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

He does not seek argument, or even defending, of either world - he had only heard stories of one while living in the other full of heartache and wrongs. He listens to her, though, as she does defend New Moladion and is glad to leave her uninterrupted. She has a love of this place that his upbringing had left wanting because of who his father was and what was expected of him. He does believe her, though, when she says that she aimed to make this world great - be it through making it like the Old world or renewing it into something even better.

He does find himself nodding at the new generation of leaders and the potential for why they have come to be so flighty and so easily provoked. “Well, for both those parts - it is perhaps simply my having heard my father and uncles tell stories since I was a pup. Leaders were less… mortal, perhaps… in the way they told it. Memories do design you greater and wiser and more poignant figures than perhaps reality would lend to them having been. I am only grateful to be beholden to one who is every bit as grand as those stories made the Old Ones seem.” He knows she may not take the compliment, but it his honest opinion and he would continue to believe so with or without her permission.

His comment on imprinting brings out in her more shyness, but also more defense of the present world and it’s trappings. "I know when you find that imprint that can be heart and soul it is the most wonderful thing, and no simple love can compare to it when you have or had that." He nods, “I think that it is simply that it was once that imprints were not so different - and imprinting molded a male more perfectly to his female counterpart. Now, we are finding pairs that make no sense, that making imprinting more risky and by-chance. It feels as though imprints are entirely different than their origins - again, something Seamus said was likely due to the meteor’s influence.”

He is caught up in her offer then, caught up in being asked to champion her, and that old nuisance of self-doubt rears it’s ugly head. Her vehemence in response surprises him, ears back and eyes wide. This, coupled with the thrill still tingling him at his throat from the touch of her muzzle, well it was just about enough to make his poor heart burst. He only pricks his ears again with the bat of her paw that also softens his expression out of surprise and into something warm… and perhaps even awkwardly so. "So… are you going to accept then? With no doubts? Prove yourself wrong if no one else. For I think only you see your faults, your failings as that."

“I will do what I have always done when you have assigned a duty to me or my men. Accept it and try to find a way to be worthy of the trust that encouraged you to give it to me.” He smiles, then, a lopsided thing that is more personal and personable than perhaps his formal sounding words might have seemed. He does not repeat his sentiments of doing anything she asked, of being whatever she wanted, again. He does not repeat the notion that she had no idea just how much he would do, how far he would go, for her.

He does not know how to make his intentions known - no better than his father had been with his first imprint and mate Doe, no better than his step-brother Weylin had been. Always the lines of Bahamut seemed to struggle when first finding their hearts belonged to another - and Alexander only made worse by having his soul locked away elsewhere and with no excuse for it than the beating muscle in his chest betraying him to a destiny of unrequited affection.

“As your champion, I might have to insist we move this inside, however. If the border patrol I was on was any sign, the storm will only grow worse from here and I am loathe to let you freeze if I can help it.”

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 ...
