Territory
Densite
The densite is nestled into a large mountain which is bordered by a coniferous forest to the North of it, a wetlands to the East, a Plains to the South, and a Desert to the West.
The Alpha's Den
The one of the larger dens within the cavern system. This den is where both Alphas lay their head to rest and where they hold meetings with the Beta and Delta. This den can house at least 12 wolves at a time within it. It has a large crack within it where the light seeps in at the earling morning and illuminates the cave. The cave also has a curious rock formation that appears to be like two little "thrones". This is where the Alphas sit when meeting or taking reports, it's even a bit elevated a nice bit. To the south wall of the den is a large ledge where a pile of rabbit, deer, and other anime hides are laid together as a sort of bedding where they sleep. On the west wall is a opening where they can step out onto a large ledge and over look the territory, it even has protective stagmites around it to prevent one from falling off. This wall is usually hidden by snow during the Winter. Outside the den is a large circular area where you can see the entrance to the Beta and Delta Den, and a large corrider leading to the other regions within the mountain.
The Beta Den
This den is diagonal to right side of the Alpha's Den and horizontal to the Delta Den. This den isn't as large as the Alpha's den since there can only be up to one Beta at a time. However, family members of the Beta whether it be siblings, mate, parents, and children may reside in this den with them. The den can support up to 5 wolves resting within it. This den has a deep center within in where curiously a pit of sand is, no one knows how it got there but that's where it is. This den also has a curious rock formation that can double as a mini "throne" for said wolf to meet with others and take complaints of other wolces. On the south wall of the den there is a small descent into what could be called a "basement" the Beta may use it as they please, and it can easily be blocked of by a boulder. On the west wall they have a small growth of pyrenean buttercups, mountain harebells, and fireweeds, the scent perfumes the cave and gives it a lovely aroma.
The Delta Den
This den is diagonal to the left side of the Alpha Den and horizontal to the Beta Den. Much like the Beta Den, it isn't as large since there is only one Delta at a time. Also again, family members and mates may reside in this den with the Delta. This den is similar in size to the Beta, being able to support up to 5 wolves residing within it. This den is more of an open den with a large clear wall to the east side of it, and a long and rocky trail that leads down into the forest. This exit is not usually used as it is hazardous and is usually blocked off. It's quite annoying at times, especially when a random mountain goat decides to pop in the den, or during the winter when mounds of snow block the lighting. In the center of the den is a deep pit where many animal skins lay, this is where the Delta usually sleeps. The Delta doesn't have a fancy "throne" but the have a rock they can prop themselves on to sit.
The Sentinal's Den
Once you leave the long corrider from the area of high ranking wolves, you'll find the dens of the middle ranking wolves. The den of the Sentinals can hold exactly 4 wolves, and possibly have wiggle room for some guests. Their are four large and smooth ledges at the corner of each den that have animal skins for the Sentinals to rest on. They have a large pit in the middle with dirt that has some beautiful naupuka flowers growing within the soil. They also have a large area where they keep "waste" usually carcasses eaten. This den also has dim lighting.
The Apothecary and Resource Watcher's Den
Once you past the Sentinal Den you go down a deep descent to a cavern. It's quite a beautiful cavern, you can see vast amounts of glow worms, and a pool where the glow worms leave their excriment, but it's actually pretty luminescent poo, just don't try and get into it. Once you mast the cavern area you will find the largest den within the mountain. This den can hold up to 25 wolves at a time. Why were they given the largest den? They need it just in case a wolf needs to stay down for observation or be quarintined, and to treat multiple wolves at once and not have a crowded area. The first section of the den acually has grass and dirt, and a opening where the sun seeps in to give the plants life, and even a nice source of water. This is the Herb/Agriculture room where the herbs are grown [even if they're not in season] and stored. The next section is a large and warm cave area, it is not damp and stuffy, but quite inviting, this is where sick wolves rest and are treated. The walls are lined with soft pelts and moss for them to sleep on, and there is a narrow area that leads down into an area where a medium sized lava pit is, this is what heats the room above, and in the summer they open a small area to let snow it to chill the space and keep above rooms chill. The last area are the Sleeping Quarters where like the Sentinals there are four corners in this large area where the Apothecary and the apprentices sleep along with the Resource Watcher. They have a large water source in the middle that has an assortment of mountain herbs growin around it. Overall, it's quite a lovely den.
