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

Heaven Help Me

The moment of tension that sprouted between us made my stomach twist with apprehension. There is a lack of certainty in the air; unbeknownst to me my own insecurity fed off of hers. But the sound of her voice was a soothing balm as my eyes turned towards the canopy, and for the briefest of moments my lids slid shut as I took a deep breath. I still did not fully understand this power she held over me, but I knew one thing. I wanted her to be happy; oh I wanted it so badly, more than I'd ever wanted anything for myself.

I quickly lowered my head, eyes fixating upon Leafshadow when she breathed an apology that split the silence. Sorry? Why was she sorry? Brows pulled slightly together and lifting in concern, green eyes seeking her face, wishing I could understand. My lips parted ever so slightly, about to express that she owed me no apologies. Her words gained strength as she spoke again, and my rebuffs caught in my throat. Even as she spoke I could feel the doubt in her explanation, the questioning that she posed to herself. My ears tilted backwards in a moment of shame. She felt like she owed me something. I'd never meant to become an imposition upon her life. The last thing I wanted was to become some kind of obstacle in her path.

"Leafshadow, no, I..." She left me flustered at best, a feeling I was not entirely accustomed to feeling. But then again, this thing between us was still strange and new to me. "You needn't apologize ta me. I mean, its'fate, right? Neither of us had any control over it happenin." My brows pitched downwards, finding myself unable to articulate my thoughts. My words softened, "I only mean, ya don't owe me 'nything. I juss want ya to be happy." With the last statement my eyes dropped away from her, looking down at my paws before I cheated a glance up at her, trying to find my inborn confidence once more as I cleared my throat.

When she asked how my life was going I found my proverbial footing, a smile pulling at my lips as I thought of the prior day's events. "I've been promoted; Dream Catcher, 'longside miss Namira. I'd like to learn more 'bout healing, too; hopin the future Shaman'll teach me a bit." I was proud of my new position amongst the hierarchy of the pack, not because it put me above anyone else but simply because it gave me a sense of duty and purpose. And it was a duty I was familiar with, from life with my parents' pack. I knew I could do right by the youngsters of the forest. Now all I wanted was to do right by Leafshadow. "How're you doin? Is there anything, ya know, I can help with?" But dammit, she'd said it was personal business, that meant it was personal. I shouldn't have tried bringing it back up, she probably didn't wanna talk about it anyways.

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 ...
