General Information | Setting | Ranks
This Pack is SEMI-CONSENT
Any species is allowed to join Alteron, and the setting is very similar to a Pacific temperate rainforest. Temperate rainforests in general are coniferous or broadleaf forests that occur in the temperate zone and receive heavy rainfall.

Summary:
Alteron is a cloak and dagger kingdom, an empire of a rich history and ever expanding roots. A kingdom built on the backs of betrayers and betrayals. Where any word could have a hidden meaning, or a whispered threat.

The Alphas
Cooper [Nhu] | Ren [Indra]

General Information | Setting | Ranks
This Pack is NO-CONSENT
It only accepts wolves or wolf mixes, and the setting is a desert scrub valley housing tar pits surrounded by dense forest.

Summary:
A wolf pack revolving around a savage religion based on four gods. Three Rosa, and the Red Dragon. The Rosa are worshiped, each for their own qualities, and members choose a Rosa to follow based on this. The Red Dragon is feared and hated by most, worship of her is forbidden. The wolves of the valley strive to be what a wolf should be, brave, instinctual, intelligent, and feral. Outsiders are considered heathens and non wolf species are generally not admitted.

The Alphas
Rhiow [Serrate] | Witch [Akira]

General Information | Setting | Ranks
This Pack is CONSENT
It accepts all species, and the setting contains mountains, grasslands, rocky beaches, and woodlands.

Summary:
A home for refugees, misfits and those trying to redefine themselves, Gemini is a pack focused on inclusivity and safety. We value in-character development and out-of-character communication; we foster an ever-changing place to roleplay and an “anything goes!” mindset. Because of our system of developing everything in-character, there is ample opportunity for anyone to leave their mark on the pack. We encourage the participation and representation of everyone!

Current Allies: Inaria
Current Neutral: Alteron
Current Enemies: Saboro

The Alphas
Kay [Ghost] | Eve [Haven] | Arkyls [Xenia] | Kotake [Kashmir]

General Information | Setting | Ranks | Jacana Dires
This Pack is CONDITIONAL CONSENT
It accepts all canines (other species with alpha approval), and the setting is a forest filled with famed purple flowering trees, rolling hills, blooming meadows, and temperate beaches.

Summary:
Inaria is a proud and ancient kingdom. Living amongst the famous flowering trees and clear streams, Inarians have always been known as peaceful and noble, blessed by providence. However, the truth is always more complicated than that - under the beautiful surface and proud culture there is in fact a long-suffering populace who have always had to fight for their home and their principles. Inarians are known for their dignity, kindness, and propriety, but despite the pleasant face they show the world, they regard themselves as a lone bastion of goodness in a world filled with enemies and disaster. They will defend their home at all costs.

General Information | Setting | Ranks
This Pack is SEMI-CONSENT
It accepts all species, and the setting is a forest and mountain valley.

Summary:
Simple creatures, choosing to live as a close knit family under the watchful eye of their Mother Moon. Nardiri wolves are not required to follow this religion of moon worship, but they are expected to respect it. This pack strives to better themselves and the world around them, even allowing refugees sanctuary. Nardir is a neutral pack and practices pacifism. All creatures are accepted here.

The Alphas
Gothy [Sincate] | Kiri [Gray]

General Information | Setting | Ranks | Ignis Dires
This Pack is SEMI-CONSENT
It accepts large canines, felines, and hellions, and the setting is a boreal taiga.

Summary:
Saboro is highly territorial, highly stratified. A pack that is good to its allies, generally leaving them in peace (while occasionally kidnapping their members), but is otherwise on constant patrol and in an everlasting state of paranoia. Day and night, a guard stands watch — waiting, even hoping, one can surmise, for the slightest transgression. A pretext. They turn away and cull the useless, seeking the strong and the potentially strong only, who are marked with the Tattoo once they deserve that highest honor.

The Alphas
DustyForgotten [Basma]

General Information | Setting | Ranks
This Pack is NO-CONSENT
It accepts all carnivores (and potentially useful herbivores), and the setting is arctic highlands surrounding tundra and almost-always snowy taiga.

Summary:
Rising from the ashes of a fallen kingdom, the civilized savages of Bacchus make their home within the bowels of an isolated mountain valley with a desert at its teeth. Led by their ex-military minded alpha who holds an obsessive interest in experimenting with hybridization and bloodlines, this semi-isolated kingdom strives to learn all they can from their neighbors - to use to build their own powerful nation.

This Pack is SEMI-CONSENT
It accepts all species, and the setting is a dense, semi-tropical rainforest/jungle near a cliffside.

