• No Violence/Fighting on pack grounds
  This pack is very sweet and spiritual, This being said the alpha and his sister will not stand for violence on pack grounds. If you have beef with another wolf handle it by sparing off grounds.
  
• No Killing/Harming pack members or puppies
  Doing so could result in death or banishment. allies may also see said wolf as an outcast. [Neither of theses actions will be taken without a request from said player] a assassin will be hired to kill the wolf who kills pack members/puppies to the dismay of the alpha
  
• Outsiders will need permission to enter
  In order to come to the pack you will need to request a hearing from the pack alpha,he will judge your wolf's character as a whole before confiding in a few of his top ranks about letting your wolf in.
  
• What the alpha says goes.
  It is required excited to obey the alpha, disobeying him or the beta could result in banishment. mind your P's and Q's when talking to the alpha. give respect and you get respect
  
• Respect the dead.
  If you kill prey for food make sure to request a spirit dancers blessing, to ferry the soul of the animal into the next life, make sure to thank it for the nourishment. however if you revised meat in a trade this is not required as you yourself didn't take the action of taking a life, but it is nice to be thankful anyways.
  
• All familiars are our friends
  we will love and accept all familiars as members of the pack rouge or bonded. all have a place in the pact. familurs can take the ranks of Selkie:: ,Eyes,Tears And Fins
  
• Mating outside the pack is encouraged
  More so with allies than rogue wolves, however if a rogue wolf breeds with a pack wolf they must stay till the pups are of age to care for themselves, the Selkie will not allow for puppies out in the world without ampule protection, once they are of age they can chooses to leave or stay within the pack.

Map Here
(location may change) But the pack for right now till official dwells in kells run.

Siren's Peak
located south of the dens a large peak with a large rock over hang sits, there at the top is the alphas den its buried deep within the rock face with a stone path way leading up to the overhang witch is the alphas perch where he oversees the pack and has meetings with his beta and other higher ups/leaders beneath the peak's perch to the left and right are the heir and seer dens they are not to far but are rather ampule dens housing the seers and heirs. directly in rock face beneath the peek is the beta's den also housing the beta's family it is large in size

Pack Square
here is where most of the traffic can be observed with trading post, the festival stage and even the announcement bird to check out. this serves as a gathering point as-well as a highway threw the pack lands for the selkie, decorated in foliage,drift wood and shells you can hear wolves talk and meet up while shell mobiles rattle softly in the wind, the trading post are stocked with goodies that the traveling merchants come to trade from other allied packs and even rare finds outside the packs territory, the stage while empty most of the time is where the dancers perform and sometimes practice in between ceremonial performances and festivals. lastly the bird in the center only when there is announcements from the alpha/seer or any other higher ups letting the packs know of warnings,events,ceremony, puppy births and other news.

Seaside cliff Dens
south east and south west of the central part of the pack are the dens, in the center of the den housing are several natural dens weathered down from natural events and even animals intervention though a bit drafty with a bit of creativity they have been made livable with the help of crafters and other wolves in the pack. divided with a path way leading to the south where sirens peek , with guest dens to the right and residential dens to the left.

Healer's circle

located near the north of the central part of the pack is a large tree decorated in nets, shells hanging from tree branch to branch like a carriage, each little draped net is entangled by vines and flowers of all kinds. theses serve as storage for the healers. known as the healers stock, birds sort their ingredients, below that tree is where the head healer oversees the creation of many new balms, herb mixtures of all kinds, teaching and even helping others. around the healers tree are many work stations for each of the other healers to work at. not far off are a few dens for the sick and a stock pile of fresh and dried food for them even a well for water.

Gathers point

this area is east of the central part of the pack, it is shared by hunters and gatherers alike, they share a hold in witch they all prep and store ingredients and food, this den hold is at the top of a cliff-side with several storage holds once ones full they move on to the next to fill it with what they gather. fresh meet is kept in moderation some left to dry out in controlled environments to keep the meat fresh longer.

Artisan Cove

a place to the north east of gathers point and healers Circle where the crafters brainstorm and work with their familiars to create new objects, they make many things from baskets,nets shell containers for balms and herbs and even water skins to transport water they are a very creative bunch

 

[-Ghastly Demise-]

The selkie are a very caring and spiritual pack, They care for rather than fight, the heal rather than harm, they mostly keep to themselves.Though they are very passive that doses not stop them from defending themselves. Within this pack every wolf and familiar has their place, no one is left out, no one doses nothing, each and every member has their own role.
In this pack you I will not find Assassins or fighters, despite that there are hunters, merchants,healers,caretakers, the works, but nothing that deals in fighting or harming other wolves. they leave that to their allies, and in return they offer their salves and services of their den mothers and caretakers. on rare occasion they will hold ceremony for a passing of a wolf or familiar upon request.

Selkie tend to have quite a few traveling merchants that travel between allied packs and rouge wolves upon job request, dealing in trades and deliveries back and froth, sometimes accompanied by an guard or assassin from another pack, or bears or bucks for defense.

Selkie also have a few habits, they tend to collect shells,coral drift wood and shiny stones, washed up along the banks of kells run on the back side of the mountains close to the ocean. they will also take in orphan pups without a second thought.

[-Ghastly Demise-]

A blossoming pack well known for their caring nature and relationships between quite a few packs, a middle ground between some packs to keep the peace or to serve as safe grounds for trades or meat ups, even passerby safe haven for the night. a safe temporary den, food in their bellies and help with healing if needed.

