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

Though it was no longer Spring, to say the Medicine Wolf of Taviora was not busy was an understatement. Most of the birthings of the season had gone reasonably well, Everchime being the slight exception but Sen himself had seen to that. Often he would visit the new Mothers, bringing small game when he could, advice and his medicinal supplies others. With his own five children to feed, he was a busy wolf, but he managed. He would always manage, simply because he could and he always would.

But today, unlike most days, was one of relaxation. His stores were full, his children warm and fed, tucked away in their den. And Hush; his dear, lovely redheaded bird. She had been quiet as of late, keeping to their home and their children, and while he wanted to draw her out, coax her out even- he knew her inside and out and would give her all the time she needed. All the time she wanted. Things had fallen into place with her in what could be perceived as a not so easy manner, but to Sen it had all been worth while. He would always hold her close, keep her safe- just as he would always do with all their children. But he was not with them today, in his peace and quiet. If he were home, he knew he would never hear the end or Roamin's adventures, or Mireille's way of going on and on and on. Since Reian had finally shown up after they had moved to Taviora, she seemed.. different. The pale wolf couldn't quite place it, but he knew it all the same.

Granted she had been rather odd since the very beginning, but now there was something even more off about her. If off was the correct term. It wasn't that anything was wrong with her- and that was just it. Sen didn't know what it was, if there was anything to know at all. And the two newest, littlest ones- Namira and Calyx. In her own right, Namira was the most adorable and innocent thing Sen had ever set his eyes on. Granted all her children were in their own right- but Namira was even something special in that regard. Calyx was quiet, almost like Reian but even then, no two were ever the same. All his children varied greatly, but he loved them all the same. And along with his own flesh and blood were the very children of Taviora itself. They were family, after all- and that made everyone's children his children. Even Suomi, who had grown so much since she had first found their forest home. She was becoming a fine wolf, and quite the talented hunter. His wandering thoughts bring peace and tranquility to his mind, as well as a lazy and pleased smile. Life was good.

And then he's distracted- not by one thing, but two things. The first is Coza, his voice ringing out true and firm and strong- warm, welcoming and encouraging, as he always is. And then the second- Suomi, confident and melodic in her adolesence, a beautiful song to add to their leaders and his friend. Though he knew it would not be needed- there was a certain unity in adding your voice among your family, and Sen was not one to give up such an opportunity. Pushing his slender frame up from the warm soil he was resting upon, his own sleek muzzle tilted toward the sky, jaws parting with a song of his own. While theirs had been a call, shorter and more crisp, the off white wolf let his voice soar. It was a song for them all- for Coza, for Sumoi, for Hush and their children- Vidar and Everchime, their new children- Alias, Moth- her children, Zeteri- and her children, Solaris, Starfall- the list could go on and on. He had made it his task to know each and every one of them; their names, their lineage, where they come from. Everything that he could.

Even as his voice fades off throughout the trees, the pale wolf is headed in the right direction. He knows just where he is going, and just like he knows the inhabitants- he knows every single nook and cranny Taviora has to offer. He might take on more than he was suppose to, but Sen felt a rather strong sense of protection and duty toward all of Taviora, and especially toward Coza. He would do anything- anything for his friend and leader, and would never hesitate to sacrifice his own well being for the good of them all. It's with a relaxed posture and bright, inquisitive violet irises that he enters the clearing they are in- Coza and Suomi being the only two present for the time being, and he is quick to smile between the two. The lovely morsel at the girls paws has the Medicine Wolf's mouth salivating and his stomach rumbling- it was easy to forget your own meals when you had six others to worry about. But he does not eye it or ask- she is a hunter and it is her meal to have, whether she shares or gives is solely up to her.

Because she is on the way to Coza, in the fact that he came from a similar direction as she, Suomi is greeted as he passes. He knows she does not like it, but- he simply cannot resist. When he's close enough, Sen leans down to drag his tongue from the back of her skull to the front and almost just between the eyes. The result, if he was successful, is an amusing mohawk that her fur creates whenever groomed this way- causing it to stick straight up and give him a nice chuckle. Allowing any retaliation she might seem fit- though he style was more of the eye roll and scowl, he then moved to his dearest and closest friend. Instantly his gaze soften and adoration is more than apparent there, the distance closing quickly before he reached out with a slender touch to embrace Coza in a manner of speaking. Said manner is the art of sliding a muzzle along the shoulder before dipping and tucking it backward- the best hug a wolf can manage. After that was said and done with, no words being needed then, the Medicine Wolf is stepping back to glance between the two, his curiosity and content more than obvious in his demeanor.

"So. What brings the family together this day, mmmn?" His glance to Coza is inquisitive and curious- for while it was never a bad thing to enjoy one anothers company, Sen wondered if there was more to it than that. After all, since he had met the large creme and brown wolf, there had always been a purpose behind everything he, or they, did. For the most part, at least.

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 ...
