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

I is moving to follow my Coza into his pack land this day, allowing the white of my pelt to brush against my son so young and tall and growing, trying so very hard to not think indeed that I would be leaving him this day. He is not a small one any longer, yet he is most young still and I am being his Mother, I am carrying him, caring for him, birthing him and I am thinking that perhaps some bonds simply do not break, that age does not matter, that even when it is I am old and tired as Heyel and my Solaris is well grown….that I will still care for him so very much it would seem my chest is being fit to burst. For a moment I allowed myself another grin most small, watching as he stepped forward to walk with Coza, my own forming coming to walk alongside and see this land he had claimed for himself, though indeed my thoughts had drifted again to my own Father this day. It is an amazing thing, I am thinking, that one can live for so long and see so much….pain in regards to his children and still continue to live as such. To see his mate and infant sons die, to lose so many of pack…..I am knowing now why it was my Father is being King for so very, very long. There are not so many as strong as he, not so many capable of such for I am sure I would not be. To lose a child is something I could not take, this I am sure and yet Heyel guards us still even as he grows older and slower each day, we all see this thing, though none will say. I am thinking perhaps, some part of so many of us is believing indeed that he will not die, it seems so impossible, this thing.

I pushed it from my thoughts this day, loping forward to keep pace with my once warrior and my child, allowing the violet of my gaze to pass over field and forest, the trees so thick, so tall, so high. This is a place most unlike the openness of Diveen, a place much more enclosed and concealed still, a place I am thinking my son must be learning to master for indeed it is greatly unlike the land of sun and sky to which he is being born. We moved, I am thinking, towards the centre of the pack, my paws soft and light upon the softness of the earth, the land holding scent of soil after rain and this I am liking very much. I allowed my ears to slide forward most softly at these words he offered, speaking of the den of fox and badger, my own head given to nod, agreeing with this thing he is saying for indeed it would seem none have claimed this land for pack for a time most long.

“Having much game is being a thing most good, yes, much game will bring many wolves and if season is being good, when winter is coming, you may be being blessed with many small ones.”

This, I am thinking, is sign of success for pack, when it is those who live within are willing to bare their children to such a land I am thinking it is meaning indeed that all things are fertile and of health and I hope most well, one day, that this land will bare as many young ones as Diveen and Trenus before it. Perhaps even, one day, Coza himself will father a son or daughter his own to lead when it is he no longer can. I paused in this moment to let the gentle violet of my gaze rest on my own child once more as it was he was given to speak, asking after his place, his rank, my own mind curious of this thing, curious in his choice as he seemed to grow thoughtful, my blue-eyed son.

I should like to be a peace talker, I think, is this…acceptable?

I let my eyes draw once more to Coza, allowing him to answer such things this day before it was I moved a final time forward, reaching my muzzle to my son once more, pressing it into the thickness of his fur, so snowy white as my own, yet ticked and flecked with the black of his sire and grandsire before him. It is time, I am thinking, that I am letting him have life his own and returning to my small ones within the den, for soon they will grow hungry and my Kane will grow restless without my presence. I spoke softly in this moment, whispered words in the ancient tongue to my Solaris alone before it was I turned to Coza a final time, head dipping once more in a nod of respect this day.

“Your land is being most beautiful, my Coza and I am hoping only for good things indeed. Diveen will come, always, to the call of Taviora. I am wishing luck, to both of you and I am hoping, my Solaris, that you will be visiting your family for we shall not forget you. I must be turning for home now, my other children is needing me this day. I am thinking you, Coza, for guarding my son for me this day. We will meet again, I am sure.”

I smiled once more, so softly, so gently this day, the violet of my gaze resting upon my child once more as I turned from him, as I moved to head for the border line once more for indeed if I am not leaving now, I am thinking, perhaps, I will not ever leave and I must return to my own newborns though indeed it was that I paused once more this day, to turn back and look within the centre of the pack and allow my eyes to rest a final time on my son and my Coza as they stood. I am proud this day, very proud indeed and I am sure, always, I will be.

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 ...