Summary:
In a semi-tropical paradise flush against an ocean cliffside, a seclusive culture rich in history and extravagance resides. Gods of feathers and fire watch over their devout, who seek to emulate their deities in the most ostentatious manner, even so far as to breed an elegant, revered subspecies - the Aviari Timberwolves. Surrounded by mangroves, pyramid ruins, and lush jungle forests, the Syn Cardrys tribe call El Dorado their home.

Kookamunga [Smalltalk]

General Information | Setting | Ranks
This Pack is SEMI-CONSENT
It accepts all species, and the setting is a vast desert with a large oasis.

Summary:
Laughing, cheerful spirits call your name as they dance like licking flames among constellations and desert dunes as old as the world itself. Massive bones of elephants long gone twist and curl alongside a familiar oasis, their tusks painted and wrapped in festive banners as fireflies lend their glow to the night. You know this place, the home of the caravan wolves, and as you reach for the warm, outstretched hands of the spirits you realize that you also know all of their faces. Welcome to the Outlands- welcome back home.

General Information | Setting | Ranks
This Pack is SEMI-CONSENT
It accepts canines, felines, and hellions, and the setting is tropical jungles, white beaches, and rocky coves.

Summary:
Striving on the desire for victory and greed, the pirates of Tortuga lurk behind the vast mountain walls that they tore from their enemies. Now a formidable empire, their goal is to expand their reach to every corner of the Straits via alliances, bargains, deceit or war. Under the command of the Captain and Quartermaster, the deziens are put to work for the good of the Empire; bonds of respect and trust are forged to unite the crew under one flag. However, corruption festers in the background, providing a gamble of opportunity for those who wish to take it; for better or worse. Tortuga allows all manner of canines, felines, and hellions.

General Information | Setting | Ranks
This Pack is CONDITIONAL CONSENT
It accepts all species, and the setting is underground tunnels, caverns, caves, forests, swamps and a chasm.

Summary:
Within the depths of underground caverns, the four seasons rule a paradise that almost seems impossible. Their factions rule sections which create a living space for each and their followers. Various biomes flourish underground from swamps to forests to crystal-clear pools, but above is a wasteland of ash and dead trees flanked by the deep chasm. They struggle to survive within the deep dark pits of the Earth, each season rising to take responsibility of their people. The Gods of the Seasons call themselves Elysium.

Summary:
A band of misfits and outcasts, Soleil are a nomadic tribe of thieves who thrive on festivals and entertainment. Originating from the Ambervale Isle, these foxwolves and other creatures venture away from their home every two months to scout out other packs and try to take whatever valuable items they can. They act as a sanctuary for all, letting anyone willing to help out stay in their autumn paradise.

Misfits and oddballs are welcomed with open arms. They are a matriarchal society, though there is little inequality between males and females, save that only a female may rise to the rank of Queen. Members who are accepted into Ukoo are expected only to be able to prove themselves loyal to the clan by honoring it with their hard work.

The Alphas
Papa [Ripley] | Teddy [Martin] | Mutter [Nouveau]

General Information | Setting | Ranks
This Pack is NO-CONSENT
It accepts all species (hellions might be avoided under suspicion of witchcraft), and the setting is an abandoned human town.

Summary:
Tucked snugly between endless rolling meadows and lush swamps sits the cosy town of Borogrove, a derelict old village once inhabited by humans. With a strong sense of community and dedication to one another, Borogrove is the perfect place to shelter from the harsh elements of the outside world. Here, animals of all kinds coexist, protecting one another from danger, living and learning beneath the shadow of old stone buildings and monoliths. But sometimes the smiles are too wide, and show too many teeth. The cries of ‘DEVIL!’ and ‘WITCH!’ pierce the air. The forsaken are dragged from their beds at night and swing from the gallows come morning. Fear and paranoia is absolute, but manipulated by all.

Current Allies: Saboro, Alteron, and Tortuga
Current Neutral: N/A
Current Enemies: Nardir

STONECLAW
[Image: stoneclawbanner.png]
The Alphas
BlackRabbit [Nexus] | Isa [Ranya]

General Information | Setting | Ranks | Leodons
This Pack is CONDITIONAL CONSENT
It accepts felines primarily but will allow other species, and the setting is red wood forest valley with rolling hills, snow capped mountains, and burned grasslands.

Summary:
Once a mighty feline pride, fallen from power, two siblings strive to return their pride to its former glory. There is no religion here but religion is a free choice. Instead, members are split into Clans depending on rank and personality. Information is important to this group, so if you come asking for help, they will gladly take when you know in exchange for what you need. This pack is growing over IC development so there is plenty of opportunity to shape the pack as an individual. While this is primarily a feline pride, canines and hellions are welcome.
