ALL packs must post pack rules and ranks. Please do this ASAP. The royal pack's rules will trump subordinate packs' rules that go against them, but every pack needs guidelines - just make sure they're ones that cohere with what the royal pack has already set down as law. Also, to keep ranks within the packs straight, it is vital that there is some sort of system tracking them. And finally, this is necessary to keep an acurate member count for each kingdom.

Don't forget to vote for the MOTM & WOTM! Also, if you have any suggestions for a Site Plot please reply to the appropriate thread (it's an announcement on all boards, shouldn't be hard to find XP).
Thanks --Ryder
Hi all, if you have claimed a pack I have sent you a PM (let me know if I somehow missed you or made a mistake in the claims). Also, all packs should have pack rules and ranks, not just the "royal" packs, so... ya, i'll be setting a deadline if I don't start seeing some of those popping up. (I will sticky all pack rules & ranks so that they stay on the top of your pack board). Any questions, comments, concerns, etc PM me. Thanks.

There was a poll set a few days ago for the background. We want the site to be the best it can be. The poll can be found here. If you would please vote, then it will help us out loads. Thanks.

Alianora }{ Hatred breeds love... « Thread Started on Sept 21, 2008, 11:27pm »
Vitals: Name; Alianora Current Age; 6 Gender; Female Species; Northern Timber Wolf Alliance; Queen of Decissus
Physical/Emotional: Height; 28" -ish. Weight; About 140 lbs. Length; 56" -ish. Pelt Color; Black w/ brown highlights. Eye Color; Gold Health Issues; None Scars; Many Mental State; Calmly insane. Other Information; Not yet! =D
Basic: Description; Alianora has predominantly black fur with light brown highlights. This variation gives her a red sheen in the right lighting, bringing her honey gold eyes out. It's slightly unnerving to look into her orbs. They show a mix of pain and suffering, rage and hatred, love and care. Somehow, it all evens out in a complete serenity. To keep eye contact with Alianora is near impossible, for she is constantly surveying her surroundings. No, she's not paranoid, she just learned long ago not to let your guard down. Still, those golden eyes, when you can make contact, appear to look straight through you, all the way to your soul. She on the reverse side of things, appears not to have one. Behind the mixed emotions warring with one another in her sight, there is only blackness.
Her usual facial expression is longing, as if she's always looking into the distance for something she lost that is to come back to her. She is, of course, but that is to come later. Her pelt is still stretched over a beautiful frame, and her muscle deffinition is exquisit. Her claws are rarely, if ever, broken, for she keeps in perfect condition. Her coat is always glossy and kempt, her phisique expressing dominance in every move. Her entire form shows she's a fighter and not a hunter. Slightly stocky with strength and stamina instead of long and lean with speed. Personality; Sometimes appearances and reality are different, sometimes the same. One can never really know until one digs deep enough to find out. In Alianora's case, however, one could dig for eternity and find nothing, or one could dig for only as long as she is in labor and see the beauty of the wolf in a moment. As far as the way she treats others however... She demands respect, but not the "bow at my paws and lick the ground I walk upon" kind. More like the "if I say it, shut up and do as you're told, otherwise, does it really matter?" kind. Upon meeting another, never does she butter anything up, nor does she hold her tongue. She is, afterall, a queen, and there is only one wolf in the land that can get her to back down: her mate and alpha, Incubus.
One thing about Alianora though, she hates things being sugar-coated. The fastest way to get on her good side: tell it like it is and speak your mind. She's also extremely logical. 2 plus 2 equals 4. Period. That's all there is to it. Time to pack up and go home. Alianora really is like that, and will be quick to tell you that your emotions are getting in the way of your judgement. This is probably why she appears to not have any feelings. Well, unless she's around pups, but that's another story entirely. Long story short: pups bring out the best of the queen of Decessus.
History; Decimber '02, a litter of four timber wolf pups are born. Their mother: omega. Their father: alpha of another pack. The pups are doomed right? Almost. The alphess of their mother's pack misscarried. All but one of the pups had already died for their mother was exiled for bearing another pack's pups. After the misscarriage, the she-wolf searched for the omega and her pups. Being the only one left, Sky was taken and raised as a royal pup. She was queen material from early on, but she wasn't one of the alpha's pups. She never took the title of heir and left her home by the age of 2.
For years, she wondered aimlessly across the land. There are few over the age of about 4 that she hasn't met at least once. Few have ever disliked her logical approach to everything, so the she-wolf has not real enemies. During the years she wondered, she met a male that actually caught her attention. He promised her the moon and she believed him. She carried his pups for all of three months and gave birth to 5. She awoke the next morning to find the pups missing and his smirking face leering down at her. She knows the truth about what happened to her pups and vowed revenge. She got it less than a year later when she and the old boyfriend crossed paths once more. Long story short: he didn't live through the night.
For months she searched for her lost pups. Being a loner and a first time mother, her maternal instincts didn't wear off like they would have in a pack. It was during this time that she met Incubus, or Ink as he goes by. She couldn't help but submit to him, and chose to live as his queen. He's the first wolf that she's ever truely trusted unconditionally. She has given him multiple pups and is happy, but will forever have a longing in her eyes for her first litter.
