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*



The strength that bolsters him from being in such a familiar place abandons him the moment she teases him about a mock fight. Again Amo turns back into a stuttering, uncertain boy but it only serves to entertain Shiloh. Her lips peel back once more into a wicked grin - she had already assumed he might be unsettled by such a dare. Chances are after today Amoxtli would be a bit exhausted from the lengthy time spent in her company, what with all her teasing and his embarrassment. It was so refreshing though. Her brother, Forfax had been so full of his own confidence that there really was no fun to be had. Teasing probably wouldn't have gone over very well anyways. Haziel was still an enigma to her, one that she quite liked mind you, but there was no sense of playfulness towards him as of yet. Although he had a sense of a humor when it came time for her to leave his side in Glorall.

Shiloh knew a few phrases in latin although she had never spoken them aloud to her family. They were picked up from listening to Isola and Kane and it never seemed to her a secondary or even a primary language. She had settled for english without a second thought. Her own exuberance at the idea of showing Diveen to Amo seemed to translate in the way he wagged his tail and the excited words that spewed from his maw. In return her own dark tail swished to and fro with the vibrancy of youth. She would show her mother that she had befriended a prince!

Her surprise attack did not go over as planned; she expected Amo to eagerly jump on the bandwagon and assault her back. Hadn't she given enough warning? Then again it seemed almost that Amo was not the kind that really liked the touching of another - after all, they had just met! Still, in her youthful excitement, she had not paused to think about such social boundaries. She had simply acted upon the impulse of her mind. Rather than just follow the flow and let her paws wrap around him the boy twisted and turned and sunk away from her; Shiloh's paws hit the ground with a discernible impact that left a grimace on her maw from the way her twisted paw had, in her haste, landed awkwardly. It was still a trial sometimes to remember that she was not completely 'normal' despite training herself that way.

But it is Amoxtli's splash that draws her attention. It is so ungainly, so abrupt, that she stands for a mute moment while he struggles to rise before her jaw parts and she begins to laugh uproariously. So much so that her haunches hit the ground and she lifts a paw to rub across her face in such a humor. She pauses for a breath, looks up, and sees the shocked expression once more. After his question she bursts out laughing again. It is hard to quell her giggling - really he must think he so rude! Finally able to control herself she grins at him, trying to be charming and recalcitrant at the same time. "I'm sorry Amo but I couldn't help myself. I wanted to see how you reacted to a surprise attack. You are quick!" A little compliment should help calm this down, she thinks, and it is true. He had managed to slip away - not too gracefully but only because of the creek's position - but still, quick enough so she did not complete her task. "I'm sorry," she says again, ears flicking back and her voice almost shy now. Her gaze falls down and only her eyes peek up at him, very puppish.

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 ...
