*Packs* Acharus Ingenuo Muertre	Visit us at our new location! Carpe Noctem	Conditions Season: Winter Month: Febuary Breeding: Yes Birthing: Yes Mating Application General Weather: Winter is almost over, but it's starting to get into the rougher part of Winter, where all the blizzards and snowstorms seem to come fairly easily. Wolves should stay sheltered with their newborn pups because of this. Deep snow covers most of the lands, and some bodies are turned into ice by this time.

Tsukoma Hills Such vastness is abysmal and this land reaches far in all directions; north, east, south, and west. The hills reach no higher than a mountain, the mounds lifting to the sky with the limitless grasses blowing within the air. This area, so vast and jarring, is difficult to trod upon. One would have to run through the crevasses of the hills to quickly cross this land, but even that is a difficult task at hand. Prey usually comes here to graze upon the grass, for there are always grasses not yet walked upon, ready for eating. For herbivores, this place if paradise. Many bushes dot the area, whether it is upon a hill or in a ditch. Carnivores also flock to the area in hopes of catching some game to feast upon. In some areas, the grass rises high, sometimes lengthy enough to hide a wolf. But in most cases, prey tend avoid such areas. There is a hill, in the far south, which basically allows a fantastic view of the lands. To get a glance from atop this hill is to see everything Tsukoma Hills has to offer.

Crystal Tear Forest Tall conifers loom several hundred feet in the air. Spruce, the most abundant of the many varieties, grows in a forest where frost seems to permanently cling to the limbs of the trees. Tiny springs of grass grow—appearing to be frozen in place—though not much can penetrate through the permafrost, which lies upon much of the ground. But, there is also beauty here. When the sun gleams off of the frost it looks like crystal tears. The trees make the forest dense and dark, though in the center of it all is a clearing, made up of small plants too far away sun to grow. But that doesn’t mean the sun doesn’t make it’s way into the clearing … and when it does … it glints upon the frost that has long since been settled upon the tree branches and needles, brilliantly sparkling, dancing as the wind gently blows.

Wisp of Death Desert Miles upon thousands of miles of sand cover this place and the desert heat is grueling for those unused to or unsettled to its weather pattern. There is very little, if any vegetation found here save for the odd oasis, which is too far away from anything to be a safe haven. But the sun is the harshest of all … it can be a killer, especially during the midday. Vultures seem to have found a place here upon this wasteland as well as other vile creatures that live beneath the sands. Yet there are great mysteries that loom on this type of topography, where sand storms can form instantaneously and bury one alive… or uncover ancient treasures never before seen. Ancient tombs—what humans call pyramids—rise from the steaming earth. However, very few are fully uncovered, so it is difficult to reach them. Here, too, a Sphinx rises, uncovered by the most recent sandstorm where it has been found. One wonders how it came to be there, how any creature could have formed something so unique and strange. Here, the doors to the tomb are open, though a curse is written upon the walls in hieroglyphics. Many booby-traps lie hidden within.

Robur Jungle Enormous leaves the size of animals grow here upon these trees and ferns. Gorgeous greens of varying hues… teals, turquoises, hunter greens and more. Adding a splash of color to the scenery are the tropical fruits that grow on the trees and other plants, while up above, one can hear the cry of the baboon and the growl of the jungle cats. It’s quite easy to hide in the thick vegetation. Deep within these forested compounds is a stream, one that weaves its way through the jungle. It’s colors are dark and murky due to the rocks and minerals found within it, and though it is not the best tasting water around, it still staves off hydration. Although there are parts within it where piranhas are ever present, so watch out. Image	3	14	Dec 24 2007, 07:44 PM In: A Darkness Coming In By: Exotique

Taranis Savanna Ah, a breath of fresh air is always available. There's a calm serenity that surrounds this land, some strange and happy aura that makes everything radiate warmth and glow like the sun itself. However, it's a vast expanse of literally nothing except for burnt, yellow grass and wide open sky. The sun spills its warm rays upon this land, lest its mighty self is blocked by the clouds that are both ominous and breathtaking. A large tree is erected in nearly the center of the land, layers upon layers of lush, green vegetation, that is seemingly the only green in this area. In the distance, though it is extremely far off, a forest lines the outside, obviously showing a new terrain of which a wolf can explore. It seems no wolf should step foot in this land, it seems lions should instead prowl, but this is not so, which adds mystery to this happy place.

