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

Perhaps it is that Suomi finds disdain in the simple words I have to offer and truly should she have preferred an entire speech on how better to assist her cause then I would be content to offer one and yet, simple words are easier, single things simpler and so I offer only that single sentence at first. Form and body say so much and the tense, tight hold to her own offers to her both a look of nervousness and insecurity. If she is the lead then she should sit and stand as a leader does, without hesitation in her assurance. Perhaps some things do not come so naturally to her as they do to myself. I cannot help what I am, I cannot help that I was born Prince of Diveen, that I was born to have others look to myself to lead and as such, in some form perhaps, I have become comfortable in such a thing. I hold not fear of such a gathering, am assured that the children of this land are not as the adults, at least, not yet and indeed in this manner I simply given to offer Suomi what it is she perhaps cannot say or understand. I simply offer…..a calmness, my lips given to lift in to a gentle smile of amusement as she moved deliberately away from the small touch I offered, eyes of violet blue resting gently upon her own as I simply turned away, offering her little more then my explanation of help. She is my age perhaps, yet she is young still and I will not bore her mind with words that will only be wasted on someone not yet ready to listen. I am old before my time, so many say this and yet perhaps there is some use in such a thing.

The next to arrive is a girl of shadow and red, the scent of Iromar thick upon her as nervous energy leaks from her frame and she lingers within the trees, eyes given to flick from myself to my companion and back again though it is with evident disdain that they rest upon myself and indeed my chest is given to clench slightly at the fear within her. Perhaps it is merely my size that offends her so, the blood of my sire and grandsire one of height and muscle that has been refined only within myself by the grace of my mothers blood and indeed perhaps, I am thankful for that, for truly I have no desire to be even this size let alone what may have been without the touch of the my Mothers lighter form. It is in that moment however, as Suomi speaks that I am given to lift to my paws so large and wander with a silent ease towards the dark one, Siren, moving to lower my form so very large and towering until it is I rest near upon my belly before her, bringing myself to her height and allowing her to meet my gaze as an equal.

“We are all only wolves, as Sumi says, please, Siren, do not believe the things you have heard, the thoughts of the many are not the thoughts of all. I am Solaris, once I was Prince of Diveen- but I chose to make up my own mind about what it was I thought. I see no Angels, or no Demons, I see only wolf and I hope indeed, that you will too. It is a lovely thing to meet you.”

I nodded once more, softly, gently, opalescent eyes held against her own as a smile touched my lips and I rose once more, moving to wander back to Suomi as another came, his scent one strongly of Diveen and one I knew so well. Emry- my cousin so dark. The words he offered Siren were….less then pleasing and indeed I offered a small frown of sorts in momentary display of my disdain for that before moving to allow him this gesture in return. It is our way and though indeed I no longer identify with such a bloodline, I am forever and always, born of Diveen and such a greeting has become as much a symbol of that land as of Angels themselves and it would be impolite I feel, to not offer it in return, my muzzle held to his own in this brief touch before he moved to Sumoi, his words…unusual, my head tilted slightly, though any thought on this was disregarded at the arrival of another, a dark wolf once more, one the scented strongly of Glorall and yet within it there was another scent most familiar. Cersei. My head was given simply to nod to her in greeting, respecting her choice to remain silent for now as I once more moved to my paws to avoid the crash and tumble of Romain as he came and my own lips were given to quirk upward. He is most ungainly think, though perhaps in time he will grow past this, my form moving to pass close to Maradonna as it was I offered space to my pack mate, allowing him to find his feet once more as his childish excitement grew. Perhaps……this is innocence, perhaps this is what I have always lacked, the wonderment and joy this boy finds so readily. What it must be like to be so free of burden I cannot say and yet, to hold responsibility and purpose, to have place and meaning within a pack is something more to myself and yet, perhaps in time he too will find a place for such energy. To see what is good in others was always the way of my Mother and though I try, it is that I fear I may never be as she and her benevolence. For all I look….the more I see…..the more I wonder at how I will do what needs to be done, how I will ever change the minds of so many and yet perhaps….this night is a start to something more. For a moment my attention returned briefly to Maradonna, now that I stood closer to she.

“I am Solaris, of Taviora.”

It is a simply greeting, easy and nothing more as it would seem she desires, attention returned to Roamin as he asked after Emry and compared him to the trees, lips parting to speak when Sumoi spoke once more, speaking towards my own broad form as I simply nodded.

“If that is what you need from me, so be it.”

I saw more than one powerfully built wolf here and yet I allow that comment to slide once more, already aware of this…displeasure between my pack mate and my cousin though I did not yet know enough to understand of it and indeed unless it should become spiteful I see no need to interfere. The dry taste to her words snapped at Roamin however I am given to find….un-needed. He is of our pack and to show contempt within our own ranks in front of those of other packs is…displeasing. The barest hint of a growl rested within the depths of my throat as I moved towards Sumoi once more. Perhaps she is leader tonight and I will respect her in this, she is a good wolf, there are many things about her so very great within themselves and indeed, in time, I am sure she will rise, yet her temper is hot and to show anything but unity in this moment is not acceptable. She may be leader tonight- but I outrank her and though I seek not to use such a thing I am content to lower my muzzle to her ear in this moment as I pass, words whispered to her alone for I will not speak an criticism aloud at her own event this night. I am not such a creature as that.

“Roamin is of this pack, we should not show disharmony in front of guests, not in any form. He has much to offer, look past what you see. He has speed and energy, use it, do not silence him. You are doing well.”

I simply slide past her now, seating myself once more before a presence was felt at my side as I sat, Eden emerging from shadow to seat his grey and white form beside my own, his words slipped so coolly from his lips, as is always his way towards the one whom calls herself Lavender, my own head inclined in a nod of greeting to her.

“I am Solaris and no- you are not late.”


I speak only after Eden has spoken, allowing her chance to answer his question if she should desire it though indeed it seems a barbed thing in itself. Eden often speaks as this and indeed I do not find fault with it, his mind is curious, he alone I am sure is not as the others and yet perhaps this night will reveal to me another whom may be worthy of joining us in what is to come. I spoke once more, in the latina now and to Eden alone as my eyes continued to rest upon each wolf, ears held forward to capture there words, prepared to move forward and offer my presence should it be needed and yet content indeed to allow Suomi her moment.

“Hic aliquis eorum aliter sentis?”
(Do you feel any of those here are.....different?)

He would know what I mean, words barely a whisper for he alone for in Eden’s judgement I hold a trust I do not offer another.

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 ...
