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

YOU'RE STANDING IN YOUR GRAVE [birthing & open]

The past Winter had been pleasant enough for Rhae and her family. Granted, the life of a loner was never easy- especialy with more than one mouth to feed, but the tall pale wolf was not one to ever complain. She adored her life, adored her family- adored her beloved and her children all the same. She would not have things any other way and would not trade them for anything. It was so different than anything she had ever expected that it still to this day caught her off guard. She has known Iblis well over a year now, almost two, and it is quite possible that it will never get old to her. Each time her bright, ever brilliant teal gaze finds his features, the warmth within her chest blossoms anew and it takes all of her self control not to throw herself at him, then and there. It was only slightly strange to her now, the want to always be with him, the want to always be near him and to touch him. It had been long since she'd learned of the art of imprinting, and just what Iblis was to her. Her soul. Her beloved. Her other half.

And yet now, now that she was so close to that precarious edge she stood upon, she knew it was time. While they ultimately found their sanction within the thick woodland of Moladion- there was a place she knew she could go. There was warmth there she knew, safety, food- protection. Anything an expecting Mother might need. It was not far and thus did not take her long. And while approaching any other territory- beside Iromar when she had gone to rescue Iblis- she would have stopped and waited to be invited in or accepted if seeking a home, when she found the border of Taviora she kept walking. For Rhae shared a special bond with the pack, as did her mate and soul. They were allies, comrades- and though not true members, they were welcome just as any packmember was welcome with them. This was the place her newest children would be born- a place of beauty, of green and fresh spring shoots. It was beautiful, this place, and though Iblis had spoken of it often- he did not give it justice.

There was something magical within the forest that towered overhead. It reminded Rhae so much of their familys little home that there was a moment of clarity that this was, is, and should be their home. But the tall creme and chocolate marked wolf knew better than that. Her Iblis was a nomad, a loner- even if constantly accompanying of herself was almost uncharacteristic of him. Granted he often went out on his own, for hunts and for simple leisure, but he always returned to her. And she would always be waiting for him. Except for today. Today was a day she needed to make herself comfortable for it would be all too soon that new life would be joining her. She is only slightly caught off guard when a familiar pull is beginning deep within her groin. It has begun, and she must act quickly. She was now within the heart of Taviora, and could not have chosen a better area.

It was mid morning, the warm spring sun warming up the fresh vivid green foliage currently surrounding Rhae. It was peaceful, tranquil, this Taviora, and the wolf found herself enjoying the place more and more. When her strong senses picked up the faintest whiff of fox, she followed immediately and was rewarded after a time to find a fox den. The scent was so old that Rhae knew that none currently inhabited it, and it would do well for her makeshift birthing den. She could always move herself and the pups somewhere else in the future, if needed, but for now, this would do. After all, the contractions were more frequent now, and her time was soon nearing. Unlike her mate who could so easily slip inside the entrance to the den- Rhae's larger frame made it so that she could not. Setting to work, massive creme paws move to shovel dirt away from the entrance and digging it out a bit, allowing the hole to accomodate her.

When she was satisfied, she pushed forward and wiggled her way in. It was a tight fit, but that simply meant that other, larger predators would not be able to find their own way in. And if they did- well, they would simply have hell to pay for it. Inside the den was more than she could have hoped for. Dry and even rather soft grass line the floor of the den, and while the outside was small- the inside was rather large with more than one room to offer. Making her way to the furthest corners of the den, where it was dim and even a bit warm, Rhae wasted no time in reclining and relaxing herself. Her lovely and graceful creme and chocolate painted jaw was parted, her long pink tongue lolling out to the side. Breathing came as heavy pants to her, and it was not long before she strained herself a bit. And it was easy as that.

Unlike her first litter, which had been quite easy thanks to the pups being rather small- but this first one was only a tad larger. It took a bit of effort, but soon the child was in the world for the first time. Unlike her first son who made no noise- this little tyke had quite the vocals on him when he cried out and she was immediately responsive to him. Leaning down, she licked and groomed him squeaky clean until the creme, russet, and chocolate of his pelt was all too obvious. He was perfect, a combination of Iblis and Rhae, of heart and soul- like Cae, but in his own special way. And though his eyes were closed, the Mother could not wait until she could see what might gaze upon her one day. For if he was so beautifully coloured- the soul to soon gaze up upon her could only match perfectly.

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 ...
