The chorus of howling resonates off the surrounding mountains, rides along the lake's ripples, and swims through the air like several beautiful birds. It is a song of joy, of reverence, of life. Whether it be a jubilant celebration of new life, or a mournful commemoration of a life since passed, expect to hear the melodious harmony of canid voices against the mountain-formed wind.

Soon after the mountain wolves' song dies down, a new one arises, not in reply, but instead in common interest. A similar celebration takes place at the base of the trees, skipping over stones, splashing through the stream. Yips of young pups are audible through the wooden acoustics, accenting their elders' voices.

The Packs

Sunrise Pack- Current alpha is female; The pack lives on some hilly plains in the shadow of a mountain. There is a shallow lake below the camp. The dens are caves in large boulders or carved into the sides of the mountain facing the east. The highest dens on the mountainside are occupied by the higher ranked wolves and their mates. The ones closest to the lake (slightly damper and colder) and in the lowest rockfaces are occupied by the lower ranked wolves. The Nursery is located in the warmest, most accessible spot from the lake. All of the Apprentices sleep in one huge den and the Tenderfeet in another, both near the lake. Scouts stay the furthermost away from camp and closest to the borders.

Duskfall Pack- Current alpha is female; The pack lives in eye shot of the western side of the mountain. The westernmost point of the territory is dense forest and the easternmost point is flat plains. In the middle of the territory is wooded shrubland. The camp is located in the westernmost area of the shrublands, the dens are made in the bushes and dug under the roots of large trees. The select few that know how to climb trees live in them. A stream, fed by the nearby river, runs around the perimeter of camp and throughout the territory. Apprentices and Tenderfeet sleep in their own individual dens scattered around. The nursery is a large community den that sits just outside of camp; the entrance is shrouded by bushes. Scouts stay the furthermost away from camp and closest to the borders.

●●●Epsilon --- Alpha's mate
●●●Upsilon --- Beta's mate
● Deltas (2) --- Young wolves next in line for alpha/beta; chosen as pups/young adols to lead after alpha/beta steps down - They posess no true status (i.e. - not above or below the Zeta), but they are still higher-classed wolves as they are most likely children of the higher-ups, especially the alpha or beta.
