The Smurfy Stalwarts

In the Aeon of the Champion story series, the Smurfy Stalwarts were the adolescent smurfs who remained in the Smurf Forest area of New Vigrith, even after the events of the Bleakest Night in 86 BGY. Following the destruction of their home, the death of their leader, and the kidnapping of their youngest sibling - Lo'Shin - most smurfs abandoned the community altogether, seeing it as a lost union, a testament to times now lost to the abyss of history. Though they were a majority, a small number of smurfs banded together in determination to restore the race to its former state. They were known as the Stalwarts, and for around 2 years after the death of Papa Smurf, they sought ways to restore the village to its former glory.
