During the war, the Kypiq of Kytiaan (Kit-she-ann) hid away in the trees. Their forests were marched through and burned; but all they could do was watch as their lives were disrupted. To escape the war they jumped from tree to tree until no further fighting could be found. Forced onto the ground for the first time in years, they picked up the charred remnants of what little was left of their lives and pressed out into the unknown in search of a new start.
