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

Any words I may well have been given to offer are taken swiftly by the approach of children, young ones, very young. I had known Banshee was a Mother, yet I had never met those she had born, perhaps they are pack yet it is not m place to intrude upon the space of a mother and young, at least, not until it is the say is given to come in which my own young are born. Some part of myself, perhaps, has come to wonder on this prospect. With the approach of my fourth year it cannot be denied that such thoughts are inclined to take hold within my mind, the touch of winter a potent thing indeed and yet beyond that which is instinctive I remain…withdrawn perhaps. I have never yet met another whom I have seen as anything other then a companion, a friend, an acquaintance. I have met many lovely female and yet they stir nothing within myself other then pleasantries. I should not worry for such things I am sure and yet…..Mother found Father before she was even one, as Achilles found Vega and often I am given to wonder perhaps if I have somehow failed to spot She whom I am destined to find. Perhaps I am simply looking within the wrong places and yet, for what I am to do, for what is to come…..a mate….a child- would only be forced to suffer the same rejection that will one day come from my family because of me. Perhaps it is better that I should not worry for such things. I am not so entirely sure I would make the most exceptional of Fathers.

The violet blue of my gaze is given to linger upon Banshee’s pups as they run about myself, the boy told off for such things though I offer little more than a smile in response, content to let the young ones do as they please in these moments, my temper rather even perhaps, despite the heated blood for which my family is famed. Perhaps one day I shall be given to feel that same touch of fire within my veins- though what would bring out such a thing within myself I can hardly say. I know only that an exuberant child shall not be it. I do wonder though, that if this is normal childhood behaviour….why it is I was forever exempt from such childish innocence, my mind forever filled with a determined need to…do what must be done, despite my youth. I knew…always, what was to be done.

“Hello.”

It seemed fitting, for children, though I am not so sure I am being afforded their attention, my lip given to curve upward in a smile all the same, the greeting extended to each one present before it was my own Mother was given to appear, her form seeing my features soften readily, my ears laced backward in a gentle submission to she whom bore me as my muzzle lifted to press against her own in the greeting of our family and our pack. Perhaps I no longer ally with those of Diveen- but I have not forgotten from where I have come. Her words see my head tilt, if even slightly, I had known the news of my Brother, such things having ways of reaching my ears and yet I had not known of the children, nor my status of impending Uncle.

“I will go to see him, when they are born, congratulate him for me, Mother. You are to be a Grandmother then? How you have aged.”

Let it not be said that I cannot jest or tease when the mood should take me, gentle though it is, her own words seeing that grin linger longer upon my lips as I offered little more than a snort, the arrival of Moth given to see my attention waver once more, the elderly wolf one so greatly respected, an ally for so long of Grandfather Heyel and one whom is so honoured in Diveen alone, my head given to dip in a bow of sorts as she addresses Mother and my eyes rest upon a younger boy, one whom comes alone. He is insecure perhaps, or more so…unsure about his presence here- my own form of white and red, so like Isola’s, given to rise now. At this cusp of my fourth year I have finally be given to grow into my frame, paws no longer seem so large, nor legs so gangly, my height a towering thing, my weight so far beyond the females gathered that I am given to feel near clumsy before them, or at least, if not for the grace of my bloodline I would surely be given to wonder at it, striding towards the boy now, muzzle lowered to his own in greeting.

“Ragnar. I am Solaris, what was it you were hoping to learn?”

I am not so entirely sure why, yet I find I….like this one, or more so, I hope that I will.

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 ...
