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

Return to Lunar Children
the wastes of my heart
IP: 108.245.133.46


And the light shineth in the darkness;
................... and the darkness apprehended it not. *John 1:5*



It is weird to have someone feel sorry on her behalf. She didn't seek pity. It was almost strange that he offered it. To her life in Diveen just was what it was. True most of her family lived there yet they all kept to themselves for the most part. Amoxtli must understand what it is like to compare himself so much to his family as she did hers. The Angel bloodline was said to be pure and the traits that came from such nobility were not as inherited as one might think. Achilles was the eldest and as such held to a high standard. She hadn't actually met him but from a distance he had seemed to epitomize such standards. Calliel tried so hard to be a fighter. She certainly had a fighting spirit. Shiloh's spirit was not really towards fighting although a secret fury burned within her at the thought of those who would harm the ones closest to her. As joking and mild-mannered as she might seem now Shiloh might well become a demon in a fight if she ever was drawn into one.

She casts her head towards him with a uncertain smile. It feels awkward to have him comment on this. She does not want Amoxtli to think her stupid or childish. They are both young and for this such ideals are the driving force of attentions. To belief that one must be perfect in the eyes of another to be desirable. To impress with things not normally impressed upon rather than let nature take its course. Time would change such views but for now she tries to gather her thoughts and decide on how to answer his comments.

"They are a busy lot," she says slowly, ears flicking around as if to catch the sounds of the forest when in reality she is nervous. With a simple switch in conversation Amoxtli has become the dominant and she has become the nervous one. But again he becomes shy. It relaxes her suddenly tense muscles and eases the strain of her smile into one of amusement. How endearing he is. So very handsome too. Wait. They were going to see his father. Coza might not take to her if she comes all googly eyed after his son on their first meeting. Would he think she seeks to steal the crown by use of his son? After all she has been explaining the matters of princes and princesses!

Her mind races ahead of her, panicking until she realizes that her tail has fallen and her attention has turned inward. Swiftly she grouches at herself - inwardly of course - and turns bright eyes once more to Amo. She'd make a good first impression. It looked like Amo was having inward thoughts too as he first smiled - what a smile! - and then began to shake his head as if stunned to have spoken of such things. Was it a bad thing to talk of his family?

It seems Amo has had little thought on what he desires to do in his life but it is nothing to worry about. He is a prince of a small family; here he is happy. She had not been very... happy.. in Diveen and such is why her mind had turned to things such as hierarchy. Goals to accomplish that would set alight her own happiness. If only she had known meeting Amo might have started such a chain reaction. "Well, do you want to be a prince all your life or something else?" She grins now, sidestepping so that her shoulder bumps into his in a teasing manner before falling back away from him. It wasn't to make him feel bad about himself, it was a real true question.

"I... wasn't very active in life in Diveen either so I doubt I know of your other siblings. I've got more than enough of my own to deal with." The last is a half-twist downward of her mouth. That was one thing she disliked. Mom and father had too many children. She didn't much like half of the four she had met so far. Solaris was okay; he taught her stuff and didn't talk down to her. Haziel was by far her favorite - blind though he was she felt a connection with him. Calliel was a bit too full of herself for Shiloh's liking and Forfax a bit too withdrawn and reserved.

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 ...
