LORE

"What happens when you dream?"
---
In summary, this pack's lore revolves around Wolvden's monthly Lunar Events, and thus, passage into the Dreamlands. This lore will dictate the behavior and appearance of wolves within this pack, and the details are outlined below.
---
Eye Colors
Generally, it is now understood that wolves with blue, ice, white, or eyes of similar hues (though gray is an interesting exception) are able to pass into the Dreamlands upon nightfall. These wolves are known as Moonwalkers. Their abilities coincide with the phases of the moon - the fuller the moon, the easier it is to enter the Dreamlands. Black-eyed individuals are oddities, in that they can only enter the Dreamlands on full or blue moon nights. Individuals with black-white heterochromia are favored, for they can enter the Dreamlands regardless of the moon's phase.

Individuals will purple eyes, however, are a special case. Though they are able to enter the Dreamlands, they often report hallucinations - nightmares - upon entry. Though not often, these incidents are often startling for the few who experience them. Some report that the world tears at its seams on occasion, and lunar individuals grow aggressive, territorial, and sometimes outright violent. However, studies into this continue within Jovian Pack.

Mutations
It was recently discovered upon the birth of Iocaste that individuals with albinism also bear the ability to enter the Dreamlands at will - though now, this includes during the day. However, this special ability appears to have unique conditions, in that albino individuals still must have the genes that code for the correct eye color. If they are albino, individuals from the Dreamlands are able to see them, though the albino individual (if they do not have one of the aforementioned eye colors above), cannot see the Dreamlands at all.

There... there was a time when melanistic wolves existed here. Some say the Dreamlands swallowed them whole. Ultima Thule knows what happened, but refuses to tell.

Names
All wolves will be named after moons of Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto. In some instances, they will be named after asteroids or comets. Jupiter's moon names are reserved for Callisto's descendants, with Mercury's moons being reserved for a very specific case - brothers in the same Jupiter litter are born, one with a skarn base, the other with a marengo base.

Accessories
Lunar Tear Pendant - worn by the direct descendant of the past lead wolf. This pendant was given to Callisto by a Cnitharian wolf as a gift, and is only ever to be worn by her blood relatives, thus indicating where the status of lead wolf lies.

Gentle Cnitharian Accents - with enough belief, practice, and hope, a non-Moonwalker may be marked by a Cnitharian in their sleep, and permitted entry to the Dreamlands. This often is accompanied by a change of eye color, often to azure, blue, ice, or white. Europa was the first ever to receive such a blessing.

Smoky Quartz Accessories - jewelry given to Jupiter descendants that are unable to enter the Dreamlands. The pack herbalist remains at work, trying to find a way to imbue these stones with lunar dust, in hopes of it granting them passage.

Branch Overgrowth - signs that a pup has been chosen by Cnitharians to be the pack's herbalist. These will appear from a very young age, growing with the pup, and stopping upon its appointment as herbalist. Should they not be appointed herbalist, the branches consume the wolf wholly, trapping them in the Dreamlands permanently.
