Redfeather Pack

Alpha | Arnfinn

[As decreed by the first alpha, Fenn, the Redfeather alpha is chosen by the pack, rather than singled out by the previous alpha from among their own offspring. Not necessarily the strongest, or the wisest, the alpha will be a wolf liked or respected by all. This is changing somewhat, however, after the third Redfeather alpha, Ātaahua, influenced the pack to choose her brother as her successor.]

The Inner Circle | Raalia, Nilou, Drelas, Sorcor, Sirion

[Members of the pack chosen by the alpha to keep order and advise on day-to-day matters like hunting, training and defense, and members of the pack who have earned the right to advise the alpha in tough decisions by way of previous service as well as age and experience.]

The Pack

[The spine and heart of the pack are its ordinary members; the hunters, the scouts, the pupsitters, and the pups themselves.]

The Foundlings

[All those young ones who come into the pack via rescue by hunting party or by trade from allies or other packs. The new blood to strengthen the pack and create alliances.]

The Visitors

[Wolves passing through on their way to where they're going. Like the wolves for sale in the Wayfinding den, and like you! That is to say, thanks for reading all this mess! :D]

The Redfeathers' hollow is situated in a lush glade just over a low rise past the bank of the river. Large, flat stones that look like they've rolled down from the mountainside and had their tops cut off are scattered throughout, and one can always find at least one Redfeather lounging on one of them. Wolves mill about in the center of the hollow sharing prey, telling stories, playing with pups or giving reports of their recent outings to their alpha.

Diplomacy

[Where the alpha, the Strong & the younger of the Wise sleep. A vast, twisted, viciously spined briar thicket across the hollow from the other dens with beautiful orange flowering trumpet vines weaving their way throughout.]

Finesse

[The majority of the pack sleeps outside under the canopy, and among the boulders & rock formations around the hollow.]

Initiative

[The young of the pack are responsible for the upkeep and, when necessary, expansion of a classic dugout den in the slope between the hollow and the riverbank. In a bout of ingenuity and cheek, some of the young ones have added a back entrance that opens out on the other side of the slope facing the river for quick escapes and unnoticed night outings.]

Relief

[An enormous petrified hollow tree stump nearby the Initiative den where the pack's herbalist and elderly live, through which lie several old tunnels leading to whelping dens and another hollowed briar thicket for the sick.]
