Announcements as of July 28, 2021

I have called you, and you have answered my call --

Do not mistake my silence for weakness, my forest kin. For I am willing to defend you with my fangs and claws, until the days come when am no longer able to. Keep an eye on the borders for Zelda and her sister Midna, because I will welcome them back into the flock on the day of their return.

The flood has left our forest home in a sorry state of disarray. I shall not tolerate this. Summer is here and we must rebuild our dens in time for winter. There is a lot of hard and dirty work ahead of us. But we shall face it together, as family, as a pack. Let's get back to work and then we shall hunt. I hunger for a feast.


From your new Alpha --

Moonshade, the Gravekeeper of Moladion

It is a pleasing day I am thinking, yes, for it is not so often that one our own is given to find place and land for himself. I am taking pleasure in this thing, to know that another whom served so long and well for pack my own is given to find that which he desires as Sulan had done before. Perhaps one day, Coza to, will return though I am finding indeed that I hope this not to be so. I wish him only a long reign and one most peaceful. He is a male still young, younger even then myself by a year and yet I find I am assured in his skill in this. He has shown loyalty and courage, he has shown that he is willing to stand and bleed for those he loves and I am thinking perhaps that this, truly, is all one may be given to need. Perhaps he does not yet understand what must be given up, to lead is a privilege, not a right, never, to lead is to put pack first always, always and indeed this can be a thing most hard to learn for those who were not raised, perhaps, to believe this always and forever. Yet time is a blessing indeed and for one so young and strong I am being most assured there will be time for he to learn to be this thing he needs, to be that which his followers deserve and indeed I am pleased to know that wolves my own will seek to follow him, this…Brother of Diveen. I am pleased the young wolves born to the fields and cliffs of my own pack will find a place beside him, to be as they need away from their parents and families. It is indeed a pleasing day and yet……I grow nervous still.

The walk is one most long and yet I find I am not hurried this morning. My mind has been peaceful of late, the war is won and forgotten and I desire never to have such darkness taint mine own again, the coming of Spring brings new life and Moladion is calm in this. It is a good time, I am thinking, to begin a new pack and a new era. Yet I do not walk alone this day, no, I do not cross this land unaccompanied though a part within myself perhaps wishes it was so. I allowed the violet of my gaze to drift, allowed those eyes of mine to rest upon the tall boy of white and red who strode so easily beside me. He has grown so lovely, my boy, so beautiful in all that he is and indeed he desires to see this new land, he desires to find a place within it. I take great pride in this thing, that my child, my son, desires to find life for himself for though indeed he will always be Prince of Diveen I understand, perhaps, that he is needing to find….Solaris for himself. Yet he is so young! He is but a year old and I find myself discontent with this knowledge. I am having every faith in Coza, a wolf I know well, yet his pack is not yet large, not yet equipped to keep safe wolves so young and while perhaps Solaris is not a small one any longer, he is still a child and I……do not wish to be parted from him.

Perhaps it is selfish of my mind to think these things, to desire to keep my son all for myself and indeed I know well that he desires this freedom, that he desires to be as this and that my Kane, too, is pleased in this decision. Yet I grow nervous as a mother with her first litter. I have not drawn from his side since the day of his birth, have watched over him always and I grow nervous with each stride, knowing most well that I shall leave without him this day. My son and our Prince. Yet I do not desire for him to see this worry upon myself, my features light and smooth with delicate ease this day as we approach the borderline of this pack so new and green and vast. It is a beautiful place indeed, rich with prey and life as it should be and I know most well that it will see success, Diveen will support it Brother Pack in all such things as we do Spriane. I paused once more upon the border line as is custom. I am assured indeed I would be most welcome this day, yet I am thinking, perhaps, Coza might be liking to feel a bit….official. I allowed my gaze to find my son’s once more as the boy so tall moved to seat himself beside me, his eyes of opalescence finding my own with an assurance I hoped indeed I was given to return before I raised my head to the sky to call for he, this new Alpha, the sound of my cry echoing across the land so vast.

We waited, Solaris and I, pelts of white and russet aglow in the sun as I pressed against him, lowering my head to lick at his air and smooth his fur though indeed he seemed to take great offense at this, my eyes rolling softly though I did little but grin quietly to myself in this. I am pleased this day, so very pleased for Coza and yet…..this gift I bring, this gift of my own son is one even I am not so sure I am willing to give, yet perhaps, it is these things we do for love that are holding the greatest meaning of all and indeed, if Solaris is desiring this…I will not stop him.

“You is being sure this is what you is wanting?”

I spoke softly once more, letting my gaze rest upon him as he inclined his handsome head upward, russet-rimmed eyes so bright and alive that indeed I am allowing another grin to touch my lips, to hide my own...nervousness in this thing.

”Yes, Mater, I know what it is I desire. I need to.”

