Coal Valley Pack
Currently run by Yaafsai and Uansah
The Coal Valley is a region along the Fool's Gold River, dotted with abandoned mines. The story goes that gold was found in the river, leading to a flood of mining activity along the Valley and the founding of Allswell, a half-abandoned town situated between a popular fishing spot to the north and large lake to the south. Very little gold was actually found in the mines, and the supply in the river soon dwindled, but what the miners did find, was coal. Lots and lots of coal. The Gold River colloquially became the Fool's Gold River, eventually leading to the original name falling out of use entirely, and the valley was named by the fortune seekers hoping to regain some of their lost earnings. Over time, the Coal Valley mines caused massive subsidence in the area and were all abandoned, with the town changing it's primary industry to camping and tourism.
The wolves are under conservation protection, and Coal Valley is considered a site of historical importance, so they are rarely bothered. However, all the nearby packs are very avoidant of the town and lake during the summer months, when tourists and wannabe hunters flock to the area. The Coal Valley pack raise their pups in a half collapsed mine entrance that the first Leader (and founder of the pack), Xaasa, dug out. A large, sturdy beam of wood lies collapsed, held up at one end by a jutting piece a rock, which shelters the entrance to their den. A clearing of flat packed earth lies just outside the mine, with the wolves using the old human paths to reach it. Young Coal Valley pups are not allowed further down the hillside, as an unusually narrow and fast stretch of the river lies below the pack's chosen den site.
Lore and Info
Read the short stories for my pack here! Latest story posted: Aruthe's Choice pt 2
6th Nov 2020: Some wolves will now have summaries of their activities for each year in their bios! This makes it easier for me to keep up with ny story ideas before writing them out fully, though I plan to spend a few days dedicated to writing, so I don't lag too far behind.
To make things simple "Year 1" is the formation of the pack, and each subsequent in-game year is numbered accordingly. If a wolf was born in the 3rd spring, for example, their bio would start at Year 3.
21st Mar 2021: Wolves now have codes in their footnote to keep track of who they're related to. Any lead pair pup is designated LP regardless of the codes of their parents, but I'll probably still write the relatives codes anyway.
All wolves get a code upon entering the pack. If they are gen 1 their code is 2 letters and 0.If they are gen 2+ their codes are that of their ancestors, unless they are unrelated to all other wolves in the pack or are the pup of another lead pair. In that case, they get a completely new code, but instead of 0 the number is 1 (e.g. LL1)
e.g. A puppy's code is SKST/PX3.1
SKST is the code of the mother, you can tell she is a gen two wolf because there are four letters instead of two. PX is the code of the father, a gen one male. The number 3 designates the puppy as gen three, and .1 means it is the first litter of the pair.
10th Jan 2021: The "Koal Vahi" wolves become restless as more and more elders die. Perhaps they won't stay in the valley for much longer?