However, due to a tragedy that struck them one summer they lost so much. and now have so little. A horrible tsunami struck, their home washing away much of their pack and even their alpha and his mate, Nor only remains a small handful of wolves, The heir to the pack, and now alpha Whim of the sea, and his sister Dances on waves, Saved by their caretaker Tithe that faithful day.

The heirs mourned their parents for many moons, going as far as not to eat for so long, but thanks to their caretaker they managed to survive with some tough love and guidance. As many moons more passed and the siblings grew they all went on nursing their wounds and hearts, they searched long and far before finding a new home on the other side of The run.

now they are all in a much safer hold with a fresh start Whim of the sea long with dances on waves are beginning to slowly rebuild the pack, Dances on waves became a healer, taking a few moons to go off and stud medicine around kells. when dances on waves returned back home and taking her rightful place as healer in the pack. However along the way she found an orphan pup who she named ripples in the azure sea. he later went off on his own to join the crows at the heart brake of dances on waves.


Now the siblings are working together to regain the pack's lost glory.
Every summer the pack holds a ceremony to morn their lost members and the previous alpha and his mate. during this time the siblings will refuses to eat for a week, and will remain in their dens, for a majority of the memorial. after the ceremony is passed they will have a feast the fallowing week.

 

[-Ghastly Demise-]

Many years have the Selkie been in the world of kells, some say even since the beginning of it's time, others say they appeared out of nowhere.But the thing is everything and every wolf come from somewhere,however there is a rumor; It however is more so a tale about the pack.
It started long ago, the late alpha and his mate along with a vast majority of their members went missing, leaving being only a small handful of wolves and their soon to be alpha, It was all beaches of a Tsunami. but that's not the rumors will tell you, they will say that the alpha and his mate along with the rest of their pack where called away, called by the sea by the selkie folk they belong to. You see this is rumor began because many wolves thought the selkie wolves where the skins of selkie.

You see the selkie are a mystical creature thought to live beneath the waters of kells. Selkie are considered grater seals, legend tells that upon going up to sure they shed their seal skin. and upon doing so leaves them vulnerable, if a selkie skin is stolen they become the wives of those who steal their seal skin, so legend has it that the selkie took their seal skins to a sea witch, upon enchanting it when removed the skin becomes a wolf, seeing as it was rare for man to mess with wolves the selkie found it safer to hide their skins as the pelt of a wolf. due to the benevolent nature of the selkie, theses wolves too gained the persona of their selkie equivalent. Kind,caring and passive in nature.

This all lead to the story being told far and wide,generation to generation, now that the pack is making a comeback the legend is once again being told among wolves, weather its rogue wolves merchants or even just a animal telling their story. However, it is up to you to decide for yourself: Are the really the living selkie skins that the legend says? Or are they just wolves that admire the sea and have nothing more then good will towards other wolves?

Joining ceremony

There is an ORP with an explanation from the alpha about how to take part in the trial, what to do, where to go the general info, from there will also be forums for turning in your trials, you are more than welcome to communicate with the alpha about your trial Ask questions and be and communicate with the general pack who will be there to welcome the trial guest.

Joining Trial

The trail is obviously how you get in to the pack, there is no 100% grantee for joining as joining will be a bit strict aside from those already in the pack as the originals who are remnants of the late alphas pack. The trail will be a bit difficult, it will be an RNG based survival trial, your wolf will need to survive a certain amount of time to test endurance, loyalty, and resourcefulness. though this pack works together as a whole the alpha wants to make sure if your wolf is separated for any reason or in danger that they can survive till help arrives or they can save themselves.

Pleases make sure to post your trial in the Rivers Run as a [Solo] RP! your form goes here in this thread!

_______________________________________

Create a Solo based on the trial below please make sure to to roll with each post aside from the first Initial post witch will serve as your introduction/reaction in your first post please post your cert of your wolf as-well please and thank you <3
(Puppies and sick wolves not allowed to take trial till healed/grown)



It has to be done, they need to make sure they are not accepting a wolf that has devious intent will enter in to the peaceful pack and cause trouble for them and their alliances.

Whim of the sea sends you of to the beach, there you will stay their and survive on your own for the next week but he ask that you record every kill you make for food, how much you eat and the method of survival, he warns you that the tide will rise high at night so you need make sure you find the right spot to make a temporary den.

As you arrive at the beach there are caves near the water side, steep mountain sides cradling the ocean and its inhabitants. you see a few water lines among the rocks and growth algae even barnacles and creatures creeping up the sides of the rock face. there is a pathway up the mountain side but its steep and the rocks are sharp. their are a few tide pools and creatures within. but no source of fresh water to drink for a few miles back.
How will your wolf survive the day and night cycles, what will they do if they find themselves being meet with the high tide? will they panic or keep their cool working it out calmly and with haste. it takes time for the water to rise. the higher the moon the higher the tide.

when they finish the trial return to the pack camping grounds report to your alpha and tell him your plea. max 500 words -- Minimum Of 150 Words!
each post = 1 day you are required to survive 7 days at the end provide a rp of your wolf returning to the alpha and stating their plee

Roll 1 D10 each day to see if your wolf catches food Odd numbers besides 10 no catch Even numbers are a catch. a 10 is double catch, this can be desert rabbit, fish or other forms of food such as already dead animals ETC.

for water your wolf will have to get creative will they travel back to the small lake they saw miles away from their camp or will they be creative and obtain fresh water other ways? you can only go so long without water. and food

Puppy welcoming ceremony

With every litter birth is a small ceremony , the alpha and head healer will visit the mother with gifts, the healer will provide a small pack of herbs and balms for the mother to care for their pups and herself, while the alpha will provide his blessing and even a package of meats for the mother to eat, freshly caught by himself.
