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
&& if only I had wings

Posted on August 5, 2014 at 11:37:04 PM by Moth



I've been pacing by the den ever since Amoxtli left to go hunt. I worry for my children, no matter how old they get. I know that injuries will most likely happen and I know that I will be needed. I just want everyone to be okay. I'm not worried about the hunt being successful. I wish them luck, of course, but I'd rather the prey get away if they can come back in one piece. I know that we'll still make it through the winter. We always do.

I've been worrying more than usual. This spring will be my twenty second year on this earth. I know that I'm not as strong as I used to be, not as resilient. My back aches more every day as do my joints. Coza is patient with me as always. He's just now getting into his double digits. I still feel so much older next to him but as long as I know that his heart is mine, I keep telling myself that I'm young. My soul soars with his no matter how achy I'm feeling.

The minute I smell him, I'm up on my feet and running toward him. I see another helping him and I prick my ears in curiosity. I know of this Shiloh, a daughter of Kane and Isola of Diveen and a welcome addition to any pack. Her and Amoxtli seem close and I can't help but wonder if romance is in the air. Of course that's none of my business but I like knowing about my children and their pursuits, whether it be goals in life or who they're crushing on. I've never met her before so I look forward to it, though I'd rather it be on better terms than this. I hear Zeteri's call for the pack but my main goal is getting to my son to tend his wounds. Food can wait.

I hear his whine and I whine in return as I get closer. He's sitting off by himself and I can see from here that his shoulder and leg are the worse off. Looking at Shiloh, I note a place by her eye that I should have a look at. I can see that Sen is close but I'd like to tend to my son myself. It's just a mother thing. I also cna hear a wheeze in Shiloh's breathing. She must have been hit near her chest. I frown in worry for her. Lung damage can be a really bad thing. I see her licking at Amoxtli's wounds and I feel warm inside to see someone caring for him like he deserves. She coughs and shakes her head, apologizing for him getting hurt. My ears flicker. She seems like a nice girl.

I hear him stuttering his words, saying that she shouldn't apologize and I can't help but smile through the worry. He cares about her. I can see it on his scattered features. He licks at his wounds before licking at hers and I feel my heart growing. I stop near them and clear my throat so they know I'm here. I'd hate to sneak up on them while they're having a moment. I put my pack down on the ground and nudge some herbs over to Shiloh.

"There are for your breathing, dear. Chew the roots slowly and take slow breaths until they take effect. The pain should numb and you'll be able to breath a little better. I gave you extra so you can take some every few hours for pain until the bruising heals."

Giving her a warm smile, I then turn to Amoxtli and nuzzle his forehead softly.

"You got yourself hurt playing the knight, my son."

Giving him a subtle wink, I crunch my paw down on some lavender, letting the soothing scent fill the air before I grab some other stuff.

"Now relax and let me tend to your wounds. Eat some of those poppy seed so it doesn't hurt so much."

Waiting a few minutes for him to do so, I start my work of cleaning and disinfecting the wounds.

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 ...
