In the 8th summer of the Balsam Virtue Brood, the Neke quietly and mysteriously vanished, and their palace lay abandoned for a generation. At last, a new brood has awakened in the Ovon (see Return Of The Neke), and is hurrying to restore the traditional order within the hive. Each generation traditionally receives a unique name from the reigning High Queen, but as none has yet been enthroned, this new brood is currently nameless. |
In the 8th summer of the Balsam Virtue Brood, the Neke quietly and mysteriously vanished, and their palace lay abandoned for a generation. At last, a new brood has awakened in the Ovon (see Return Of The Neke), and is settling back into something resembling normal life. Each generation traditionally receives a unique name from the reigning High Queen; this one is known as the Dawnflower Brood. |
