The Snow Ghosts

Welcome to The Snow Ghosts

This is a fresh new pack that lives within the mountains, slowly finding their way around new territories and other wolf packs. 

The Snow Ghosts live by a code that was formed by Swan, Swift On Her Paws, NightNose, and Boulder during the early formation days of the pack. It is called 'Code of Ghost' which intends to guide and conduct pack members' behavior both inside the pack as well as towards outsiders. Packs that are allied with The Snow Ghosts are treated with equal respect.

Code of Ghost

• No 'ghost' (wolf) left behind
• Safety and security of all sprites (pups) come first
• Loyalty to the pack (your fellow ghosts)
• Disagreements must be settled by the end of the day (precisely when the moon reaches the center of the sky), pack unity is a priority. 
• Phantom's word is final

Ranking in  The Snow Ghosts follows a hierarchy based on the overall experience of a wolf (stats), and their age and role in the pack also affect their ranking. Each rank comes with a title that is used only among members of The Snow Ghosts. Rankings go as followed and are ranked from highest to lowest:

• Phantom: Alpha wolves hold this title and are addressed as either "Phantom" or saying their naked name after Phantom (ex. Phantom Swan). This title would be expected to be used by wolves who are not close family or high in rank. Age does not matter here, but alphas are expected to be of higher experience (stats).
• Specter: This title refers to the healer of the pack and is revered with much respect because of their ability to cure fellow ghosts. The Specter must be very wise and very intelligent (high stats in wisdom, smarts). Young ghosts are chosen by the current Specter, ensuring that whoever is next in line is suitable for the position (this is figured out through personal interaction with younger wolves).
• Wraith: The title of Wraith goes to the oldest and most experienced hunter wolf, no matter their position in the hunt (experience trumps age). They are respected for their knowledge of hunting and are responsible for training other hunter ghosts. There can be more than one Wraith depending on the size of the pack.
• Ghoul: The title of Ghoul is specific to scouting ghosts and is given to scouting ghosts no matter their age or experience. The scouting ghost with the most experience in scouting does receive more respect however and is recognized and respected by higher ranks. If a sprite (pup) ever goes missing, Ghouls are expected to track them and return them to the safety of the pack.
• Spirit: This role is parallel to pupsitting and is typically assigned to ghosts who have had pups before or have dispositions that are perfect for nurturing sprites (puppies). Age must be older than 1 yr and 5 months. Spirits don't receive as much respect compared to other ranks because their role doesn't require them to leave camp. The role of Spirit is often underestimated, especially when taking care of multiple pups.
• Ghost: Title given to wolves who are not holding leadership positions. This includes mainly other hunters and wolves who hold no other position. 
• Shadow: This title is given to adolescent wolves, specifically because they are shadowing older ghosts and their positions in the pack, hoping to come up with ideas of what role they would hope to play in the future.
• Sprite: This title is specifically for puppies under the age of 5 months.