Damona's Meadow To start off, the distance, and we'll bring it closer. In the distance, quite far off, are mountains. They're ominous, a bit threatening, but like many inanimate objects in this land, have a aura of beauty captured within them. Now, do remember, these mountains are part of the landscape and not part of the actual meadow. Coming closer, the side of the mountain, vast and forested, until we reach the actual meadow. Green and bits of yellow grass start up, dominantly the lush green, until it becomes a vast meadow of emerald blades and jade vegetation that also portrays beauty. Loosely arranged were some small, small trees, and shrubs that lie around them like little imps. Clouds are usually found here, which is good in the summer for it provides shade, especially good because Damona's Meadow is a high point of this world.

Epona Pond Now, Epona Pond has a neutral aura, it can be quite creepy at times, especially at night, when the sounds of the forest awaken those deep in slumber and even those who are paranoid. Starting with the actual pond's surroundings, it's literally all rocks. Layers upon layers of rock and terrestrial ruin that has broken down and rode up on eachother.Grass pokes through with great scorn at the sun who attempts, even in winter, to aid its snowy friend in killing and exterminating the grass completely. The lake is placid unless wind occurs, obviously, faint ripples sometimes happen as the lake blurrily reflects its surroundings. On the opposite shore, getting to the lake it not accessable unless you are an expert climber. Grass, rubble, and undergrowth that has sat there for a while and obviously not well-kempt has overgrown, blocking access. Beyond the mess of vegetation and earthly inatimates is trees, a vast abundance of trees, that might even be considered a forest. Image	3	9	Dec 1 2007, 04:30 AM In: breaking...point... By: Infamy
Saone Gorge Saone Gorge is a strange place. First off, to clear everyone's mind of panic, you cannot drown in Saone Gorge unless you're a pup or you have no sense of up to down. The gorge is shallow, like mentioned before, the bottom visible to aerial views and the views that are close up. Fish wiggle their way through, barely brushing the ankles of those who walk through the gorge. Now, the water is a bit mirky, but only slightly, and the reflections of the green vegetations don't help the matter. The walls are steep, and, like I said, covered in green vegetation. The walls of the Gorge go up high, a familiar term is 'higher than the sky.' Jagged cliffs end the upward trek. The walls are not climbable by any means. As well as this, where are many turns in the gorge and the river within it, and a smaller river allows entrance. Image	1	4	Dec 12 2007, 02:47 AM In: Walking Tall[as.i.fall] By: Roman

Temptation Springs Frostily cold, it seems that very little can grow here and the season for growth is very short lived. Afterall its difficult to grow through the layers of permafrost. Although near the hot spring that is found here high upon the mountains several different kinds of vegetation grow, as well as one rare blossoming flower that is said to hold incredible healing powers if prepared right, if not those who eat it are dead. It is believed that beneath this frosty area is a lava bed river, which heats up the hot spring. The water may be warm here, but when thirst or the cold gets to one it tastes all that much better as it coarses through ones system. It is said to releave pain and tension in the tendons and joints as well, but linger not to long in the water least you start to boil alive.

Floral Empire Ruins A circle of water floats in from a nearby river, not very big, but apparently it had been man-created, a self defense mechanism with some fresh water alligators thriving in its shallow pools. Beyond the moat, or rather in the center of it a large expanse of land which once held what appears to be a castle, though it has long since crumbled, leaving only its tower intact, all else is a pileof rubble, of stone and moltar. Shiny colors seem to be found near the bottom, though what they are no creature truly knows, though man had for some reason valued them so, hoarding them one by one. Perhaps it was this that led to their downfall, possibly their end upon these lands. The drawbridge has long since rotted, leaving only a very rickety and cracked bridge that continues to slowly disintergrate bit by bit. On the shore of the moat the alligators can be seen when they leave the waters to make their nests or rest, though they much prefer to be in the waters, lurking, waiting for some unsuspecting creature to get near so they can snap them up in their jaws. From the tower something sparkles, what it is no one knows, and there is a way to get inside and reach the top though it is a treacherous journey and very well hidden.