Head Warrior and Warriors Den
Once you go back up the entrace from the Den of the Apothecary and the Resource Watcher you have to walk down a large rocky hall, and turn a corner before going to the connected living area of the Head Warriors, Warriors and the Hunters and Sigmas. Once you walk in you are met by a wall and then to the right is the den for the Warriors and the Head Warriors. And to the left is the other den that will be explained later. When you do to the den for the Head Warrior and Warriors you'll find a large rectangular shape area that holds up to 12 wolves, and there are specific areas fro the wolves to sleep with what can be described as a carpet of grass along the middle of the area. And farther in the back is the area reserved for the Head Warrior. In that den it has a large ledge where the Head Warrior sleeps and then a small elevation where they give orders for the Warriors and talks about training. This den also has many "rug" like carcasses.
Hunters and Sigma's Den
Again, you are at the crossroads, if you turn left you find the dens for the Hunters and Sigmas. The hunter den has a similar shape to the Warrior's den with the rectangular shape, but instead of the grass they place hunted carcasses of animals as prizes in the center. Also the larger you bed with caracsses mean the better hunter you are. They have skull mounts to decorate the area as well and small sporatic flower and herbal growth. This area can also hold 12 wolves. In the back is a large circular area that holds up to 10 Sigmas, this are has lots of carcasses to decorate it along with a large pool of water in the middle that deep enough to swim in. And the circular corners has ledges seperated by rock walls that each Sigma has a large ledge to sleep on.
The Nursery
This den is where all pups are sent under the watch of an appointed wolf. This den has a large center, where the sleepy pups pile up when resting, and the center is full of moss, feathers, and soft furs and carcasses for them to rest on. This den has quite a large and spacious area for the pups to run around in and a small pool of water for them to splash in for amusement. Pups are allowed "field trips" to go peek in other dens, tag along with other members for a little bit and go outside the den to play for a while. Newborn pups are keept further back, where the area is the darkest and best spot, since newborns are blind, and there are 4 areas for mothers with pups to watch their pups play and chat with each other if they desired. It can also be a daycare for the pups who live in den with parents like the children of the Alpha, Beta, and Delta along with sometimes Warriors and Hunters.
The Omega's Area
This is the deepest and darkest part of the mountain. This place has no sense of comfort. The rocks are jagged and sharp, with a sparse tattered pelt that most fight over to sleep on. Not to mention it's cold and damp in this area. The area holds up to 6 Omegas at a time but there is no sense of privacy, and a wolf is assigned every morning to wake the Omegas up early to begin their duties of cleaning dens, running errands, and changing beddings for wolves.
The Hunting and Training Grounds
White Powder Mountains
This large mountain is what the wolves call home. It's a dangerous and perilous place but it's home for them. It is a large dormant volcanic mountain. The structure is sturdy and not seeming to be going anywhere anytime soon. This area is prone to avalanches and blizzards so one has to be careful. The mountain turns quite a beautiful green during the summer and spring months. And yes this mountain was a dormant volcano but the volcanic action ceased and died off. All that remains of it is the Lava Pits within the mountain. There is a large lake on the mountain as well it's Crystal Lake because of how it shines.

Forest of Ëoe
This large coniferous forest borders the North of the White Powder Mountains. The forest is a large expanse that could be described as a taiga that is part of a connecting Delta that is the Winding Whistle Wetlands which dumps off into the Sea of Orish. You can find most wolves hunting here considering the closeness to the Den. This is where the Trials all start. In the middle of the forest is a large clearing where the light pours in so splendidly- this is the site where the Sigma's duke it out under careful watch. It's known as Okame's Clearing. A little than 4 miles away from this clearing is the Salmon River, this river leads down to the White Rush Rapids which turn into the Rainbow Falls which then spills into the Winding Whistle Wetlands.

- Wild Boar , an extremely hard catch since they can kill wolves
- Unattended Bear Cubs
Predators
- Bears
- Coyotes
- Wild Boars, namely because they can gore a wolf with their tusks
White Rush Rapids
This is the section of the Salmon River that is very dangerous. It's is noted because of its strong and deadly currents, one can easily die her if they aren't strong enough to swim against the currents. This is where the swimming portion of the Trials take place. The young wolf is expected to swim against the currents and find a way to the bank before they reach the Rainbow Falls. No wolf is allowed to interfere so if they go over the falls then it's a wrap for that wolf, unless they miraculously survive and at that point they'll be disqualified.
