Notes for general pack lore:

General vibe - pack decisions are made collaboratively. all wolves are considered to have equal status, but different responsibilities within the pack. Pack members are expected to contribute what they can to the pack.

pack structure: 

- Most pack decisions are made by a council of experienced wolves, headed by the lead wolf. There is also a pack meeting each full moon, moderated by the council, where all pack members can voice their concerns and opinions. Big decisions, such as moving to new territory, are made in consultation with the entire pack. 

Council members:

Lead Wolf - responsible for managing pack resources, defending pack, solving disputes, handling negotiations with other packs, recruiting new pack members, helping pack members who want to leave find another pack.  assists with hunting and foraging for herbs and building supplies. also responsible for leading/moderating council and pack meetings. 

Scouts - responsible for scouting new territory, collecting resources, and intelligence gathering. may assist lead wolf with pack defense.

Lead Hunters - lead hunting parties; each hunting party generally nominates a lead hunter to act as their representative in council. responsible for managing hunters within their party and collaborating with other hunting parties to keep the pack fed. 

Lead pupsitter - in charge of protecting and educating pups, as well as taking care of elders. Lead pupsitter is in charge of ensuring all pack members are cared for. The lead pupsitter is also responsible for family planning, and makes sure that pack growth doesn't outpace the available resources. Lead pupsitters are expected act as mediators in pack disputes when the lead wolf is unavailable or involved in the conflict. 

Herbalists - Herbalists are in charge of pack health, including healing and foraging for herbs. They are responsible for managing disease outbreaks and quarantine zones. 

Breeding male - if the breeding male does not hold one of the above council positions, they are responsible for family planning along with the lead pupsitter.  

Elders - retired or semi-retired elders are not automatically council members, but are generally invited to council meetings to help advise. Elders with specific expertise may be made formal council members, and given relevant responsibilities (e.g. a retired hunter may be asked to assist the current lead hunters in managing hunting parties)
