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
i’ll be your detonator
IP: 172.0.49.25

everyone wants to save the world, but nobody wants to die...

He had never taken any real thrill in hunting. It was a necessity that he was more than able to handle when his stomach growled to be sated, but his natural speed and stamina didn’t make up for a lack of grace and will to try and take down larger game. Rabbits and squirrels suited him just fine, thank you very much. Still he trotted into Taviora with a bounce in his step that belied his stated nonchalance at the entire affair, or perhaps excited was simply his default state of mind. Either way he felt an exhilaration at once more being beneath the towering trees that dwarfed everything around them, it was easy to see why his sister had taken a shine to the place. For some reason she had always loved the forest, probably because it provided the most shelter or some such, Astrid wasn’t one to like a place for its worthless beauty, but perhaps even she found an affinity for these behemoths.

He detoured for but a moment to go and greet his sister so starkly different from himself, the briefest of knocked shoulders and he even chanced to nudge the side of her face in wishing her good luck before she departed to join the larger hunting group. A moose was nothing to sneeze at, especially two even with so many there to help take it down, hooves and antlers could carve through wolves faster than his claws through the dirt. Still as he watched her white form retreating he noticed movement on a gently sloping hill near where the hunt was slated to start out. Looking closer he noticed that, for the most part, these weren’t full-grown wolves but rather young pups who mostly still had gangly legs and slender tails, their higher pitched barks made his heart leap

Most likely due to being so youthful in nature himself Hollowpoint always found endless joy and entertainment in the company of pups. He had encountered but a few on their travels, but he never missed an opportunity. He bounced lightly on his small feet as he changed course and headed for the group, no doubt they were to watch the hunt and learn valuable skills, etc, but there was no reason he might not add a bit of amusement to the entire affair. He drew close enough to catch the tail end of their conversation, mainly it seemed like it was just introductions but the question of the last small girl made his grin grow just a touch as a playful glint flashed in his two toned eyes.

It was with some dramatic flair that he gathered himself together, exiting the dense forest brush in front of them all. He had some skill for play-acting and portraying animals for the amusement of cubs and others be it the lumbering bear or stealthy puma he could oft fool them into chasing him about and ‘hunting’ him themselves. Perhaps he could win over this crowd today. He had dug around before revealing himself to them, grabbing two crooked branches and brandishing them beneath his clenched teeth as he jumped into their line of sight. He trotted with his black and white head high and the branches as antlers swinging above his head. "They hunt the mighty moose who can squash a full grown wolf with a single hoof,” he said between clenched teeth, high stepping with this dark paws in a mockery of a moose’s gait. "And could scoop you up with their giant antlers.” With those words he dove straight toward the small group of pups before losing his footing before them and tumbling to the ground, branches cracking and scattering as he fell.

He landed in a heap of legs before them, sides heaving with laughter that poured from his dark muzzle. Legs straight in the air he tried to cast them a serious glance, "But they will no doubt vanquish the noble beasts!” He pretended to play dead then, pink tongue lolling out over his teeth, eyes shut and using every ounce of his self-control not to burst out laughing. If nothing else hopefully he had amused them this morning.

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 ...
