"We are the elders, those who have lived before you and has served our years dutifully to the pack. Here we rest until our final moons, sharing stories of the past and whispering names to be passed through generations, We are wise, Not all kind but helpful towards the Alpha and guiding towards the newer generation until the final day where we shall join our Ancestors and walk among them in their star-filled journey."Wallowing Stars ᛯ
Wolves who have given many of their years to the pack until they are no longer as fast as they used to be, as strong as they once were, as alert as a young wolf would be. They retire to this den of warmth and comfort, lined with various berries and the finest pelts of fur to ease their sore joints so they can spend their final moons or even days in the comfort and safety of a den, all wolves respect the elders as they have lived many years before them and gave their all towards the pack before them just as the ones before the elders themselves did. Mostly Fledglings will change the elders' bedding and bring them food, clean the ticks from their fur and help them to the outside of the cave and dens so they may tend to any bodily needs, but if there are no Fledglings then the younger warriors will carry out this duty.
A den between the Healer's den and the Whelping Den, the entrance is flocked by thick moss and lichen to keep the cold and other elements out of the den and provide the elders comfort and warmth. wolves of the years 6 and up will retire here to live out the last of their days in peace while the younger generations fill in the spots they left behind, the elders are also responsible for preparing a member who has passed away for one last vigil by rubbing their body with herbs and thick scented berries to chase away the scent of death, by morning they will help escort the body to the burial place where the passed member can rest in peace.
