Get with me if you want to move up in rank. I'm going to change up the pack tasks for a little change of pace.
Congratulations to Adrian on her promotion to Governess. She will handle the guidance and teaching of our young pups in Iromar.
If you have a ^ next to your name, that means you're up for promotion so see me or send me a message on Discord so we can see where to move you. All others interested in specializing or getting a rank, let me know so we can figure out how to make that happen.
The pack board has been updated. If you wanted to remain a member, let me know either on here or Discord and I'll get you back on the board. Otherwise, let's have a thread!
I know I had a couple replies for the training with Spirane so I will be starting that thread soon. Stay tuned!
I am still working on an alliance with Diveen and Asteraia so stay tuned. If you have any information or would like to help, please let me know. If anyone has any ideas to promote activity within the pack, also, let me know. I am open for plots and such! Meanwhile, thank you all for your continued support of the pack.

I'LL BE YOUR DEADMAN
STUCK IN YOUR WONDERLAND
Seventeen...
Ramos knew she was an older wolf but would not have guessed that age and the knowledge caused a slight widening of his eyes that he hoped wouldn’t offend her. His company’s eyes seemed full of life to him despite her pelt telling quite the story, perhaps even as full as her belly. He envied her a bit, not just for having children or a mate by her side. Wolves in his homeland few lived to her age and retained such vitality, and fewer still were they able to bear pups if they had obtained permission to breed past fifteen.
Still, the great cream brute knew her words were in jest and his slight surprise was snapped away by a smug smile of his own as his twisted sense of humor finally wiggled its way out. "If I see your age, I’ll take a male myself." He let out a snort of amusement, content to joke about with this stranger who had welcomed him so fully. Ramos couldn’t remember the last time he had truly cracked a joke and it slowly killed the north in his eyes.
It had been with Raem.
It had been back in his homeland.
Yes. His homeland. That’s where he would take the conversation. At his explanation of his birth pack’s customs, Avery took it well and it brought back some of his good spirits. The multi-colored brute couldn’t get himself to talk more about his past and instead offered a grateful smile and a return nod for what seemed to be an invite to speak with her again. No matter how hard he tried to open his mouth back up, no matter how much it burned his pelt not to respond to her kindness and understanding, he could not. He would have to shove the thoughts away and deal with them at a later time. Ramos had come for a reason other than to unload his trauma upon this she-wolf and needed to keep face in front of others. His outburst in the forests in the north was uncalled for and he was still kicking himself for behaving that way in front of Andreania.
Matters turned to business and with it came answers he was not expecting. This time, however, he was able to swallow back his shock and focus on the alpha’s warning. Another low dip of his head accompanied his words, "Of course, Avery. After your willingness to offer me an audience, I would not wish to betray what trust you have given me. At most, I may wish to speak with them." He flicked his eyes unconsciously around the swamplands behind his obsidian company, a stray bit of caution entering his tone. "I hope that you know a wolf in my position is as good as dead if I were to be caught up in a fight." He had to thank his culture for imparting at least that into him. Ramos was careful to exercise his manners and body language to the best of his ability around any wolf he came across in this new land. One wrong move may end him in a fight that may end up costing his life in the aftermath.
And his time was coming to depart from Iromar before he overstayed his welcome, especially after he requested sensitive information. Still, the she-wolf smiled still, reassuringly, when he asked if he could return and it settled the restlessness that had cropped up after her comment. He offered one back, sincerity ringing clear in his baritone voice. "As do I, Avery."
When the pair stood and he clarified on when he may make a return trip, his smile deepened to a grin at the prospect of getting to meet her unborn children and his stub tail gave a few brisk wags, reflecting her humor in his own yellow-green gaze. "I’d love to, but only after you’ve taught them not to nip."
He gave her time to respond before throwing his head over his bum shoulder and glancing out across the common ground behind him, blanketed in snow and glistening in the morning light. Ramos cocked his head to regard the monarch again and offered her a return for the information she had given him. "If you’d like something of me before I go or a favor in the future, I’d be happy to oblige you. You gave me more than I brought to you so it is only fair."
