In the heart of Northern Vale, the Feldans, a peaceful nomad tribe, lived a slow-paced life as hunters. Among them was Popol, a young boy known for his mischievous antics and adventurous spirit. While his tribe saw his ambitions as childish daydreams, Popol dreamed of becoming a legendary hero whose name would be sung by others. In an effort to prove his worth, he pulled all kinds of pranks that only served to alienate him further from his tribe.
Determined to impress his tribe and gain their respect, Popol set out on a dangerous quest to kill a ferocious frost wolf all by himself. However, his journey took an unexpected turn when he stumbled into a trap in the thick forest. There he met Kupa, a trapped frost wolf whose front paw was clamped by a beast trap. Despite his initial fear, Popol saw the same loneliness in Kupa's eyes and decided to help him.
What followed was a remarkable tale of friendship and adventure between two lonely souls. Popol and Kupa slowly formed a bond and became the best partners in adventure, travelling the frozen land together and repelling any danger that crossed their path.
Their friendship was tested when a group of vultures attacked them, leaving them defenseless. However, Popol's bravery and selflessness saved Kupa from the trap and earned them both the freedom they deserved. From that day on, Popol the Fearless and Kupa became inseparable, their adventures and friendship earning them a place in the legendary tales of Northern Vale.
