Get with me if you want to move up in rank. I'm going to change up the pack tasks for a little change of pace.
Congratulations to Adrian on her promotion to Governess. She will handle the guidance and teaching of our young pups in Iromar.
If you have a ^ next to your name, that means you're up for promotion so see me or send me a message on Discord so we can see where to move you. All others interested in specializing or getting a rank, let me know so we can figure out how to make that happen.
The pack board has been updated. If you wanted to remain a member, let me know either on here or Discord and I'll get you back on the board. Otherwise, let's have a thread!
I know I had a couple replies for the training with Spirane so I will be starting that thread soon. Stay tuned!
I am still working on an alliance with Diveen and Asteraia so stay tuned. If you have any information or would like to help, please let me know. If anyone has any ideas to promote activity within the pack, also, let me know. I am open for plots and such! Meanwhile, thank you all for your continued support of the pack.

I've kept in the loop when it comes to the politics of the other pack lands. There has been much unrest and it hasn't given up just yet. A wolf named Covet started something in Diveen, dethroning the long reign of Isola and Kane. Meanwhile Jaidah was dethroned from Asteraia by a mysterious wolf with scars. Jaidah went after Taviora and was met with defeat from Amoxtli and Covet went after Spirane but Daenerys beat him back. Covet was killed before he could battle for Diveen and now Jaidah fights once more for Asteraia against the infamous Tobias, the killer of so many. I don't know where her loyal followers have gone, whether they wait in the free lands for her to win a pack or if they've stayed behind in Asteraia, secretly waiting for her return to power. Only time will tell.
Until then, I am a warrior above all else. I keep in the know but it doesn't mean I have to be involved. Besides, Aithne is much better at it anyway. When I first catch the whiff of antoher wolf on the borders, I pause and look toward the perfume, trying to locate the source. I can only pick up a light scent of Diveen like the wolf was once there but isn't no longer. Other than that, I can't smell another pack on the wolf since she hasn't been in Asteraia in so long. Perhaps a loner now then? Perhaps a new recruit, is my first thought. It's not really my job to bring more wolves into Asteraia but I certainly won't turn awa a worthy wolf so I set my sights high and offer a faint wag of my tag. I've never been good at the whole friendly thing. I'm usually more like Aithne's guard dog, someone to stand at her side and growl in the right places, hackles up and look mean.
When I do spot the white wolf, I see that I'm larger but size is not something I think of as an advantage either. I'm not the largest wolf in Moladian either but I still know how to use agility, speed, and logic to win a fight. I once beat Aithne herself while trying out for the Stygian position under Andras. She's bigger than me, more of a warrior in build but I managed to outmaneuver her and it won me the position. I do not know anything about this wolf, of her intentions or her history but I see that she has confidence in her stride and I prick my ears, giving her my full attention with bright pumpkin orange eyes. She seems to hesitate before approaching, tilting her head in curiosity and I offer another slight wag of my tail, my body seemingly relaxed but I don't think I've ever been fully relaxed in my whole life. My muscles are always coiled and waiting to spring. I'm not one to trust easily.
At first the female seems friendly so I speak first. "Hi, welcome to Iromar. How can I help you?" I figure that's as good a greeting as any, taking a short step toward her. She starts jogging toward me and instinctively I tense, not sure why she wouldn't be approaching at a walk if she means to talk. When is someone in that much of a hurry to get in close? Her ears are back and she looks every bit submissive but my hunch is that something isn't right. But once she's close, her ears flatten completely and she curls her lips back, her back legs coiled to spring and I react smoothly, widening my stance and lowering my front end to the ground, my own hindquarters coiled as my hackles rise and my lips curl back in return.
Even as she lunges at the side of my neck, I bring my whole body down to the ground at the last minute, her jaws snapping right above my head before I reach upward, bringing my own jaws to meet with the bottom of her lower jaw. If I meet true, I'll immediately latch onto the mandible and shake to try to break her jaw before using my hold on it to then pull her down to the ground beneath me.
