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

Their family certainly wasn't the most normal but then, it never had been to him. They were like a family of misfits but Paxton always thought it was what made them so special. When his mom died, it tore his heart in two but the worst part was seeing the damage it did to their father. After seeing the crushing force losing an imprint could do to someone, he felt that they needed to be strong for Jinan. He stopped crying, at least around his family and definitely around his father. Every so often, a stray tear might escape when he was with his brother Barrett but since he was the one he confided in the most about his feelings, he didn't mind so much that his brother saw him weak. Barrett was changed too by the loss and Paxton saw him taking more and more to the climbing tree, as if he wanted to be alone. Paxton hated seeing the distant look in his brother's eyes, like he was already somewhere else, anywhere else but here. Paxton often wondered if Barrett would leave the safety of Taviora once Jinan was gone.

It was sadly no longer a matter of 'if' but 'when' when their father would join their mother in the ground. If Barrett left, who would he have left? His aunt Tuari, but Barrett was his confidante and brother, his best friend. He felt he'd have to follow him, whether Barrett wanted it or not. He saw his other older siblings scattering to the four winds and he wondered if that was just something you do when you grow up. He was scared to leave Taviora but he would never admit it, not even to Barrett. He felt that he needed to be strong for his brother. He saw Mohegan and Tuari trying to help out, as if stalling the inevitable with Jinan. It was only a matter of time before the rest of his body gave out to match the decaying flesh of his soul. Barrett seemed determined to go out on his own and do more, as if proving he could take care of himself and didn't need anyone else to take care of him. Paxton felt he was doing it because he felt guilty about something but he couldn't figure out quite what.

As he called to his brother, it was only a matter of seconds before he heard the rustle of the leaves up above then his brother's body appeared, hitting the ground with a dull thud as he rolled across it. Paxton gasped at the sudden appearance, concern etching his features as he followed after his brother's rolling form. "Hey, Rett, you okay? Did that hurt?" He called out in his loud voice, reaching out to nose at his brother's side gently. His brother got up as if nothing was wrong but Paxton scrunched up his nose, sure that it was going to tell on him later. He shook his head with a snort. "You're so silly, Rett. You know we're not cats. It's not like we land on our feet. You should be more careful." Even so, he gave him a boyish grin, his eyes twinkling as his tail wagged in happiness to be around his brother.

Barrett brushed against him and he made a soft chuffing noise of affection, turning to watch as his brother inspected the flower. When Barrett turned to him, he automatically focused on his lips, knowing his brother would take his time forming the words so he could understand. He nodded, his tail wagging more rapidly. "Of course! She deserves this flower." His eyes filled with sadness when he said it, his gaze moving to the flower for a moment as he sniffled and then brushed the heavy thoughts away, looking back at Barrett. He watched his brother's face change, knowing how he grew sad every time they went but Paxton felt it was healthy for them to grieve her loss and to better prepare themselves for the future loss of thier father.

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 ...
