Somewhere far away, there exists another Earth… a parallel reality to our own where man has never existed, but animals speak, think, and act like us.

The story takes place in an AlternateUniverse, [[InAWorld on an Earth where]] humans have never existed. With humans absent, various mammal species have evolved into intelligent, civilized creatures called [[InsistentTerminology "sentients"]]. On a small island in the middle of the ocean, eight sentient species have evolved, and have clashed with one another for thousands of years. The story takes place during a period of uneasy truce, in which the island's only city enforces order by permanently banishing any "dangerous elements" to the uncharted forest on the island's eastern side. Those that are banished call themselves Outcasts, and the story is about a multi-species group of these exiles, fighting for survival. In time, though society has rejected them, the Outcasts will become critical to the survival of their species, their homes, and everything that they know.
