The Redeemer, The Contender, and their Sidekick

Prologue
Searchers, that's what they called them. A couple decades back, the so called " Alphas " decided to send out teams of animals to search for new lands and heartstones. The Searchers would be in teams of 3 or 4 and be sent out of Jamaa with a couple pounds of dehydrated fruit slices and a couple knives. The Alphas had said that if they were smart enough they would make it back.

And they did. They had not only made it back, they found a heartstone, and with it Jupiter, the newest Alpha, and the first clouded leopard. The Alphas, pleased that their plan had worked, chose the group of animals that had returned to be in charge of all further searching parties, with Jupiter overseeing them.

So, about a good, nice, 15 of this went on, until Jupiter had decided that enough new lands and animals had been found. He had maps made of where Jamaa ended and where the rest of the world started. The majority of the phantoms had been driven out by now and some lurked here and there. Slowly, jammers who had become to old for Jamma left to settle in the land outside, now known as The Outlands. This had been a peaceful movement for Jamma, but that peace can't last forever.
