Welcome to Soteria.
♤♡◇♧
Newmoss: Located at the heart of Soteria, and serving as the Nursery, Newmoss is an area of sanctity. It is a safe space, one where she-wolves go to nest, and where all pups are required to live under the protection of the Pupsitters. It's also highly guarded, and only a select few are allowed inside.
Hillfall: Made up of a daunting islet emerging from surrounding waters with ranging rivers and waterfalls, Hillfall isn't called the "River's Throne" for nothing. It's elevated enough for it's residents to overlook most of Soteria. This where the few trusted Betas and Alphas reside, alongside their Queen. Despite this, the Queen is very rarely seen...
The Luminata: A dark place shrouded by thick foliage, only illuminated by the bioluminescence, silk worms, and fireflies, hence the name. Curled around the center of Soteria, this area serves as a communal place, where most of the population resides, which are the Deltas. The Luminata is always bustling [and often being patrolled by higher-up wolves], which is why some call it "Firefly Cove".
Waterfault and Earthpass: Unbeknownst to the wolves, Waterfault and Earthpass are actually abandoned mineshafts crafted by humans. They are two large underground tunnels that range all throughout Soteria, consisting of four dens/factions: Noreast, Esuth, Souden, and Westen. Some see it as undesirable, but Earthpass is actually an oasis of sorts. Though some areas are semi-flooded, the tunnels are large enough for the wolves to make the best of it. However, wolves have nicknamed it "The Slums", due to it's Omega residents. Many don't realize that Waterfault and Earthpass are meant to shelter the Omegas, as they are important to wolf society, not to degrade them.

Here, the wolves have established a hierarchy based on scent and merit, as such:
The Alpha: There are very few Alphas, usually with those being the Queen, the next heir, or any wolf worthy of this faction. The Alpha holds power over every wolf in the pack, and their words are law. The scent an Alpha gives off is powerful, and at the height of their emotions, it can bring even the strongest of Betas to their knees. If there are too many Alphas, it can bring disorder and unbalance to the hierarchy.
Stats: 400+ [with exceptions]
♤♡◇♧
The Betas: These are the selected few wolves who show promise. They act as second-in-commands to their Queen, keeping all wolves below them in place. Betas are most likely to be Scouts, Lead Hunters, Guards, or Pupsitters. Their scent is actually the weakest of the wolves, because of how controlled it is. However, if they lash out, it can numb the senses.
Stats: 300-400
♤♡◇♧
The Deltas: These are what makes the most of a pack. Deltas are considered the "normal" individuals of a population. Though they hold more responsibility than Omegas, they are not seen as a threat and don't hold that much power over them. Most Deltas can become Hunters, Scouts, or Herbalists. Their scent is refreshing and very neutral, not spiking at all when they become emotional.
Stats: 250-300
♤♡◇♧
The Omegas: The lowest of the spectrum, these wolves take the brunt of it all. They are classified as the weakest, and are seen as the pack's source of entertainment and are targeted as outlets. Even though they are often bullied, their role as Omegas is important to the integrity of the hierarchy. Their scent is the most out of control, with a constant strong aroma that would attract any wolf. This is why Omegas are hidden away from most of the pack.
Stats: anything below 250
