Think of this SB not as just another storybook that you're joining, but as a novel that we're writing together.
Place
You're in the country of Arbido. The country consists of ten different tribes; Dohg, Katt, Reptyll, Byrd, Bair, Beecst, Roddint, Prymait, Fynn, and Hoph. (Don't worry, I'm not going to make you memorize them all). These tribes don't get alone with each other, at all. They are constantly fighting with each other, they don't trade merchandise, and they don't see, speak, or mingle with one another. The one and only exception is the Bair and Beecst tribe, they live together in harmony.
Plot
You are from one of these tribes, but you are different from the rest of your tribe, you are chosen.
Before you were born, your parents had a dream sent from Jira (Jira is like the God/Jesus figure in this storybook. Although you don't have to be Christians to be in this SB). The dream said that your parents would have a child (you) and that he/she was chosen by Jira for a special task, though no one knows what that task is.
Jira gave your parents a bronze, four inch, pie-shaped charm and commanded them to give to you when you were born and to never let you be separated from it. The charm is your 'mark' that shows that you are chosen; you can where it in your bracelet, anklet, arm band, belt, crown, whatever you want, but never part with it. You need your charm so that when the time comes, Jira's messengers (angels) know where to find you, so that they can give you your task.
That time has come.
Your task
Jira's messengers came to you in a dream/vision telling you that you are to meet 9 others that are chosen, like you. You are to meet them at a place called Council Clearing on the full moon. The messenger did not tell you what you are to do once you reach the clearing with the others, only that you are to go. (I will tell you what your quest is in the DT before we start).
Spots
There is only one 'chosen one' in each tribe, which means there are only ten spots open, so if you want to join, join fast to get in the tribe that you want.
(No more spots)

Other information
Now, if you're to be part of this country there are some things you should know about the tribes.
1 Number one is your appearance. The people in this country look slightly different then we do. According to the tribe, they have certain appearances.
Here's a list of the different tribes and their appearances; I also added a little bit about their general personallity/behavior, and any other details that I think is necessary for you to know.
Dohg (pronounced like the word Dog)

Byrd(pronounced 'Bird')

Hoph (pronounced 'Hoof')

Katt (Cat)

Fynn (Fin)

Bair (Bear)

Beecst (Beast)

Roddint (Rodent)

Pymait (Primate, as in monkeys and such)
Spoiler! :
Reptyll (Reptile) For all of you people who love to have emo, dark characters, here's your chance.
Spoiler! :
By now you have probably figured out that the people in this storybook are more like animal/people. The reason that I didn't mention that before, was because it sounds weird, little kid-ish, and dumb, and you probably wouldn't have even given my SB a chance.
Notice I have made ten different groups, there should be a place for every animal in those ten different groups. With the exception of some, such as the elephant, hippo, beaver, etc. These misfit families live as merchants by themselves. If you have a question about which tribe an animal belongs in, then ask about it in the DT and I will gladly tell you.
Now, I want to make sure there is no misunderstanding, these are not animals, they are not people that can shape shift into animals, they can not talk/communicate with animals, they are people with an added animal body part and\or some animal behavior.
2 The number two thing that you should know is that your name means everything. Not only does your last name determine what animal you represent, it also tells what rank you have in your tribe. According to your name, you are either in the royal family, a peasant, or somewhere high in honor, such as a general or a duke. Here's some examples: For the Byrd tribe, the eagle family is royal, any bird of prey family would be high in honor, and the song bird families would be peasants. For the Katt tribe, the lion family is royal, the big cats are high in honor, and the house-pet cats are peasants. Get it? (Again, any questions can be posted in the DT).
3 It is middle aged time. Bow and arrows, swords, axes, no electricity, grow their own food, etc. But they do not talk like "thee" and "thou".
4 The land that they live on is shaped like a circle. Each tribe is pie-shaped, with rivers running in between the tribes, like boundary lines. The council clearing (where the chosen ones are to meet) is in the middle of the land, where the tribes all come together. The leaders of each tribe used to meet there every year under a peace treaty, but that was long ago, now they don't get along as well.
5 One more thing about their appearance. They get there looks on the dad's side of the family. So if your mom's last name was Angelfish and your dad was Clownfish, then your fins would be orange clown fish fins. Or if your mom's last name was Robin and your dad's was Raven, then you would have black hair and black wings. Get it?
Rules! Everyone loves rules!
