Get with me if you want to move up in rank. I'm going to change up the pack tasks for a little change of pace.
Congratulations to Adrian on her promotion to Governess. She will handle the guidance and teaching of our young pups in Iromar.
If you have a ^ next to your name, that means you're up for promotion so see me or send me a message on Discord so we can see where to move you. All others interested in specializing or getting a rank, let me know so we can figure out how to make that happen.
The pack board has been updated. If you wanted to remain a member, let me know either on here or Discord and I'll get you back on the board. Otherwise, let's have a thread!
I know I had a couple replies for the training with Spirane so I will be starting that thread soon. Stay tuned!
I am still working on an alliance with Diveen and Asteraia so stay tuned. If you have any information or would like to help, please let me know. If anyone has any ideas to promote activity within the pack, also, let me know. I am open for plots and such! Meanwhile, thank you all for your continued support of the pack.

restless: i found your weakness
If there were one thing she was awful at, it was picking a favorite. There had been Caligula, and there had been Elric but now there was Vainglory. Even so small, she admired him the most, watching him so closely. In time, she was sure, that could change but for now, he was the largest and the most persistent on his quest to be king of the lot and she was more than content to allow such a thing. Besides, being confined to a den was not exactly the most exhilarating of tasks so it was most fun to make some kind of game out of the children. Once she knew which one was which (she only recognised Vainglory thanks to his greater size), the games could really begin though. These one's would survive and they would grow up to be as son's should be, for she would mother them in all the ways she should have mothered her past children. This was her new start - well, her third new start at least.
She'd barely noticed the sound of foot falls until she saw movement from the corner of her eye - Paldor, she was sure, for there were few white wolves in Iromar with enough spine to approach her (or so it seemed, at least.) Before she could have even gotten a word in though, he was gone like the ghost he was - she huffed in distaste, hoping she would not have to track him down at a later date and drag him back to Iromar. If he was going to pull a runner, she figured, he should have done it much sooner - poorly planned, Paldor. Shuffling, she poked her nose out of the den, sifting the air for his scent with a low combination of a growl and whine. He was still there but what on earth he was doing was beyond her - she could just hear his paws running to and fro like the mad man he was. What had she expected, honestly?
Her worries were short lived for no sooner had she contemplated marching up there and dangling each damn pup in front of him did he return - with berries. Lots of berries and a spiel about how she should have come to get him. She rolled her eyes and bit her tongue, suppressing the urge to insist that it was his fault for not dreaming about it. She watched him, amused, as he pawed at the berries, marveling at his moment of genius before leaning away from the pups to allow him into the den. She'd done the hardest work so now he could do the simple task of marking them all - smart, but for now he didn't need to know that.
"At least it spruces up their smell, too," she mused to herself, sniffing curiously at the trio as Paldor settled down. With them finally marked, she was free to relax and with a tired sigh, she stretched out and allowed the three of them to... do whatever they wanted to. Of course that meant them getting into a heaped pile of squirming, angry puppy squeaks. It was pleasant, though, to see Paldor looking so... animated, she thought. He looked happy for once, maybe even a little proud all while she looked tired and less than impressive. The curse of childbirth, no?
"I hope you've always wanted a son because we have three of them; Vainglory is the red, Istas the black and Wraith the blue. If there's a fourth, he can damn well stay in there till I'm ready."
She poked at her belly with her muzzle, her lips tugged back into a playful smile before she settled back down. She took a moment to simply... look up at him, admire his features for the first time in forever. Yes, he'd make for handsome pups - though, they'd probably benefit from taking some of her more silken fur. As far as she was concerned, though, that moment in time was perfect.
"So what're we going to teach them first? How mash up berries or how to cast some of your trinkets?"
She was actually curious - how did the whole mystic deal worked? She wasn't sure how she felt knowing there was potential for it within the three; Celesdue had been... different, and she'd always been a loner at heart because of it. All her children had been as such and perhaps some part of her just hoped at least one child of hers could live a somewhat normal life.
