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.

I tilt my head, unable to control the amusement glittering in my bright blues as the girl starts twisting and contorting her features. I don't know for the life of me what she's up to but whatever it is, it's pretty entertaining. My ears flicker uncertainly, my haunches squatting beneath me as I take a seat to enjoy the show. When she finally gives me a smirk, the first I've seen from her since our meeting, it dawns on me. She's still trying to mimic me! I guess I should be flattered on some level. I'm not used to being looked up to, to being anyone's role model, let alone a young girl.
I can tell she's puzzled when I describe to her how its not usual to just say what you're thinking to the first wolf you see. Apparently she doesn't get out so much, or maybe she just doesn't pay attention to the way others socialize. I've learned to choose my words wisely around others, especially when it comes to eating habits since I don't exactly eat the usual buffet. When I mention size, her whole face lights up like Christmas and its enough to almost make my heart melt a little...almost. None the less, I can tell I just made her day and its a little sobering. I try not to dawn on it too much.
When I tell her that I'm not exactly a giant amongst my peers, she giggles. At first I narrow my eyes slightly, thinking she's making fun of me or something but then it hits me that she's just happy to know she's not the only one. I guess I can accept that. I quickly recompose my features, giving her a smirk of forgiveness so she doesn't think I'm mad at her (not like I care or anything.) When she moves toward me, I freeze up, ears flickering uncertainly as I raise a brow at her in question. What does she think she's doing? I'm not used to others coming to me. Rather they like to go the opposite direction most of the time. When she stops before me, I stare down at her, blinking in puzzlement as she simply tilts her head at me and continues to watch me.
Her tongue lolls out like a dog as she dances in place and its almost cute. I frown slightly when she calls me a runt but I let it slide, at least this once. I like her next comment about me being better though. I straighten a little, my eyes gleaming and I nod in agreement as I lower my head some to make it more on her level.
"It's all about the speed. Hone your reflexes and your agility and you're as good as undefeated. They can't pummel you if they can't catch you."
I give her a playful wink. She squeals and my ears fold back momentarily, insulted by the sound but again, I let it slide. I just can't bring myself to be violent to a pup. If she was an adult though and made that atrocious sound, I would be biting her right about now. She speaks again and I can only blink a few times in surprise. Did she seriously just call me HER Spike? The last time I heard that was out of Dru's mouth but that was back when she loved me, back when she wanted to be with me. My lips set in a grim line as I'm dragged back to those bitter sweet memories. The girl introduces herself as Siren. It's a mysterious name, for sure. Goes with her black and red fur, like a deadly harlot in the making. She asks me to make her better some day and I screw up my face like I'm thinking about it.
"I guess if you can prove yourself worthy of my training then yes, I can teach you. With a name like that, you're going to want to be in good form."
I give her a wry smirk. I'm sure she'll be quite the looker when she's older. She'll need to show the boys what she's made of. I stiffen the moment I feel her nose touch my leg. Snapping my head down, I stare at her transfixed for a moment, simply blinking like its all I can do. I've never had someone show such a gesture of good will toward me, no one but Dru has ever touched me in anything other than violence. When my composure finally comes back to me, I force myself to relax and give her a soft scolding look.
"You'll want to keep those to a minimum, love. Can't have the boys thinking you're right easy. You need to make them beg for your touch. It's only fangs and claws from now on, right?"
My features soften, hoping she understands that I'm telling her this for her own good. If she wants my training, here is my first piece of advice.
Monarch
Pretty simple, Alpha of Iromar. Ultimate authority. What I say, goes.
Chief
The 'Co-Alpha'. He is her equal and has all the same authorities as she does. He is be respected and can take challenges and block steals.
Deputy
The Beta of Iromar. The most trusted wolf under the Alpha. Has all the same authorities of the Monarch in her absence. Second in command. Can block steals and take challenges.
Council
The advisor to the Monarch. One who's wisdom is often sought in matters of politics and war. Not necessarily an elder but someone the Monarch looks up to.
Trooper
The head warrior of Iromar. Shows the most skill in combat and has experience to back it up. Trains the soldiers and serves as their direct supervisor. Can block steals.
Stalker
The head hunter of Iromar. Shows the most skill in hunting and providing for the pack. Tasked with leading pack hunts and teaching the pups of the pack at designated times. Trains the hunters and serves as their direct supervisor. Can block steals.
Medic
The head healer of Iromar. Skilled in herbs and emergency medicine. Tasked with checking on the Monarch/Deputy after a challenge and also keeping up with mothers around birthing time. Trains the healers and serves as their direct supervisor. Can block steals.
Envoy
The head diplomat in Iromar. Skilled in matters of politics and conversation. Intelligent and witty, this wolf keeps the pack together as one while reaching out to potential allies for support. Council is their direct supervisor. Trains the diplomats and serves as their direct supervisor. Can block steals.
Governess
The guardian of offspring in Iromar. Skilled as a warrior and alert as a scout, this wolf is tasked with probably one of the most important jobs in Iromar, protecting the future of the pack and Moladian. They can watch the litter while the parents are off doing tasks, hunting, or just enjoying some quiet time. Can serve as guides for the pups, like having a full time guardian. Trains the teachers and serves as their direct supervisor. Can block steals.
Snoop
The head spy in Iromar. Skilled in maneuverability and blending in, this wolf must be a shadow when called upon. Tasked with finding out information about other packs or wolves when called upon, this wolf must be quick as well as witty, able to make anyone believe anything. Also serves as a thief when the need arises. Trains the spies and serves as their direct supervisor. Can block steals.
Chronicler
The head story teller of Iromar. This wolf has done their research on all things Iromar and Moladian. They can give a good history lesson or spin a tale on demand when the younger minds call for distraction. Able to captivate an audience. May even help with speeches for the Monarch when necessary. No one to train but the pups or even adults of Iromar when they have questions or curiosity about the past. This wolf may even be called upon by the Council at times. Can block steals.
Soothsayer
The seer of Iromar. This is a special rank made specifically for a wolf with "the sight." Consider her an advisor/spy of sorts for the alpha and rest of the pack. She/he can gather intel from outside or supernatural forces. You don't have to believe in the magic of this ability for any wolf with this rank will be respected as a ranked member of the pack. Can block steals.
