Rules
We live for each other, not ourselves.
This is the golden rule of the pack. Everything that is done, whether it is hunting, training or bringing new life into the world is done for the greater good of the pack. Bonds run deep and strong within the pack and thusly all activities are done for the benefit of all, not the individual.
Tradition is important.
All traditions and ceremonies are extremely important to the pack. It helps strengthen the bonds between members, increase morale and continue the teachings of wolves of the past. Traditions are taught at an early age and that eduction continues throughout the wolves entire life to ensure that they are never forgotten.
Our world is based on truth and strength.
Always ones to speak their minds, the pack believes that the truth is more important than lies, even if it means hurting another. Withholding the truth is a serious offense and may be punishable should one find the hidden truth. Punishment varies based upon the individual offenses.
Betray one, betray all.
Any wolf, whether part of the pack or an outsider, caught betraying the pack is to be severely punished. Should the wolf be from within the pack their punishment is often more severe than that of an outsider as they will have betrayed the trust and bonds of the pack as a whole. However, in the event of a first offense of an outsider, the Queen may choose to forgive them of the act if the wolf pledges their undying loyalty to the Queen. Should a second offense occur this forgiveness cannot be given again.

Ranks
Queen (Alpha): She is the leader of the pack. Born of the previous Queen, she is well versed in all aspects of pack life. Strong, determined and brave she will lead battles when necessary, believing that a Queen has as much reason to fight for her pack as the others do.
Princess: Generally the princess is the first born female of the current queen. However should the Queen not produce a female heir then one of her most trusted pack members will be chosen to follow her to the throne.
Royal Guards:(Beta) – These wolves are charged with protecting the Queen, both present and future, at all costs. They are brave, strong and completely loyal. Willing to put their life on the line to protect the packs Queen.
Royal Advisors:(Beta) - The Beta’s of the pack. These are some of the most trusted wolves in the Queens eye. For now there will only be two or three advisors, but as the pack grows there may be more.
Shamaness: The Shamaness is the healer of the pack and the performer of rituals. She is highly trained in her arts and is there to ensure that everything run smoothly. This rank is always held by a female and she will choose her successor and train them as she herself was trained. At this time there will only be one Shamaness in the pack, but more may be added as time goes by. Note: The Shamaness may not be a true Shaman, she can be a pseudo-shaman, who believes that what she sees and hears is real and the pack believes these things without a doubt.
Head Warrior: Info coming soon
Warriors: The default rank of the pack. All wolves are trained in the art of war from the time they open their eyes to the time they take their last breath they are always training to become the best warrior within the pack. Honor comes to those who show themselves to excel at their duties to keep the pack safe at all times. When they are not training these wolves will be off hunting or checking the borders for any intruders.
Crafters: All the armor and decorations that the wolves wear doesn’t make itself. These wolfs craft the various pieces of armor from things they find within the forest, or on occasion steal it from the two leggers camps. Position usually held by females, though the odd male may be a crafter as well.
Nanny: Those who look after the puppies in the pack while members are busy training or hunting. They are often omegas but can be of any rank. These wolves are often the more caring members of the pack and thusly are more suited to looking after the young than living the lives of warriors.
Queens Consort (King): Pretty self-explanatory. This is the male with whom the Queen will have litters with. He is loyal to her 100% and would never, ever think about leaving her for another female. If he did, then he would be severely punished, either killed or run out of the pack completely.
The Favored: The highest rank a male can obtain outside of Queen's Consort. These males have shown to be exceptionally loyal to the pack and are deserving of a much higher rank than slave. They are hunters, favored mates of the females or warriors. All in all, they have worked hard to reach this rank but they know that the smallest slip up will send them back to being a slave or run out of the pack.
Attendants: Those males that have proved themselves to be loyal to the pack and more useful than the slaves are given the rank of attendant. They are often the hunters of the pack, but are also charged in doing whatever any female orders them to do.
Slaves: The lowest rank within the pack, most often comprised of males, though some females may hold this role if they show themselves to be not worthy of warrior rank. These are often omegas and vagabonds.

Pack Location and Layout
 Antianeira lies in an area with mixed dense forests and semi-mountainous zones. With hard packed ground it is the ideal place for wolves who wish to push themselves in every way, be it training, hunting or just living. A large river runs through the eastern portion of the territory provided member with fresh, clean water to drink as well as fish to catch for those with that skill. Due to the densely packed forest hunting is more of a team effort than anything else as both prey and predator are hindered by the trees. Dens are located centrally in the territory. The largest and most central den belongs to the Queen of the pack, and her chosen mate when she should allow it. The den is often decorated with antlers, feathers, shells, rocks and anything else that members happen upon to show their tribute to the Alpha female. The dens surrounding the Queens are a mix of her advisors and guards. The next dens belong to the warriors, whose dens form a ring around the Queens central den. All other remaining female taken dens lie on the outskirts of the warriors dens. Those belonging to males are furthest from the females dens and their protection. These far off dens act as a buffer zone should an attack come to the pack from outsiders.
