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

Ten - Mistletoe's Beloved - Glorall
Father of Levi, Enya, and Ravenna

It would be clear to those who paid much attention that Tuari and Levi are both offended by the brusque manner in which Warlow states that his son should protect his imprint better. Although that was not among the direct words that he said, Warlow's intent was very clear. In his mind an imprint should be the protector and provider for the other; he wasn't even aware that his own sister had her own imprint that she had only seen twice in the last few years. It is in his nature to love so fully and be so devoted that Warlow cannot, perhaps, see past his own masochistic manners. To him the whole thing was clear cut and had no room for doubt. His yellow eyes watch as her fur begins to stand on end and the way her ears flick back. He half expects her to holler at him because Warlow can see the look of consternation upon her face yet she remains quiet with the exception of a snort.

Blinking in a slight bewilderment - because why would she be offended? - he glances over to catch the end of the glare that Levi was giving him before his son states that she was capable of taking care of herself. This earns him a dismayed look as Warlow's tail flicks across the back of his legs in a slight agitation because his soul longs to have Mistletoe by his side. Warlow never could quite understand his children like their mother did. She was the only thing that tamed his soul and perhaps the children might think it unfair, cruel even, but Warlow was built like that. It was a fact of nature and nature cannot be controlled for it goes where it wills. If something ever happened to his mate... the results would fracture him.

Yet the conversation has sped onward to the reason his son had left the seaside pack and Warlow understands. There was always a fierce need to direction in Warlow yet it seems with Levi he was born with the path. He knew where he was going in life and nothing would stand in his way. It was eye opening to watch as his small, runt son had grown into an adult with such dedication and passion. So very much the opposite as well as similar to his father.

That is why Warlow has to forewarn the youngsters of impending problems should they let their horomones consume them. For such an instinctive creature as Warlow, battling that instinct was difficult himself, and sometimes Mistletoe whispered of longing. Longing for another set of pups to suckle her teets and chew on her legs, and Warlow wasn't certain about that because he remembered how painful the birth had been and how drained she had been.

On this subject he will not relent until he knows certainties. As Levi's fur spikes so does Warlow's, creating the illusion that the already stocky male seemingly grows in front of their eyes for his fur is thick and coarse. He catches the silent "hey" that Tuari mouths in her own shock and agitation. Well of course they would be embarrassed, but it was his duty to make sure they did what was right and just. A thick ear flicks back in response to Levi's curt tone. Grayson and Ravenna? "You need not worry about them, I'm keeping an eye on them," Warlow growls suddenly, the idea of that male touching his daughter in such a manner suddenly infuriating.

The narrowed gaze of Warlow is enough to let Levi know that he is not fooled by the change in subject. That his father would revisit the subject at a later date, but by now he is curious about the muteness of his son's imprint, his eyes settling upon her before jumping to a cream and brown figure that breaks into their midst. He remembers him clearly and although they had not chosen to stay in the woodlands, it had nothing to do with the kindness of their protector. He dips his maw in acknowledgement, though he is not as flashy with smiles as his sister was. "You are not," he rumbles even though he glances at Levi with a look that said soon! He waits for his son to tell the leader his name. "My son was coming in hopes that he could stay with you while he trains and grows. My family seems to like the woodlands, for I believe my sister Natu has come to live here as well."

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 ...
