THE COLONY
Colony Territory --> Mirewood, a Temperate Coniferous Forest deep in the mountains
Colony Founder --> Whispering Snow
Colony Symbol --> The Raven and The Buzzard
The Three Eyed Raven and The Swift-Flying Buzzard crisscross amongst the clouds, their wings beating. Both magnificent birds dive through the sky and sweep across the tips of trees, making themselves known in the vast forest beneath them. The Buzzard dives down through the undergrowth, searching for its prey, always enjoying a challenge. The Raven flies from branch to branch keeping a close eye on the world beneath, beyond, and around it.
The Raven symbolizes Sight, Apathy, and the fine line between Life and Death
The Buzzard symbolizes the Enjoyment of the Hunt, Challenge, and a strong Ego

COLONY CLASSIFICATIONS
(Found in each wolves' footnote, excluding Whispering Snow)
Ground Hunters
These wolves prefer a more forward approach when tackling the hunt. Rather than using stealth or speed to take down their prey, strength is the main brunt of their strategies. Skilled in fighting and hunting in tight spaces, as well as carrying a more proud and solid stance, Ground Hunters are a force to be reckoned with.
Shadow Lurkers
Known for their excellent battle tactics, cruel, cunning, and ambitious point of view, and their questionable morals, these wolves will always carry a fearsome reputation. Although most see them as a nightmare to behold, Shadow Lurkers will always be the ones to go to when in need of answers, as they're also well-known for their intelligence and logical thinking.
Storm Runners
Mysterious and strange, two of the only confirmed facts known about these wolves, other than their tendency to prefer wide open spaces like fields and moors. These wolves are rarely seen, especially since Mirewood is mostly forest. Any other information about them can only be guessed upon. It is assumed that they are smaller, wiry, and built more for speed rather than strength, therefore hunting smaller and quicker prey, due to their preferred habitat, and the other animals that they share the space with. Many other claims about these wolves have been made, and quickly shot down, mainly due to lack of evidence.
Lotus Eaters
Whilst their moral scale isn't entirely known, these wolves tend to lean more towards the softer, calmer, more patient side. Though, never mistake a Lotus Eater for a fool. They may not be the smartest wolves in Mirewood but they are most certainly not stupid. Lotus Eaters get their name from the way they harvest and grow lotus flowers along the rivers that flow through their corner of Mirewood. Sometimes it seems as if nature itself has a tight bond with these wolves.

THE COLONY FOUNDER
A paw, stained with blood, reached up from between the heavy corpses. Claws sunk into the soft flesh of what was once a living, breathing, wolf. From out of the mountain of used-to-be's came a jagged shadow. Green eyes raised to meet the devastation. The black-and-white pelted figure's empty gaze raked the vast clearing. Four bodies lay at the bottom of the pile spread out from the rest. The figure made its way down the mound of corpses, hesitating before setting paw on the blood-soaked grass. Whatever had happened, had happened recently; Very recently. The figure approached one of the corpses that lay further away. This wolf had died of blood loss and exhaustion, same as the other three. It was assumed almost instantly that these wolves that lay further away from the mound had been the ones to pile up all the corpses into one mass. A sort of memorial almost, but this happened only so long ago, two of the four bodies strewn about had just stopped breathing. The figure raised its eyes to the horizon as light began to show. In the distance another figure stood, with a pelt of various colours and patterns. Although the leaves may not have left the trees yet there was still a chill in the air, but maybe that was just the cold glare of the stars as even they had to climb the accumulation of bodies to reach the top. The curious wolf in the distance began its slow approach,
soon to meet eye-to-eye with the only survivor.
