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 not so very long before he is given to come, my Coza, my wolf of black and white who walks so proudly upon lands his own and indeed I am thinking these are lands most lovely, most beautiful and most deserving of the King it is he will become when it is he is ready. Perhaps, at first, he will find that this thing is not so easy, perhaps in time he will be as I, will question so very much of that which is done and the power it is we are given to have with our decisions and choices as others are not. Leadership is a great privilege and yet one most hard to burden sometimes. It is a glorious thing, a beautiful thing and yet……it is perhaps the most heart-breaking, difficult, hard and painful of all, how you say? Careers. To lead is to see the joy of some many, to share in that, love in that and feel it from each one around you, yet, when it is that times become harder, when death strikes or war comes…..they will always seek to blame and he will feel perhaps as I did then, the weight of sadness and pain of every wolf, or every child. They say that is my weakness, they say I care too much and indeed perhaps that is so, yet I am thinking, surely, it takes far more courage to care then it does to be as Ishtar or Baphomet- and simply turn away from those she led to their own destruction. We were victorious, perhaps and indeed in this I celebrate as all others, yet to my mind this victory, this war in which Coza himself fought is not a war to be won, out victory is only that all returned home and nothing more. That is the prize I take.

I hope though indeed, that never will war come to this new land, so clean and green and open, the land to which I am leaving my second son and third child, my beautiful boy of white and black and red whom it is I cherish so deeply and so much. He grows each day and indeed I know most well he is no longer a child so small, yet still he is young and still it is that my heart….aches with this. I will not hold him back, I will not command he stay within Diveen though I know most surely he would if it was I was given to show how much it is I do not desire he go and yet…I will not burden him with such things, I will allow my Solaris to see only that I am pleased in him and his choices and allow myself to trust, surely, that this gift I give to this pack, a gift of my own blood will find his place as he so desires. The tail of the male was given to wave as I stood, allowing my own thick plume of white to return this gesture, head nodding in greeting at his approach as my child stood tall beside me under the gaze of the one it is he is desiring to serve. It would seem indeed, that Coza does not desire to much of that which is formal today and indeed I am finding this a pleasing, comforting thing. Perhaps it is a gesture most forward and yet I do not believe it so as I stepped towards he, this new King of Sun and Sky and placed my muzzle against his own in this token of respect- of equality from Queen to King. He is as I now and in this he holds great respect and I wish him to understand it so. I allowed a smile to touch my features as it was I stepped back, Solaris given to dip his head as he seated himself at my shoulder, my pelt melded softly with his own though once more I forced such thought away, allowing only the pleasant touch of my violet gaze to meet the Alpha male.

“I was wishing to see these lands for myself, with eyes my own, I have heard only of this land and I am thinking it is my scouts is being right, it is a place most lovely, my Coza and I am pleased in this for you. This is why I have come, to tell you these things, which Diveen celebrates for you and your land and is wishing indeed that you will be happy here. We are offering congratulations.”

I smiled once more, words soft and gentle on the morning breeze that teased and played with the soft thickness of my pelt as the sun lit sun fur to gentle white gold and the red upon my spine moved glow in the weak light that dappled from the trees above and it was indeed that Solaris shifted beside me once more, the violet blue of his eyes given to meet my own. He has my Mothers eyes, so perfect, so exactly like her own, blessed in this way, just as Azrael was, to wear such beautiful features. I see so much of Zeivah within him, I see Heyel when he grins, Kane when he walks and Devil when he watches while I am assured indeed there is Kiska in his build and my own touch to his pelt and voice. So much in one so small, one I am still being sure is not ready and yet indeed I forced my eyes away once more, to stare so long at ones son, I am thinking, is maybe being a bit odd. I returned my gaze to Coza once more, speaking softly again.

“We have come this day for another matter also. We have come because it is that Diveen is wishing to be as Brother Pack to the Taviora…Tribe. Diveen is wishing to be allied to you and yours, to be as friends if you is wishing it too and as such, my Kane and I, we is bringing you a….gift, a symbol of our respect and of trust.”

I smiled softly once more, inkling my head sideways, reaching down to gently nudge forward my yearling son so ungainly and tall and- young. I would be a lie most surely were I to say I did not take great pride in this thing, for indeed how is it that a Mother could not be proud of a child so assured he knows what it is he wants, a living alliance between this land of fields and sun and my own kingdom of gold and heights.

“If it is you is liking to have him, Solaris is wishing to live here and my Kane and I are giving our blessing in this. He is our gift I am thinking, to you and your pack and it is a choice of his own. Please, my Coza….please watch over him, he……is my son.”

I am thinking perhaps that this is being the first of all times in which my voice is given to break, just a little, just slightly, my gaze turned away most softly as I blinked within the light. I am most proud in this, so very proud and yet this does not mean it is an easy thing, even jus for a little while, to say goodbye. I reached forward once more, resting my muzzle against my son before it was I stepped back from him, letting him go forward to stand before Coza, the Alpha he had chosen for himself this day as I watched with quite grace. He moved to stand before this taller male on gangly limbs and large paws, on a frame half-grown and yet with determination still in this thing he wanted, his own gaze moving to meet the Alpha males as his ears folded back as they should before one of higher rank though indeed I am thinking perhaps this is the first time my son has offered such a thing to another this day. He is determined he will do this thing, and do it for himself.

”I understand we have not met before, not truly. I am as my Mother says, Solaris, son of Kane and Isola, second Prince of Diveen but I would like instead, perhaps, to be a wolf of Taviora- if you would have me. I will not see my family’s crown, that is my Brothers path, I need to find my own, please.”

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 ...
