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

I see a shadow jump out behind the three wolves before me and at first, my skin shudders, thinking this another predator here to wreak havoc on Taviora. But then his scent reaches me and my tail flicks in relief to see a pack member has heard my call. I do not recognize him by name but Iknow him by scent and as long as he is from Taviora, he is a sight for sore eyes and a brother to me. I can tell he is here to defend his home and that is satisfactory as well. I hear his command and my ears flatten to my skull, watching the three wolves, mostly the red and white female, the angry mother here to avenge her fallen son. I have a feeling they aren't going to leave without a fight. I see another flicker of motion and my head snaps up. This wolf I recognize as Reian, the war shield of Taviora. I will admit I'm happy to see her as back up. Surely she didn't get the rank by just sitting there looking pretty. She seems to be right down to business, not even worrying with words as she bursts onto the scene and takes everything in with a keen eye. I can see the recognition in her eyes when she sees Tobias. They don't see what I see, that the catalyst for this is not in the black male out for blood but for the female leading him this night. The angry mother is the main show but everyone only sees the monster she brought with her.

Of course Reian must see something for she runs at the red and white female, aiming for her neck and my eyes widen slightly, wondering if she'll reach her target. The moment the red and white female sees me, her eyes flash and her tail is a whip lashing at her flanks. I know by the look of pure loathing in her eyes that I am indeed the one she is searching for. At Reian's attack, the female shows a grace I wouldn't have thought of her savage looking body. She spins neatly away from Reian's jaws, looking to Tobias as if full expecting him to do something about her before she turns her own seething eyes on me. As she launches forward, I'm on the move as well, circling rather than running straight away though. I am no coward and if anything, I'm interested to see this fight through to the last. I have not just one but three killers here today, what a better way to do my research on them? As she snaps at my back legs, I jerk it up but not quite quick enough, feeling the graze of her canines on both sides of my hock. She crushes my toes briefly before I clear her mouth but I feel it the minute I put my foot back on the ground. I clench my jaw, holding back the yelp as the adrenaline floods my system. I'll probably be sore but I'm still able so I turn my eyes on the rest of the battle.

She continues to go at my leg so for the time, I am distracted, determined to stay out of her grasp. She gets close a few times but this time I'm ready for it so I dance and jump and dodge, whatever I can to keep my precious toes and bones out of her grasp. The moment I gain some ground, I spin around and launch at her chest, aiming to wrap my fore legs around her neck and lift her off the ground with me after our collision, using both of our momentum to bring us up so I can snap at the side of her neck just behind her jaw, keeping my head constantly on the move so it'll be harder for her to bite me in my face. My father gave me strength in my build and my mother gave me stamina so I'm certainly no weakling in a face to face fight and I don't like feeling like the rabbit running from the other end of the jaws. I'd rather be meeting them with my own. Out of the corner of my eyes, I see Tobias going after Reian but I have faith in her to handle her own. I just wonder who the black and silver female will choose to help. Will she go after Levi? She confirms my suspicions when I see her charge him and I cringe inwardly for him, hoping he's a good fighter as well. i can't make out what happens just yet when they meet but soon after I see her racing to help Tobias with Reian and I clench my jaw, wanting to warn her but afraid I'll just leave myself open to the raging red and white female attacking me if I do. I have to trust that they'll defend themselves, that the pack will send reinforcements to send them running.

That saving grace comes in the form of my brother, Amoxtli. I am relieved to see him but this is no time for brothering greetings, my eyes flashing to see him going to help Reian before I turn my attention back on the red and white female. I focus just as much on dodging and defending myself as I do attacking but while I don't really aim to kill her, I do want her gone from Taviora.

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 ...
