The Lo forest has always been a dreaded place. After all, it's rumoured to house the worst of monsters…..
And the Scoundrels.
The Scoundrels are the people of the kingdom of Mal that were too 'Horrid' and 'Dangerous' for prison, therefore banished to Lo forest. The scale varies, and some may not be as horrid and dangerous as they've been labeled. In fact, most of the Scoundrels are only in the Lo because they challenged the Queen's cruel and harmful ways. But, looks can be deceiving. You have no way of knowing why they are in the forest, or whether the Scoundrel's words are true. Everyone in the forest usually minds their own business, until a child was found abandoned at the edge of the Lo. The Council (a council formed of the Scoundrels that have been in the forest for the longest, only to assemble when the Lo and it's inhabitants are threatened.) is gathered to discuss the issue, and it is ruled that the Scoundrels will form a community to fully support this child as a whole.
•••••
There are 4 council members! ONE COUNCIL SPOTS LEFT! I am the child, and the youngest Scoundrel is 15. This takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. Scoundrels are respectful of one another, and avoid getting in conflicts. There are 8 Scoundrels so far. This is simply to help me remember lol. If you have any questions, please ask.
