Plot
The pack of Lonely Creek have been thriving in their territory for years. Prosperous and lush lands, little to no troubles with warring packs and nearby loners... Life was great. Amazing, even, and the Lonely Creek pack would live generations and generations in a fantasy land. Filled with plenty of prey to go around, welcoming wolves in the pack, everyone working together... It was just great.
However, due to their traditions and beliefs, something interesting has happened. Disease and famine has taken over their heaven-like territory, killing most of the wolves in the pack, alongside the alphas and some other high-ranking wolves. Heartbreak has swept the lands for the past few months now, and without question, the Lone Creek pack began questioning their love for their gods.
Some wolves have had a realization that the gods are not who they seem to be or who are made out to be, resulting in the disbelief of them. Those who are believers believe that it is those who don't believe are causing these tragedies to happen. That being said, they have banished those wolves, causing riots within their own pack.
Believers of the gods are constantly praying and hoping that they will fill their lands with good again, and those who don't believe are planning to plot against the pack in order to prove a point that it doesn't matter how much you believe.
The black out days are coming. Where do you stand? |

Pack Territory
The territory stretches for miles upon miles, and is mainly claimed, though there is the possibility that a rogue may wander in because of how giant the territory is. There are plenty of places to visit and see in this place, though the camp is centered near the middle of it. Camp©quietbliss @ da  The camp sits on a hill slope, and isn't very steep. In the side of the hill are where the pack's dens have been carved out, each being personalized for ranks and with each generation of rank, has been slightly changed. It is lush and is surrounded by forest. The camp dens are relatively close together, and the higher you go up the hill, the higher the rank.Weeping Forest©quietbliss @ da A rather creepy forest, the Weeping Forest surrounds the pack for miles upon miles. It is normally quite foggy and it is said that the souls of those who have passed on from the pack live here in peace - it is their resting place. There are plenty of burial sites and ritualistic sites scattered throughout the forest, though most are not in use anymore.Hunting Grounds©landkeks-stock @ da A rather flat area, this is where most of the pack's food is to be hunted and killed. A bunch of lone wolves pass through here. It is quite lush, though due to disease, most animals have either died, are infected, or have moved on from the area, making the food scarce. The following is what the pack could come across in this area; rabbits, deer, elk, mice, birds, bears, mountain lions, and other wolves.Mythic Falls©landkeks-stock @ da A ritualistic area for the wolves to gather. Many ceremonies, gatherings, etc are held here.Sorrow MeadowA burial place for those who have died. Many come here to visit the dead, pray, and just sit and admire the beauty of the place. |

Pack Ranks
Explained
High Ranks
Alpha Female
The overall ruler of the pack. She is the highest rank possible in the pack, and this is the highest rank a female can reach in her lifetime. Her word is law, normally supported by the Alpha Male, and she is among one of the most respected wolves in the pack. She makes the law and is there to enforce her own rules, debate punishment, decide consequences of rules broken, assign tasks, assign ranks, demote others, etc. She is to be adressed as "Your Highness", "Ma'am", etc.
Alpha Male
The second most dominant wolf in the pack, he is the Alpha Female's mate and this is the highest rank a male can reach in his lifetime. He helps enforce rules and is there to support the Alpha Female's descisions. He does most things like assigning tasks, putting out hunting and scouting parties, etc. He is also there to sire the Female's pups, which would be heir to being the next possible Alpha. He is to be adressed as "Your Majesty", "Sir", etc.
Lady Huntress
The Alpha Female's chosen female to be her main supporter. Possible that these two are related, she is the most trusted by the Alpha Female and is among the most respected wolves out of the pack. In the Alpha's absence, she may assign duties or answer any questions.
Lord Hunter
Same as Lady Hunter, just for the Alpha Male.
Betas
These wolves are the second most dominant and are there to enforce rules. It is possible some of these wolves are related. They are handpicked by the Lord Hunter and Lady Huntress, basically acting as their assistants. They help enforce rules as well.
Deltas
Chosen by the betas, they will help out with any of their duites and are the third most dominant in the pack. They are normally working alongside the Sentinels.
Sentinels
These wolves are highly respected as they lead any hunting, scouting, or battle parties. They help find food as well and are the main protectors of the pack.
Normal Ranks
Warriors
Those skilled and trained in fighting. They may be sent out on scouting parties and accompany the hunters in hunting parties.
Hunters
Those skilled in hunting and tracking. They may be sent out on hunting parties and accompany the warriors in scouting parties.
Sacrificials
The planned sacrifices to the gods at yearly rituals. Yes. These wolves have been hand chosen through a series of tests and rituals, in which they have been picked by the gods. Each year they sacrifice one in hopes of the gods continuing to bless the pack.
Medic
This wolf is considered sacred as they have been blessed with the knowledge of herbs and are to help nurse the injured and sick. They are highly intelligent when it comes to health.
Medic's Apprentince
The wolf that is planning to be the medic once the current one steps down or passes away. They are chosen by the Medic.

Elders
Any wolf older than 12. They are the main reason why the pack is the way it is and have proven that they were worthy of the pack's loyalty. Normally, they are former alphas.
Lowest Ranks
Omegas
The lowest of the low - these wolves are treated like dirt. They are not respected, and are basically the pack's punching bags. Nobody cares for them at all. Wolves in this position are maybe newcomers, but nine times out of ten, they will be wolves who have disobeyed the alphas and the gods.
Outside Ranks
Banished Wolves
The wolves banished from the pack due to their beliefs in the gods. They are planning to take back what is theirs and prove that the gods have no meaning in this world.
