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 know it's been comin' for some time
IP: 72.168.177.223
Posted on March 1, 2017 at 01:57:38 AM by Dexter

He had always admired his father for his great strength and will and also his gigantic heart. If there's anything he was sure Coza would never run low on, it's his great love and compassion for others. He knew always growing up that his parents loved him and they loved each other. He never knew the hardships of parents that fought. He didn't think he ever even saw them look in anger at each other, or even irritation. It was always love and adoration between them. They carried that trait onto their children which always made Dexter feel that much more ashamed of what he had become. Surely Coza wouldn't be happy to know his son had grown up to kill other wolves. True, the wolves weren't innocent in the slightest and Dexter always made sure of that before he moved on it but none the less, he took lives and he was addicted to it. It gave him purpose.

He smiled when Coza said he would never let him down, leaning in to press his head into his father's shoulder for a moment, sharing in this close moment with him. He wanted to inhale his father's scent once more, to be surrounded by his great bulk and more importantly, his love. Who knows how much longer he would be able to do that? He wanted to make the most of it while he could. His father had never tried to push them or make their decisions for them growing up. He had always supported them but Dexter would never know if he could ask his father to support him in what he did. He didn't want to put that kind of pressure on his father. Coza deserved peace in his elder years. He deserved to think of his children as he wanted them, perfect. He didn't need to know of the darkness that haunted Dexter's steps. That would only add more stress and he certainly didn't deserve that. He knew that his father was no fool and he probably knew that things weren't always as they seemed to he also knew his father would never ask him of his wanderings. That was one of the many blessings that came with having Coza as a father.

He was worried about what his father would think of him saying he wanted to go after the ones who hurt Zeltzin and Amoxtli but his father never quit smiling. Dexter tilted his head, almost confused for a moment on this reaction. He had expected Coza to try to give him sage knowledge on how he should forgive others, not exact revenge. He knew enough that his father wasn't happy about what had happened to his child and grandchild but he also knew that Coza was not a wolf that believed in revenge. He would always turn the other cheek and while Dexter loved him for that, he couldn't follow in his foot steps. He listened as his father told him that they were strong but hurting and that it would only make them stronger. He nodded.

"I KNOW, DAD. I JUST WANT TO TAKE THE DARKNESS FROM THIS EARTH SO WE CAN ALL ENJOY THE REST OF OUR LIVES IN THE LIGHT."

That was the closest he would ever come to telling his father what he did for a living, not that he expected his father to put the pieces together just from that. Coza told him that he should stick with Zelda and that she was like the females in their family, loving and strong. He said that she would need help with Aranck and he scowled a little in thought.

"WHO IS ARANCK AND WHAT DOES HE HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING? HE IS THE ALPHA OF IROMAR, RIGHT?"

He thought he had heard the name come up a few times in conversation amongst the loners in Moladian. The male certainly seemed to have a lot of wolves who didn't take to him too kindly but what did he have to do with Dexter's family? His body tensed a little as he waited for Coza's reply, waiting for the other ball to drop, in a sense. His father then told him to be safe and he nodded.

"ALWAYS."

He assured his father. He knew this was what Coza would want to hear, that he was trying to be safe. He certainly didn't need to know that he was itching to go track down a killer and put him in the ground. That he wanted to find the wolves responsible for hurting his family and make them pay in all the worst ways. He was reluctant to leave his father's side now that he had found him again. He wanted to spend as much time with him as he could. There was always time to find a den and bed down for the night but he wouldn't always have this time to spend with Coza. He wanted it to last forever.

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 ...
