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

raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens


It couldn't have been described as anything but a collision of the universes, like two stars colliding in the darkness of the sky, exploding into a billion peices and then creating new worlds from all the skattered materials. New life. Everchime had known since the day that she had met her quiet shadow that she would be forever his. Even though in the beginning she had thought to take Pan as her mate back in Glorall it had all changed when she had sat down under that willow tree in the Susil Crags, when her pumpkin spice eyes had met with his sole orb of orange. She lays at the entrance of their den, a small thing but all the better for she didn't want to be to far from her beloved Shadow at this moment, thinking about the day they had met, about how the air had smelled uniquly fresh and... different, but she had embraced the difference and stayed where she was. Everchime has always and will always be a very softly spoken but energetic creature, always finding something new to be awe-inspiring even if it was not new to someone else.

She rolls onto her side, the healer Sen had done an amazing job on her belly and though she'd been apprehensive of letting anyone see it at first she knew that she had to get it all looked at, her paw lifting slightly to place it on the snout of Vidar who waited on the other side of the den hole. A smile tugging at the corners of her mouth, even through all that had happened to her in the past season she was more than grateful to be back within sight of her Shadow, and even more so now with the heaving of her sides. They had grown so big over the past few weeks that she wasn't sure if she was going to have a few big pups like her mother had with her last pair of siblings she'd seen before she'd left all those years ago, or if she was going to have a large litter of small pups. She hoped that they could have as many pups together as they wanted, and boy did she want her share of pups. But we know that not all stories come out cinderella style and that this would be her one and only litter of pups. Even so, she would cherish them like the little cherubs she knew they would one day become.

"I can feel them Vidar," she speaks softly to him, her head laying on the ground as she motioned for him to come listen to her swollen side, she looked like a stay puff marshmellow man really, so tiny before but now she was fed well and had healed. Though the damange to her insides couldn't be healed properly and the result would be a hard birth and this being her first and only litter of pups. She doesn't know this, only revels in the moment. She finds comfort in his silence but she knows that she will help him regain his speech just as she had before, she would help him become more than he'd ever hoped to be, just as long as he wanted to. She could never force another to do something they didn't want. One of the pups inside kicked hard against her side and though it was sharper than normal she still giggled softly. "I hope it is Sen who comes, he is a very nice wolf Vidar, very nice indeed" a yawn escapes her lips, pulling them back wide to show off the flash of white teeth under pink skin.

With this last comment she felt her eyes grow steadily heavier in the warmth of the sun, today was a beautiful day for a birthing, the warmth of the spring sun washed over her face and shoulders, she decided it was as good a time as ever to have a light rest before getting up to find some water to quench her thirst. Vidar could bring her anything she so desired but water was a little harder for a wolf to carry, it wasn't more than a few minuets into her doze that she felt a sharp pain in her side, sharper than the little kick had been moments ago, her pumpkin spice eyes flash open and sharpen slightly as the pain ebbs away slightly only to return moments later. This was her first time but she had witnessed countless other females including her mother give birth so it wasn't an overall shock to her brain, just her swollen sides and all the muscles involved with getting her precious babies free from her womb.

When it all starts it is about noon, the pain is so great that she cries out as the first of the litter starts to make it's way from within. "Vidar..." she says through the waves of pain that wash over her, "it's time!" the last word is almost screamed out, it would take about a full hour just to get the first pup out. After much panting and pushing though a small bundle of adorable softly takes it's place in this world. Though she is tired at this point she pulls herself up to grab the small pup and bring him closer to her, "My Shadow, I believe.. we will need Sen," she says as she sniffs her bottom and knowing that Sen had helped last time would probably be easier to get Vidar to call him, already there is much tearing as this pup had been a fairly big boy. His coat was much like Vidar's in it's darkness with a light tan on the belly and legs. She licks at his fur and cleans him up as best she can before she is forced to lay her head back down as more waves of pain follow.

Another pup makes it's appearence around half an hour later, by this time she is nearly delerious with pain and the smells of blood all around her, though she tries her best not to show it to Vidar and to make him worry for her though she knows that he already does, she can smell another but doesn't move as the smallest of the four come out. She is panting so much that her sides seem on a never ending up and down motion, hopefully Vidar wouldn't be to freaked out and be able to bring the pups to her to clean. She only had a few moments inbetween each set of contractions to clean the pups but they were beautiful, another bout of pain wracks her body and she can feel her toes want to curl upon themselves and she wishes for more rest, already she has been in for what seems like a life time of pain, but the next little bundle was much bigger than either of the first and it took her more than both combined to get the little boy out.

Sides heaving she did what she could inbetween to clean up the pups that Vidar brought her and though she didn't have the energy to open her eyes to see them she knew that each one was large and that they were all alive so far. With the third out of the way she got a bit of a rest in bewteen and almost thought it was the end had a few mins later she got another set of contractions. Her body shivered with exhaustion as she did everything she could to get all her strength that remained into this last pup. He wasn't as large as the last one but it was still a while to get it out. Being tired and over all ready to be done with this portion of life's miracle she took a bit longer for this one than the others and in the end was so exhausted that she didn't even have a chance to clean up the fourth before she passed out. Hopeing beyond hope that she wouldn't have any more come out while under.

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 ...
