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

His children were a delight. Never again in his life did he imagine himself being a Father and let alone having a family. But, here he was, with his lovely red-head and their beautiful creme and russet children running amok beneath their paws. All but for little Reain who was still missing- but that would be dealt with later, perhaps when they were all situated. At this point, they were all upon the border of Taviora, awaiting patiently for Coza to come greet them. The pale male very much looked forward to seeing their friend and introducing the children to their godfather. Out of the corner of his bright violet irises, he can see a creme and russet bullet heading straight for him. Simply because he can and he knows Roamin will enjoy it- he extends his back foot closest to his son ever so slightly. Just on time, because it ends up with the little tyke slamming into the paw and sending him tumbling rather noisily. The pale creme of his pelt is plastered with grass and- surprise there- stained a vivid emerald. But that does not stop the boy, as Sen know close to nothing will.

Just like that the boy is back on his paws and prancing about- and then he proves himself as the pup he is by disregarding the border and heading into the packlands to circle trees with a constant yapping leaving his jaw, causing his Father to roll his eyes. Such a playful thing, so full of life and energy. Perhaps this was what Hush had been like in her youth, and the thought has a broad smile caressing his handsome, slender muzzle. Turning his gaze on his love, he watches her as she takes in their children and everything around them. He knew she found the land beautiful, as he did himself, and it warmed him to know she was content and happy with him- with them. His neck still burned with her last caress, where she had nuzzled him and he had leaned heavily into her. She waited patiently with him, and Sen took his place at her side, sitting close to her so that their sides pressed gently against one another. Leaning on her, he watched on as Mireille called out to Roamin- but ever the good girl, remained where she was beside her Mother, and not galavanting over the border as Roa did.

Sen adored his family, and was content to simply observe and watch them all interact. He glanced momentarily at Hush to see if she would reprimand Roa for his actions- but he was just a pup, after all, and Coza was a dear friend. He would learn, one day of course the courtesy needed to be given to others, but for now it was alright for him to run and play and love life. But what happened next was completely as well as utterly unexpected. The sudden presence of another wolf has Sen's creme and exquisitely marked hackles raising and his upper lip curling. The wolf is young, and goes unrecognized until the scent hits him. Kellin. It's Kellin. Instantly his guard is dropped and a low whine escapes his muzzle. The child that was taken from Hush when she herself was taken. He's alive. He's here. Sen had not seen the other children that he had taken in, and the suddena appearance of Kellin has his mind reeling. He was so young- would he even remember the pale wolf? Sen had taken care of them, watched over them- loved them and cared for them as his own. But would Kellin know that?

Of course, immediately he goes to Hush, his entire demeanor speaking love and want and the need for acceptance. Sen aches to reach out to him, to comfort him and welcome him- but he refrains. He knows the child needs this, needs his Mother much more than he needs him. He would wait, patiently, until Kellin turned to him and then he would decide on his actions. He hoped the boy did not resent him and that he would accept him into his life- just as Sen had done for him. The creme wolf can only hope.

you have ever known is dead and gone

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 ...
