[k]
[charaFace E 0]
Patxi
You do know about the Great Cold Wave that happened four hundred and fifty years ago, right? The new ice age they say happened after a meteor struck the planet?
[k]
Patxi
Once that hit, Earth turned into an ice planet. It got so cold that the old species, the...uh, humans...couldn't survive here anymore.
[k]
Patxi
They say that none of the other countries were able to handle the cold, so their populations died out.
[k]
Patxi
But Russians have always dealt with the cold,[sr]so we had it better here.
[k]
Patxi
Even so, we still lost about ninety percent of our population. Hell, we nearly lost the whole damn country.
[k]

So before that could happen, Ivan the Terrible and a mage developed a plan. We, the Yaga, are the result.

Originally, the Oprichniki were a corps of soldiers established by Ivan the Terrible himself.

It is said they dressed completely in black, carried around dog heads and whips made from bristling animal pelts, and only rode black horses.

Holmes
Their job was to eradicate the Tsar's enemies. It is said they would set upon their opponents like dogs, and clean them out as swiftly as a broom gathering dust.

They swore absolute loyalty to the Tsar, and committed all manner of unspeakable atrocities in his name.

I glared at the jackass as I turned around and headed off in the opposite direction from the sealed-off hunting grounds.
[k]
It's not just him. The other Yaga are all keeping their eyes on me too, making sure I don't go messing up their territory.
[k]
...Some Demonic Beasts are easier to hunt than others.
[k]
The Krichat' tend to be on the harder side, since they'll keep calling in reinforcements until you're overwhelmed, but there are some places it's manageable.
[k]
Like, say, a ravine that leads to a dead end.
[k]
Somewhere the other Krichat' can't hear their pack mate's cries for help.
[k]
Yaga have taken advantage of that and set up hunting grounds that make it easy to harvest Demonic Beasts.
[k]
It may not compare to what I hear the old times were like, when they used to breed enough domesticated beasts on farms for everyone to eat...
[k]
...but nowadays, hunting grounds like that, where you can hunt in safety and rest easy knowing the beasts will multiply again over time, are lifelines for us.
[k]
Which is why it only takes getting labeled as a weakling once for everything to go south.
[k]
It doesn't take long for a Yaga to die if we don't get enough to eat. ...And this town is ruthless about seeing the runt of the litter cut loose.
[k]
The whole town makes it a point to eliminate nearby villages, curry favor with the Tsar, and kowtow to the Oprichniki.
[k]
They know about the Yaga's ironclad law[line 2]that only the strong may eat[line 2]and maliciously use it against us.
[k]

In one sense, her actions stem from a love for humanity. That includes driving the weak into tight spots, sneering at them, and stepping on them.

She will never oppose us, or the Crypters. It's best to think of her as a difficult mercenary who will get the job done as long as you can pay for her services.
