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

SET YOUR HEART ON THIS FAR SHORE

It is about the time she watches Alexander give his compliment and the Queen takes her leave that she comes to notice the new soul that had joined her on the outskirts of the festivities. It seemed as though the wolf might just move on, but instead she chooses to stay and talk. Leviathan is not the most social of beasts, but she was raised in a time before the lax natured wolves that now inhabited Moladion. She was under this ones care, if the scent was anything to go by, and she would be polite and welcoming as she could be in her state.

"I know that look - I’ve seen it many times on those who have had something taken from them." At least it was not a ‘I know what you feel’ as was most commonly spoken to her when she wore her heart on her sleeve. She always promptly ended those conversations with a ‘Then you know I wish only for solitude’. This one, she was wiser than most not to try and compare wounds of the heart, body, and soul. “I am old, though I can still manage to outrun wolves half my age. The old inside is worse than the old i must wear on the outside...” She looks with her multi-facet diamond-cut eyes to admire the seafoam of her new, surprise, companion’s.

“And being old inside means knowing too much of loss to heal in any kind of fashion that makes one suitable company.” She smiles, half-hearted and apologetic, but she does not ask her to go. She finds the almost stoic presence of the newcome visitor almost refreshing. No pity. No dithering or prying. Just stated facts and attention paid. “That young Champion there, your packmate, is my nephew. I was feeling his loss too. Our family is notorious for tragically chosen love. My father, his grandfather, chose a she-wolf who reimprinted while he was away trying to heal a sickness. When he returned, she was bonded to another, though they still shared love for one another. Then his father. He loved a woman who came and went, just the same, and whose end seemed to come three times over - tragedy after tragedy breaking their imprint before they found one another only to lose each other again. Then, when that she-wolf was gone to the grave, he died in the embrace of Alexander’s mother - but only after having to endure being kept from his mate and future children because of the she-wolf’s alpha refusing him a home beside his mate.”

She laughs, laying more relaxed and resigned as she tells these tales of true angst. “His half-brother founded Glorall, but his imprint and mate never consummated their love, and he was eaten by an orca who nearly beached itself to get at him while he led his pack hunting sea-lions...” And then she shakes her head, “And I was a fool, I didn’t heed these same signs. I fell in love with a man far above my station who was bested in combat and sent abroad -- I followed him for years, hoping one day his fleeing might cease and he might come to love me. But then he too vanished and years later my imprint found me instead. My love and his was the love of fated wolves too scarred by life to wish to be separated…. Only then my son was lost to us both and neither could bear the other to be near...”

She looks up, contemplative and curious, “Knowing my fate and that of our ancestry, what say you? Do I tell him the folly of loving someone who is too much his superior or believe he will beat the odds that no other of his bloodline has ever managed to defeat?” She has a solemn, dark, pitying humor on her face as she regards her strange friend -- whom had unknowingly opened up the old bird for conversation.

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 ...
