Doviello legend says that early in the Age of Winter a Hippus city was destroyed by the Illians. One small baby survived the slaughter and was left alone until a she-wolf passed through the ruins and heard the baby's cries. She raised the human baby on her milk and he became the father of the Doviello civilization. The wolf's name was Asena and Doviello Axemen are named after this legend.
There have been many attempts by the Doviello to imply some greater lineage. Their stories often conflict and have little to do with actual history. This legend is no different.
The truth is that the Doviello are the mutts of Erebus, made up of men and women who cast off their humanity in an attempt to survive in the Age of Ice. They were as likely to adopt a few members from a conquered tribe as they were to kill a few of their own each week in brutal infighting. As such no true lineage could ever be traced, except that only the strongest and most violent would remain among their ranks for more than a few days.
