The story centers on the medieval misadventures of two {{Lovable Rogue}}s: a tiger named Tor and an arctic fox named Silver, a pair of thieves who wreak havoc (intentional and otherwise) throughout the kingdom of Vale Valley and the surrounding area. In later strips they are joined by Kiela, a feline sorceress with a DarkAndTroubledPast. The characters (or rather [[ShowWithinAShow actors playing them]]) also appear in the author's other comic ''Webcomic/NineToNine''.
