>Nyctea was wise beyond time. He saw and heard everything that transpired in the valley, and all knowledge passed from him.
>Nyctea brought the sun up, and chased it down. Each dawn and dusk, the first and last thing on the horizon was his silent silhouette.
>The flashes of his changing plumage when he passed overhead heralded the onset of each new season.
>The mice who learned to interpret these signs came to understand when the cold was due, or when the early mornings would light the valley again. Those who dared to follow his shadow toward the sunset came upon seeds, and fresh springs from the river, and land in which new grains and fruits grew in plenty.

>And so the first enclave expanded. It spread to the river, and to the southern lands where the ground turned sandy and dry.
>But such dominion came at a price. Foragers now roamed far and wide, collecting even more of the grains and seeds they needed from the plenty of the valley. The cold seasons they endured were long, and unforgiving, and even huddled in the safety of their warrens the many mouths to feed meant every bit of food was precious, and every day brought new uncertainty.

- Descriptions of a large raptor or other predatory bird in contemporary works are consistent with potential encounters Murinae likely first had with genus Bubo (the true owls) in the late Pliocene.
- The archaeotaxological record suggests that as early enclave societies developed, their populations experienced localized resource pressure: eventually, there was not enough food to sustain growth. It's likely that after a brief period of overshoot, populations stabilized at just below a carrying capacity.
