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
it's where my demons hide
IP: 72.168.177.157

Dexter
male.11 years old.35in, 145#.born to MothxCoszcotl.sibling to Amoxtli&Zeltzin.unable to bind.mated to none.father to Eztli, Lixue, Petra, Citlalli, & Itzel.Taviora

He knew it was only a matter of time before Zeltzin figured it out and knew what he'd done. She was the main healer in Taviora after all. For now though, all he could think about was Tuari and the children and whether they were all going to be okay. Zeltzin at least seemed to be enjoying this part of the job. He wondered if it was her favorite time of year and if it had been darkened any by thoughts the child she lost. Zeltzin looked far too amused at his torment over the pups' names though. She was enjoying this but luckily he had Tuari to lean on and she was quick to come up with a name for at least one of the girls. But that left him with two more to name. He was going through the Nahuatl names in his heads, thinking them up and then discarding each in turn because nothing seems good enough for the beautiful pups that laid before him. They deserved only the best.

When he came up with the last name after a small nudge from Tuari, Zeltzin was quick to let him know that Coza was named about the same god and she would probably wind up being his favorite. Dexter smirked, despite himself, thinking of Coza being buried in a pile of new grnadchildren. He was sure Coza would love it, once he got past the initial shock of the whole situation. Zeltzin was about to leave, it seemed, and though he couldn't wait for more private time with Tuari and his children, he was enjoying this moment with his sister as well. She told him she would be back tomorrow and to watch the pups to which he nodded with a serious expression, determination and that fatherly protective instinct already kicking in as his tail gave a gentle swish in acknowledgement. She told him to let Coza and Amoxtli know and he nodded again, his features softening. He knew he would come across Coza eventually but Amoxtli wasn't always so easy to find. He would have to hunt down their den. He smiled.

"I will. Thank you, Zeltzin."

His eyes shone with gratitude to his sister, that she had come and taken care of Tuari, that she had been here to share in this moment with him. He watched as she left before turning his attention back to Tuari. It was easy to see that she was a natural born mother. She nuzzled her children and happiness just radiated from her as she watched them even though he could tell she was beyond exhausted. She had looked a little amused at his torment as well when he thought of names, though he could tell he had her satisfaction on Petra's name. He wasn't told about the pregnancies till pretty later on and even though he might have been able to brainstorm names even within that time, he was too busy hunting and stressing about the situation to think too much into it. Besides, he was kind of hoping the mothers picked out the names or something. Seems he was wrong, at least mostly. He could see Tuari mouthing the names as he picked them and she certainly had a way of showing him she didn't like the sound of the last one so he changed it and then she seemed okay. Guess he didn't do so bad then.

As Zeltzin took her leave though, it was more and more obvious that Tuari was beat. He moved closer to her, nuzzling her forehead lovingly. At her question, he smiled and nodded.

"Of course. I'll be here."

He watched her eyes slowly close, moving around behind her where he slowly lowered himself and curcled up around her and the pups, his tail looping around his little family as he laid his head gently on her shoulders so he could keep an eye on the pups. He sighed in contentment, happy to just watch them suckle and then fall asleep. It was all so perfect. If only he hadn't screwed it all up by making this magical moment happen with two different wolves.

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 ...
