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
How long had she run before she was sure he had not followed her? Around and around she had gone, weaving and trekking through the most difficult terrain she could. Only now had she managed to return to the borders of Iromar, her muscles' only further exhausted from her escape. The sheer weight of her attacker had bruised her ribs as he had slammed against her, something that now ached with a vengeance. Her muzzle had been marred by puncture wounds, blood crawling down the sides of her cheeks and covering her muzzle and jaw. It burned, stung, ached - it was not a pain she had experienced before, and she feared not only for the scarring but whether or not such an injury could adversely affect her hunting capabilities. At the moment, it hurt too greatly to bite down, the pressure causing the wounds to seemingly flare into pain - at least she had learnt that trying to maul the bastard rather than later on.
She moved over the border at a slow jog, finally relieved to be safe in its perimeter once more. She doubted the male would have followed her to Iromar, particularly when she was not so sure if she were truly the intended target or not - after all, it was all too easy to recall the brutalized face of Vidar. His eye, his ear, even a chunk of flesh from his neck had been shaved clean off by the male's teeth - Devil May Cry. He had lost his mind, she was sure of it. Why had he attacked a wolf he knew to be pack? Diveen was a breeding ground for stupidity it seemed, yet they had the nerve to accuse Iromar of being such. She growled as she continued over the landscape, her pace now a slow, drawn out stride. This was her punishment for attempting to reconcile with pieces of her past, she figured. It was not just her that received punishment, either.
"Mother?"
She heard the voice from the tall grass, a quiet voice but one she knew all too well. Wraith had seemingly found her, having abandoned his post at the den. She did not respond through words but she forced a strained smile to her bloodied muzzle, her tail producing a stiff wave though she did not stop. Out from the marshes he came, slowly coming to her side and marching along with her - his eyes remained fixated upon her wounds, head tilting from left to right in silence. She watched him from the corner of her eye as they marched towards their den, his presence calming her to some extent though she felt her heart pounding wildly in her chest. She could not risk herself, not like she had, if only for the sake of her Paldor and their children. She'd been given a chance to finally be happy - why had she dared ask for more?
"I'm okay, son."
She finally uttered the words, bending down to lick her son's muzzle as they came to the den in which he had very well been born. She paused then, searching over the area for any of her other family - she seemingly found none and she fell to her belly at the entrance, her head rested finally atop her paws though she dare not move from such a position. She was tired, she was well and truly tired and her body refused to continue on any further at that point. It had gotten her home, after all, and wasn't that enough?
"I will protect."
With that, her son sat by her, ever alert as he pressed against her lightly. She'd humor him, she figured, and with a final weak smile, she intended to catch some sleep while she had the chance. She would have to tell them all eventually that Diveen had openly made such an attack, even if she was unsure of the true target. Did it matter?
"Wake me if another approaches, my son."
And with that, she slept with her son's ever watchful presence lingering so close by.
