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.

restless: i found your weakness
There was little to say on the departure of Ishtar - for what it was worth, she had liked the woman and her tenacity. Part of her even hoped that she would see the return of the woman, for a strong female lead was something Moladion seemed to certainly lack. Now, Andras and his Lillith had taken the throne though that was hardly a surprise; had they not dominated the upper ranks since their arrival? If she had even a thought of reclaiming Iromar in Ishtar's absence, then surely they deterred her well and truly. She had not forgotten their fighting during the war, where they became more one than separate. Besides, she had her own stresses to worry over rather than the stresses over an entire pack - she had not only Wraith's departure to Taviora to fret over, but Istas' insistence on going for long strolls through the free lands without her and Paldor's insistence on hiding away with his bastard poppy seeds and crooked tail. He claimed the injury still hurt, an ache that would not heal, and yet she couldn't bring herself to entirely believe him.
There was the... other matter, too, that had come to bother not only her but Andras additionally. The disappearance of Chernobyl during the change had not gone unnoticed, particularly when she had not so long ago been the largest threat to Ruvindra reclaiming any rank. The job of finding her had fallen to her, though she had some clues on where to begin: the male that had fathered her children had been Diveen through and through, a musk she did not forget on the borders of Iromar all those years ago. Though she did not understand the cultural connotation behind the need to find the female, she understood clear enough: deserters were to be shot on sight. Even she had to agree with that sentiment. If they were not with them, then they fast fell against them; just look at Vague, he had become a prime example. The thought of him was dismissed however, shoved away and out of mind. She had another thing to captivate her attention - the little prize she had swept up from the free lands.
How could she have gone unnoticed? Any wolf that did what others were so afraid to do certainly caught the winds of gossip fast enough. Such a thing made it easy enough to find her, and it had taken even less time for Ruvindra to decide to meet with her. After all, they seemed to hold a common interest, and she often found ambitious women most delightful company. Jaidah, Fatality, they had all been wondrous, so perhaps Purge would be too.
She had taken to patrolling the borders in anticipation, stalking through the marshes on long, awkward strides. The flood had yet to dissipate, leaving the swamps an obnoxious mess of stagnant water and pests. She almost felt bad for having Purge meet her in such a place, though she had no objections to going elsewhere if the female so desired. After all, this was a mission to make kindly interactions with the girl, nothing more and nothing less. They would operate on Purge's turn. With such a thought on her mind, she saw the pale figure cross over the borders in the distance; the scent was unmistakable, one that had littered the outskirts of Diveen with Kane's blood intermingled. It was just a shame that it was such a pain to get to her quickly, what with the mud and reeds ensuring she could hardly move at a trot. Eventually, though, she arrived, ensuring she approached from head on, her lips pulled back into a warm, welcoming smile. The girl was a monster, certainly matching the sheer size and power of Andras - it was admirable, even if Ruvindra herself had always favored speed.
"My apologies for the condition of our pack lands. As much as we try, we cannot fight mother nature."
She dipped her head into a brief bow of respect, maintaining a neutral stance as she stood some ten feet away, perched up on a miserable attempt of dry land. If she could read the woman's mind, she'd certainly agree. There was nothing worst than feeling and looking like a disgrace - her legs were stained a green-brown, her chest flecked with the same hue and her tail tipped following suite all the same. She wanted to dip herself in clean water and not emerge for a week. Plus, nobody wanted to meet with another when they looked as disgraceful as the swamp - she grimaced at the realisation.
"You must be wondering why I've brought you here? I shall begin with the formalities. I am Ruvindra, and this is Iromar, ruled by Andras and his mate, Lillith. As for my desire to meet with you? It is a simple thing. I here of your exploits, and how you came so close to defeating Kane."
She paused, a brow cocked as her lips parted into a more toothy, bemused grin.
"We share a common foe, you and this pack. I must offer whatever assistance we can provide - tell me, have you mused on attempting once more?"
Or several more times. Whatever it took, she figured, to bring equality to Moladion.
