Except from Historical Figures of Pelaria:
King Pepetus was the eighth king of the age. He was the first king chosen from outside the Six Clans. His coronation marked the end of the Little Fur Secession and Rebellion, which was sparked by Pepetus himself.
Amongst Pepetus’ most lasting contributions to Pelarian society was his decision to move governing power from the paws of the king to the Committee of Six. Prior to his coronation and throughout his reign as king, he was an activist for equality amongst furs big and small. For this reason, he is still revered as one of the greatest kings in Pelarian history even though most of the decisions and rulings that are associated with the later part of his reign were in fact made by the Committe of Six.
Carja’s Notes:
Pepetus’ story was basically written on a dare. After sharing some of my ideas for Age of Animus with a friend from work, I was challenged to write a story about her cat, Pepe, king of cats. She also suggested the name Pepetus to fit the setting better. It had been some time since I’d written any stories for Age of Animus, so I accepted the challenge and wrote the story of how Pepetus became king.
