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

|no matter what we breed|

The need to pace seems to consume her and it takes all of her carefully crafted control to keep from doing so. What if the alpha showed up and decided she was too restless of spirit? That she wasn't worthy of whatever she might choose to be? A first impression is always the most memorable. Plus it told a lot about the other wolf - like Magnus. He was just a rude brute. But she had met others with kinder dispositions. Still she had very few she actually called friends. Like Aviias and Nogitsune (although many might frown on her friendship with the Iromar Prince). They were like three amigos and a constant source of pride for Shiloh. She had left Aviias back in Diveen simply because it might be too early for her to travel and she wasn't certain of her reception here as of yet. It would be foolish to drag her friend with her into unknown borders, ally or not, with her healing wounds.

But it looked as if Aviias had made the choice for her. About the time that she heard someone crashing through the forest from within the borders another figure barreled straight into her. Shiloh jerked to the side with ears pinned back and teeth flashing. Had someone tracked her and planned to sneak up on her? Aviias had done a clever job keeping silent behind Shiloh although perhaps the princess had been a bit busy pondering her new home situation. She was on the verge of assaulting the poor wolf (no one attacked her!) when she looked down to see Aviias on her back staring up her. It was comical really.

Immediately her lips came down and ears pricked as she cocked her head when Aviias spoke. Then she grinned. Who wouldn't find Aviias' funny? Where Shiloh had worked so hard to become smooth and graceful with her deformed paw Aviias was comically clumsy with her own deformity. Maybe that was why they got along so well. She frowned, however, when she noticed the blood seeping from her re-opened wound and leaned over to lick it as Aviias climbed to her feet. "Alrighty but we are getting that cleaned up as soon as possible again. You might get an infection," she chastised gently before her head snapped around as a boys voice hollered out.

She sees the youth curling up near a tree and by the way he groans she almost immediately knows he hit the tree before he grumbles about them. It is rude to step over one's borders but she does so anyways as a feeling of intense sympathy weaves through her for Heimdallr. In a way he reminds her of Nogitsune although her Prince is not quite as shy? as the pup as he curls himself up and tries to hide his face while demanding to know who she is. It strikes her as odd that he does not look at her to decide anything - had someone scared him enough that he would both try to demand answers and hide from them?

"I am..." She started but fell silent as another figure padded from within towards them. Shiloh does not move back to the border's edge as she had been before but she does lower her head somewhat in respect. No need to start off on bad relations if this is to be her new home. Her eyes slip again to he boy and she has the urge to go nudge him up in comfort just as she had protected Nogitsune from Aviias upon first meeting her - not that the female would harm a hair on anyone's head. So Zeltzin was the Princess here? That was good. She was meeting someone of importance.

Shiloh offers a respectful nod and a friendly smile. It is a good thing, she thinks, that they seem friendly. Well, Zeltzin. Heimdallr was... passive aggressive but she'd eventually figure out why. With Aviias at her back she felt protective for her friend had been through much. She would make sure no one hurt her again. "Hello Zeltzin. I am Shiloh, daughter of Isola and Kane. I have come with my friend, Aviias here, to see about joining your pack. It was time for me to leave my home and try somewhere new."

She turned her gaze to the boy once more with a slight frown. "Are you okay? You didn't hit that tree too hard did you?" She wasn't much of a healer but there were always some protective feelings within her for those that seemed younger or more prone to innocence - like Aviias - than her.

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 ...
