpaw Lieam managed to slip away through the crowd. He found a store entitled Clarke's Cartography and, hiding his cloak and dagger in a cart, he entered the store and questioned the owner, Clarke. Lieam discovered that the store was being used as The Axe's recruitment room, and that Clarke was responsible for the map.
- Meanwhile, the fight between Kenzie and Saxon had grown out of hand, and two of The Axe's members, Lyndon and Thaddeus lassoed the pair and dragged them to the outskirts of the city.
