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

I'm just beautiful me. [Amoxtli]

Posted on March 27, 2018 at 01:11:20 AM by Seraphina

Her latest attempt to find Forfax had ended like all the others; in utter disappointment. She wasn't sure why she was always surprised when her hunts through Moladion and beyond turned up not a single clue. She just didn't understand how someone she loved could disappear so completely. It was frustrating and depressing really, to know that one of the brothers that had helped her learn as she grew was forever gone. She hadn't been able to accept it, really. Perhaps she hadn't ventured far enough? Maybe she hadn't asked the right questions or found the right scent. But it had been years and as she grew older she was less inclined to stray from Haziel. Partly because he needed her and mostly because she needed him. He was her comfort in the world, her other half. She was the eyes and he was the ears. It might not make much sense to others but what they had worked and she wouldn't give it up for anything in the world, not even Forfax.

As the middle-aged female stepped into the forest, oblivious to the enchanting sounds of the creatures that lived there, she paused and lifted her auburn head and inhaled deeply. She might not be able to hear them, but she could smell the squirrels and birds and other small forest creatures as they skittered about. A bittersweet smile curled on her lips. She was home--well not completely but close--and she would not be leaving again. She'd spent over half her life searching off and on for her errant brother. Forfax did not wish to be found; that was the only option she was willing to consider. It broke her heart a little to give up on the search but she wasn't getting any younger and in truth, she just wanted to go back to Haziel and grow old with him. They could tell the pack's pups stories and be grumpy and ornery and generally difficult if they chose and no one would say a thing because they were old and distinguished members of the Angel line.

Haziel might not particularly care for their heritage but Sera found it utterly fascinating, curious even, how such beautiful wolves managed to remain in power for so long. How such a vast family could be so distant. Knowing that her sister, Shiloh, lived in the forest with her mate and their children, Seraphina decided that a detour wouldn't be out of the question. She'd never been particularly close with her other siblings, preferring the company of Haziel and Forfax, but she supposed she ought to let them know that she'd returned and had come to the decision that she would give up the search for Forfax.

With a huff, Seraphina rolled her shoulder, blonde and cinnamon fur rippling before settling once more. Though her fur might not have been as long as some of her ancestors or relatives, it was soft as velvet in the places where it was quite short and her neck and spine carried the longer, silky fullness of her bloodline. It had never been a question that she was beautiful and it was easy to see that in the way Sera moved through the forest, intent on her destination and undeterred by the sounds of the forest. Tail swaying lazily behind her, Sera hesitated briefly at the edge of Taviora's border then pressed forward. She'd see her sister, though now that she was here, she wondered if she even remembered quite what Shiloh looked like. Certainly she wasn't sure she remembered what her mate looked like. Deciding that it was probably better to call one or both to her, she settled herself just inside the boundaries of Taviora and focusing on trying to make sure her voice carried, called out for her sister or said sister's mate. The only rub was...she wouldn't know if they responded and only the faint vibrations of careless steps or the scent of another nearby would alert her to their approach. So she would wait and hope no one got too angry about her trespassing.

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 ...
