PLOT
----------------------------------------------
Two packs have had an uneasy coexistence in the foothill forests they both call home. Neither trusts the other, but they are, in a sense, sister packs. The Uldre wolves and the Svelt members meet once every four full moons to discuss how the peace will be kept.
At their last meeting, however, the beta of the Uldre Pack was found strangled. With so many scents in the area, it was impossible to tell who had murdered him, and the already tense peace between the packs was broken. They have begun passive aggressive tactics to try and blame each other for the death, and their packs are coming closer and closer to all-out war.
Unbeknownst to them, however, the true murderers are dwelling on the edge of their territories. A group of rogues are staging a total takeover, and the disharmony within the packs is bringing them ever closer to their endgame.

Pack Ranks Explained
----------------------------------------------
Alpha
There is only one alpha. He or she is the most dominant wolf in the group and usually one of the older canines. Their word is law, and it is dangerous to go against them. They can be mates with any ranked wolf. If an alpha lives to the age of 15, then they usually retire and let a younger wolf take up the mantle. They are known as Alpha and are rarely referred to by their given name.
If an alpha is challenged and they lose, they are demoted back to delta or, in some cases, Omega.
Beta
The beta can be either male or female, and there is only one. He or she is one of the strongest and wisest wolves of the pack, and they are in charge of enforcing the Alpha's rules and helping wherever the Alpha desires. If the current Alpha loses their position, the Beta is also demoted to a delta and a new Beta is appointed.
Delta
Deltas are the regular members of the pack that are at least a year old. A pup is considered a Delta once they pass their hunting test and receive their given name. Deltas are the hunters and warriors, the pup sitters and the mothers. They remain deltas until they either reach 13 years of age or are promoted or demoted.
Omega
This wolf was, for whatever reason, demoted. Whether it was for deceit, a defect, an injury, or tyranny, they are the lowest member of the pack. There does not need to be an omega. Occasionally, the omega may regain their delta status through acts of valor or bravery.
Omegas are not known by their given names. To the pack, they are Omega.
Elder
Elders are any wolves over 13 years of age. They are highly respected and are the primary caretakers and tutors of young pups.
Pup
These are the young of the pack. They stay in the camp for the first four or five months of life and then are allowed to watch hunts and practice battling with the deltas.

Band Ranks Explained
----------------------------------------------
Lead
This wolf has total control over all those below them. They are akin to an alpha, but are much more ruthless and gained their position by killing the previous Lead.
Second
This is usually the mate of, or next of kin to, the lead. They have less power than the lead, but they are still to be feared. If the lead is killed or leaves, the second usually leaves the band.
Member
These are the regular wolves in the band. They are all vicious creatures that were raised in brutal conditions; only the strongest survived past puphood. This rank consists of all ages. Any member over the age of 3 may challenge the lead.
