SUMMARY



The Te Yae'itewu are a nomadic group of wolves connected by Sye'ae, a deity who is believed to be connected to all things living and holds within her the souls of those past. While these wolves typically seem to reside in the mountains, they can be found scattered across many biomes.

LIFE IN TE YAE'ITEWU



The Te Yae'itewu do not consider themselves a "pack", but rather a network of companions. While some may reside together in a group, they believe the term "pack" to be too restrictive. This being said, they will not go out of their way to correct others when they are called a pack unless necessary.

The wolves in Te Yae'itewu are generally friendly to outsiders and are more than happy to be hospitable. They are enthusiastic storytellers, and whether they are staying put or traveling, they will often jump at the opportunity to share their tales. Many Te Yae'itewu wolves will leave souvenirs, such as clothes or decoration gifts when they visit.

When a wolf is not travelling about, they are most often found in a central location. This location is where they will nest for their puppies, come to be treated by herbalists, and have meals with friends. It is often bustling with life and conversation. Visitors are always welcome! Te Yae'itewu believes in hospitality and community, and is always happy to house others.

RELIGION & BELIEFS


Te Yae'itewu believe in a deity called Sye-ae. Sye'ae is sometimes referred to as Mother Sye'ae. She is thought to be a looming presence of love that envelops the world in her embrace. She is connected to all living beings. She is the bridge between the living and the spirit realm.

Beyond Death


When a wolf dies, the wolf's spirit becomes one with Sye'ae, who preserves their consciousness in a near, yet distant dimension. This dimension is believed to sit somewhere between the living and the spirit realm.

Herbalists can use a mystical mixture to access this distant dimension - however, it can only be accessed during lunar events. After ingesting this mixture, a wolf will become drowsy and fall asleep. Their consciousness will meet the bridge that Sye'ae provides to speak with those who Sye'ae holds.

The Heritageless


Wolves without heritage are direct descendants from Sye'ae, or even reincarnated souls of those who have rested with Sye'ae and need more time in the living world.
Some wolves may come to remember who they were in their past lives, though this is not the case for all. Heritageless wolves have a special and deep connection with Sye'ae. They often have a mystical presence and charming personality.

Lillemor is known that some puppies that seem to come from nowhere could be connected to Sye'ae, though she does not know much about the connection. More often than not, she takes the puppies in and once she stumbles upon a Te Yae'itweu wolf, will offer them.

NOT SOLIDIFIED: RELIGION NOTES?

i think that leads inherit access to the souls of past leaders
they have a special connection that gives them the ability to sometimes come in contact with former leaders for their wisdom, but only former leaders
this isn't quite the same as like...starclan? they do not bring prophecies or messages, but they do bring wisdom and teachings from their time

a herbalist can help strengthen this connection during lunar events, if need be, with the mystical mixture -- however, the lead's almost always have a connection with the former leaders of time past.
