The Upbringing
Those new to the Moongate or to this world are mandated to participate in The Upbringing - a rigorous training and education program aimed to produce strong and capable pack members. At the Camp in the pass, participants live and train, led by Captains and separated into two factions - the Everwhite and the Silverhorn. During their training season, members typically learn, spar, eat, and sleep only within their factions. Each faction rotates through the gates for training exercises, often splitting into smaller groups to complete drills and war games against each other. On occasion, tournaments are held between the factions to determine top talent.

 The Camp
Physical training In order to prepare physically, basic training focuses on improving stamina and endurance while traversing the steep slopes and thin air, and also building a tolerance to the freezing temperatures and harsh winds of the high mountains. Those training are fed to a level just above hungry - this not only helps to develop lean bodies and preserve rations, but also allows the members to ignore the feeling of hunger in battle. In addition to this conditioning, basic combat is demonstrated and practiced through athletic drills and light sparring. Advanced training furthers these lessons with higher intensity and a focus on offensive and defensive maneuvers, battle strategies, and medical prowess.
Mental conditioning To hone the proper Moongate mindset, leaders groom specific characteristics and offer strict discipline with value-based education. Loyalty, bravery, and the importance of the pack over the individual is strongly emphasized. Cowardice, insubordination, and reckless endangerment are met with harsh punishment. Rivalries and competitions are frequent, and members are encouraged to solve their disputes via sparring to foster morale and humility. The Moongate’s history, laws, and traditions are taught through stories and songs of valor and feats of greatness. Advanced topics may concern expanded histories and territory knowledge, politics and foreign affairs, and tactical subterfuge.
List of faction members:
exclaim All existing pack members have been rolled for and their faction during The Upbringing determined! These factions are for added flavor, and would be something like 'houses' the wolf would have belonged to during their time in training. They may have a sense of pride for belonging to either, and may have memories of faction-versus-faction tournaments in their youth.
