Story time

I've picked out a story to work with already, and have been drawing up some ideas, though more work is needed with them since I haven't yet done very extensive research on the Iroquois art style. But on to the more important thing, the story!

Ga-oh is the Iroquois lord of the winds, he is a giant and a great warroir who's power was so great that he was in danger of tearing the whole world apart, so he called out to the world for help, and to his great lodge in the Western sky came four animals.

The first to arrive was the bear, who arrived with blowing snow and blizzards, and so Ga-oh leashed him to his northern door and gave him dominion over the frigid northern winds.

Second was the panther, who arrived with a tempest of swirling storms. He too was given a leash, bound to guard over the howling western wind.

Third was the moose, who brought with him dark and gloomy clouds, as if the very sky was weeping. And here at the eastern door was the moose leashed so that he could watch over the wet winds of the east.

Last to arrive was the fawn, who brought first a gentle breeze that smelled of spring flowers. And here did the fawn stay, bringing the gentle southern winds, ever searching for it's mother.
