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

The other male was a mystery not easily solved, his face an unreadable slate. Dexter both admired this and it made him uneasy because he was so used to reading other wolves when he spoke to them. It's what helped him communicate so easily with wolves like Tuari and Wren, wolves who either couldn't hear or couldn't speak. Body language and facial expressions were the next best thing. Alistair, it seemed, had either trained himself not to respond as others did or it was just a natural thing for him. If he wasn't that prone to emotions, maybe, or he was just naturally a stoic wolf. Either way, Dexter would have to adapt and find another way to figure this wolf out. The curiosity in the other's stare could not be missed though and Dexter could feel prying eyes taking in his every move. Even if Alistair wasn't prone to responding, he did indeed watch others just as closely as Dexter, if not more so. His gaze was intense as if trying to see right through Dexter, as if trying to read his mind. He held his ground, ears still straining forward, but he was alert to any change in the wolf's demeanor, if that were even possible.

When he mentioned that he was waiting for him, there was a difference in the wolf though. His lips performed this strange half smile that didn't quite reach his eyes but none the less, Dexter had the assumption that something was humorous about the whole thing to Alistair. Did he not expect help on this or was it something else? Did he say something wrong? He blinked in puzzlement, one brow lifting slightly as his tail gave a gentle swish. His head tilted some, listening carefully as Alistair told him that he must have called for him. He was about to ask if he had not heard the call he just sent out but then Alistair gave him a curve ball when he said that Zelda must not have told him to seek him out by other means. He blinked again, still a little slower on the uptake today but he was trying to follow. And then Alistair gave him the answer, telling him that he cannot hear calls or his words. Dexter's eyes widened in surprise and then he gave a sheepish smirk as his ears flicked back. Alistair's voice trailed off and Dexter caught on quickly that the sir was a way of saying he didn't know what else to call him. His eyes widened again in shame as he chuckled softly and shook his head.

"OH! SORRY, BAD MANNERS ON MY PART. I'M DEXTER. YOU ARE CORRECT, THAT FACT MUST HAVE SLIPPED HER MIND."

He then jumped right to saying that Zelda filled Dexter in, his words making it sound more like a statement than a question but either way, Dexter found it only polite to nod in agreement. Alistair sat before him, his expression still mostly unreadable but serious. He knew well how delicate this subject would be then. Dexter cleared his throat, scowling thoughtfully for a moment before he answered.

"I'M MOSTLY CURIOUS AS TO WHAT EDEN MIGHT KNOW AND WHY HE WOULD KEEP IT FROM US. BEING AN ALLY OF TAVIORA ALL THIS TIME, THAT INFORMATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO AMOXTLI AND SHILOH'S ATTENTION THE MOMENT IT WAS FOUND OUT. I JUST WONDER IF HE WAS PROTECTING SOMEONE CLOSE TO HIM, A FAMILY MEMBER OR CLOSE FRIEND. WAS IT ACCIDENTAL AND HE DIDN'T WANT PROBLEMS TO START FROM IT OR WAS THERE MORE TO IT, SOME SECRET MOTIVE TO GET AMOXTLI OFF THE THRONE?"

He took a moment, his gaze finding his paws. Every time he thought about the poisoning situation, he felt guilty for not being here for his family and angry that someone would hurt anyone he cared about. He didn't know if Alistair would recognize his name or know his relation to Amoxtli so he felt it only right to inform him if not.

"I'LL BE HONEST, ALISTAIR, I HAVE A PERSONAL MOTIVE IN THIS SO IT MEANS A LOT THAT ZELDA WOULD TRUST MY JUDGEMENT IN HELPING YOU FIND THE ANSWERS. I WASN'T HERE TO HELP MY BROTHER WHEN HE GOT POISONED OR TO FIND THE CULPRIT AS SOON AS IT HAPPENED SO NOW YOU HAD TO PICK UP THE SLACK AND START FROM SCRATCH. I AM INDEBTED TO YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE FOUND SO FAR. I'D BE HONORED TO HELP YOU FINISH IT BY FINDING THE ANSWERS WE DESIRE. I WANT JUSTICE FOR MY FAMILY BUT I KNOW THAT PACK POLITICS SHOULD BE HANDLED CAREFULLY. I APPRECIATE ANY INPUT YOU'LL HAVE ALONG THE WAY TO HELP THIS GO SMOOTHLY FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED."

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 ...