Verbeia Lake Hidden in a narrow valley, a gorgeous lake gently weaves its magic throughout the land, reflecting the imperial majesty of her surroundings. Every little ripple is a tale all in its own. A few trees grow here, though sparce they may be, they add to the speldnor of the lake itself. The mountains that are rocky but able to sustain moss and short grasses upon them rise high above, as through trying to keep the secret of the lake to themselves, like a jealous lover. These mountains are snow tipped and even in the valley there are patches of snow, however the weather soon depletes, yet it snows again, only some of it falling to the base, for at the peak of the mountains it is cold at such a high altitude.

Lasair Canyon Lasair Canyon is dangerous indeed. A very strange, and dangerous place, and, you guessed it, full of rocks. Walls, ground, and sky, it seems, are made of the terrestrial bodies. Starting at the bottom, and, again, working out way up. The rocks start of at a 45 degree angle and are, indeed, climbable. The light incline turns into a deep one, the rocks becoming sheer and the cliffs rugged. The rocks grow smaller and become like tiny pebbles. Now, there's no mistaking this area is very dark and gloomy, despite it's bright colors of orange and red, as well as some mood-dimming gray. At the top of the climb is a grassy area, and once climbed you can realize there's no real point in doing so unless the wolf enjoys a scenic view. As mentioned before, this land portrays a darker aura, and is not meant for those who don't want their limbs torn off or head bashed in while climbing in adventure.

Rakuen Catacomb This place could only be described as heaven, with the tide crashing against the shore, or rather the cove where tall big boulders sat as though a natural dam. These waters however were not that of salt water, but fresh water. A delectable crisp cool taste which would tantalize any tongue. The sky often looked much bluer from here where vines grew up and down the steep incline of the cliff, a small path leading to the bottom where one could sip of this delectable water. Carved by time and erosion into the side, caves with many a ledge, each path leading to another cave all of them somehow connected with rocky pillars. Inside a waterfall of magical delights surrounded by varying minerals and gems of wondrous coloration that glow even in the dark. Moss and mushrooms grow though add to the splendor of the caves that are part of the wondrous cliffy cove. Image	4	46	Dec 23 2007, 03:49 AM In: The Stage is Set By: Thalia
Hell's Backbone Mountains Looking for the end to a single mountain is not an easy task if one were so close to it. From afar, even the jagged mountains withold a vehement first impression. Before the mountains lay an outstretch of land which is life to little beings seeing as all of the grass is dead. It's basically a plain before arriving to the mountained. These mountains jut up from the earth, higher than any mountains in the world. Trees and plants scatter the surfaces of the great mountains, home to many animals not found on low elevations. To climb up and over these hellish formations of earth is a task unended, as it always will be. Even if one were to make it to the other side of the moutains, they will run into nothing but a steep cliff, wide open sea raging below, waiting for some unsuspecting victim to fall to his/her death.

Melodies of Murder Woodland The birds herald the morning, and in the early hours of twilight, just before and during dusk they sing sweet lullabies that lull all to sleep. It is here within this mysterious forest that several have been lost to the tunes of the sweet song, yet something lurks within. Deep within that only appears during the moonlit hours of night. A savage beast unlike any other that quickly tears the sleeping victim limb from limb. The only tall tale signs that this might be true is the bones of those who have traveled this well-trodden path that seems to come to a halt half way through the vegitation. Dangers lie within despite the glorious melodies that the seemingly innocent birds sing. Image Meurtre Pack Hierarchy	6	21	Dec 24 2007, 08:49 PM In: One Long Thought; Insane By: Bete Noire
Semblance Ruins Here vegetation rises well above four feet, tall grasses and vines entertwning and creeping up the terraces of long abandoned buildings, some of which have incaved and crumbled, though a very few still remain intact. A variety of pinks and purples blossom on these vines that creep across the ground and through the windows of these ruins. On some dark nights one might hear cries and moans though perhaps they are no more than ones imagination, apparitions float on by, small orbs of varying hues depending on the aura that they emit. In the middle of the day a piano plays whether it is just an automatic thing or a ghostly apparation playing a tune it is rather difficult to dichiper. Moss and fungi of different sorts grow here as well, especially in parts where the buildings are dryrotted. Musty moth eatten blankets sit on termite infested wooden framed beds. Rats and mice scurry through the holes that have long been made into the walls of these ruins, but no longer does mortal man here walk, some ancient battle having taken place, the evidence found in the bones and skulls half burried in the soils and hidden in the vegetation, as well as the cannons and guns that might be found nearby these human remaints.
