"Frost Lark Founding Story"
Our story starts with a prince. This prince was the son of the chief of the Tribe of the Earthen Grass. It had been a time of peace for the whole land, and as the tribe always worked through peaceful approaches, the hunters were taught to kill only for food, and no one ever learned how to fight. The chief decided that should a time of war ever appear before the tribe, that the tribe would immediately step out of the conflict. He ensured that each member of the tribe would be raised with this mindset.
He always assumed that his own son would grow up with this belief as well, so he never specifically taught such beliefs to the heir of the tribe. When the prince had grown up, he began to give the tribal hunters orders, and since he was the son of the chief, they obliged to his orders. Using this power, he taught his men the art of fighting, something he had learned when in contact with another, more violent tribe, the Blood Heart Tribe. The hunters were secretly being trained the fight, so that eventually, once the prince was chief, he could lead an attack of the Blood Heart Tribe, and steal their land.
But once the chief found out what was happening, and how his son had betrayed his tribe's way of life, he was furious. He kicked his own son out of the tribe temporarily. The hopes were that the prince should learn from his isolation in nature, but instead, the ambitious prince crossed into the Blood Heart Tribe's territory. He purposely let them see him before he ran. They took this trespassing as a sign of war, and attacking the Tribe of Earthen Grass became their next plan. The prince stayed hidden while each piece of his plot fell into place.

Music makes the world go round. Really. It does. Why do you think Earth spins? It's because of the tiny music people living underground who are forced to constantly play music. They make our planet spin. And you know what they play? Yamaha instruments. So you should buy Yamaha instruments. Since the tiny music people do.

"Frost Lark Founding Story" (continued)
The chief was killed in the battle. The Blood Heart Tribe, feeling content with their revenge, left the Tribe of Earthen Grass in turmoil. Who would lead? Who would save their tribe? Without hope, they began to fall apart. Just when they couldn't get any worse, the prince returned. The tribe was so desperate they immediately named him chief, and with that power, he planned to finally take the land he wanted.
Overall, I liked this a lot. The massive backstory was an excellent addition, it refueled the story and gave it some oomph. Because Frost Lark can't just keep going on and on, you have to keep it interesting, and this achieved that.