I nodded once more, softly, pressing against him as we waited upon that open space, violet gaze seeking his familiar form.

THE FOREST RANKS

THE GRAVEKEEPER

The Alpha Male of Taviora. He will accept all challenges and block any steals. He has taken an oath to protect all within the forest, alive and dead.

THE KEEPER OF SECRETS

This will be Moonshade's chosen co-alpha. They will also be able to accept challanges and steals in order to defend Taviora.

THE KEEPER OF TRUTHS

This rank will belong to the chosen heir of Taviora. This wolf will probably share Moonshade's blood. This rank can be challenged for if you believe that you are a better candidate for the job.

THE FOREST COUNCIL

Although the Alpha's have the final say in all matters, Taviora is still a pack, we are still a community. These wolves are the most senior members of our ranks. Their role is to guide, serve and protect. All of them have earned their place here and they should be respected at all times. Every position on the council can be challanged for by a subordinate pack member. However the council has the right to block a pack member from gaining the position if they have concluded that the individual has placed their own selfish desires before the best interest of the pack as a whole.

THE TUSKS

The packs lead fighter. One of the strongest and bravest in our ranks. They will answer the call to protect the forest if either of the Alpha's are absent.

THE JAWS

The packs head of defence. They are our chief hunter and guardian to all within the forest borders. They know every inch of Taviora and every wolf within.

THE HORNS

The packs most senior teacher. They are responsible for teaching and guiding all of our young and new members so that they will reach their full potential.

THE EYES

The packs trusted informant. This wolf spends a lot of their time outside the forest borders, keeping their eyes, ears and nose peeled for news or potential trouble. Due to the secretive and dangerous nature of this rank, only a wolf that the pack can trust with their lives will obtain this responsibility.

THE DARKDWELLER

This is Taviora’s Head Healer. This wolf is responsible for treating the pack's wounds, injuries and illnesses. They are also expected to be one of the first on scene when a mother goes into labour. Along with their counterpart, The Soothsayer, they will train future healers for the service of our pack and our allies.

THE SOOTHSAYER

This is Taviora’s Head Counselor. Their knowledge of healing and herbal remedies are equal to that of their counterpart, The Darkdweller. This wolf specializes in helping us conquer the unseen demons in our heads and our hearts. They are also expected to help bring all children of the forest safely into this world.

NIGHTWATCHERS

Our trusted packmates that guard the borders while the rest of us sleep safely in our dens. If something is amiss within our lands, they should be the first to intercept any threat and call for back up when needed. Some might not call themselves soldiers, but they will spill blood if push comes to shove.

DAWNSTRIDERS

The most diligent and selfless of our pack. They are up at first light and leave our inner sanctum every few days in search of prey. They hunt far and wide in order to make sure none of us go hungry. While not out hunting, they are free to relax or assist the Nightwatchers, Daylightres or Dawnstriders with their tasks.

DAYLIGHTERS

This group will make up the bulk of our pack, they are our beloved family. They are generalists and commoners who are charged with looking after the most central and sacred parts of our home. Along with The Horns, they are expected to watch out for our children. We are happy to keep all within our ranks that love and respect the forest of Taviora.

DUSKWALKERS

Rumoured to be the most free spirited and independent members of our pack, they guard when no other eyes are available. They wander down all the winding dirt paths and have been known to explore into the freelands. They are envoys and ambassadors who assist The Eyes with their duty of keeping us all safe.

ANCIENT PINES

These wolves are older and have retired from active service. We thank them for all that they have done for our pack, however long or short their tenor was. They shall live out the rest of their years with the best food, shelter and company we can offer them.

THE BRIAR PATCH

This is the name for Taviora’s nursing mothers and their litters of puppies. Once they are born, at least one parent is expected to temporarily step down from their role in order to raise their pups for the first 6 months of their lives. An exemption can be made if another mother is willing to look after the young while the parents resume their service to the pack.

THE SAPLINGS

Too big for the briar patch but not yet old enough to be called a daylighter. These are all puppies between the age of 1 and 3. Pups can start their training from 2 and above if The Horns has found a suitable Mentor for them.

THE WELCOMED

These wolves are welcome within our borders anytime of the day or night. Blocking their access will be met with disapproval and possible punishment.

THE BANISHED

They are enemies of our pack and their presence will not be tolerated within or near our home. Those caught in contact with a wolf on this list will likely share the same fate.

THE SACRED TOMBS

Our brothers and sisters that have sadly left us for their next adventures. We give thanks for their lives and we send them on with all our love, hopes and dreams. Moonshade will accept the bones of any wolf that has ever called Taviora their home and will find them a special place within our hallowed grounds. Every burial mound is individual and sacred. Tampering or messing with one will not be tolerated. A crime against the dead will be treated as though it has been committed against a living pack member.

Remember, we are always watching from the shadows ...
