Welcome to Blackmane Pack of the Mountains

This is the life of Blackmane Pack. The name has been passed down from the very first alpha named Redstar. She was a magicless wolf who wandered until she decided to settle down in the Deciduous Forest. The next alpha named Itsuki was moon-touched wolf who wielded great power of life. Every step he leaves behind left a special flower which glow until the full moon. This is the beginning of the Blackmane Pack. They both paved a way for this very pack. They allowed freedom and unique beliefs. They allowed and accept a different groups of unique wolves, even other certain species. Their belief is very unique and what sets them apart from other packs. They strongly believe the Ancient Ones were the one who gave unique powers to each and every wolf. Some are born without any abilities and some are born with weaker ability. Those who are born with greater abilities would become am excellent hunters and scouts. Those born without abilities are and will be pupsitters.

This takes place in the forest near the high snow-capped mountains. The snow tends to last longer than usual else where. The sky is much clear and full of bright stars where the wolves believes their ancestors is among the stars. The current location they are in are well hidden with the thick forest. Their dens is well fortified from harsh weather. The prey around there is plentiful but can become scarce depending on the weather and the time of the year.

The Codes of the Pack

There are rules to be followed. These rules are taught in a form of a song to young pups to help them remember. If any is broken, they will be faced with punishment or even worse, become the banished one. The Codes of the Pack was originally created by Redstar from her experiences. Itsuki helped finished the Codes afterwards since Redstar has passed from young age. Borealis made final adjustments and changes to the Code to farther solidify his current pack.

• Obey the Manda'lor. One may challenge for the leadership but if they fail, they will become the banished one. If they win, the previous Manda'lor will step down.
• Everyone is treated equally and with respect.
• It is honorable for one to fall in battle and honorable for those to stand in silence during the burial
• There is Loyalty as there are clans within the pack. One without a clan carries no purpose.
• Accept all Foundlings. All Foundlings must have at least one caretaker.
• Outsiders may be welcomed but must respect those and their beliefs within the pack.

The Beginning of Blackmane Pack

Redstar was a loner who left from her old pack in search for her permanent home and mate. Her pack was originally Wolvdalorians and their Code was unique but rather too strict for her liking. So, she wanted to change that but only to to change that is to leave her old pack behind. Unfortunately, she never found a mate but found a temporary home in the forest. She searched for other wolves to form her very first small pack. Random wolves had a hard time accepting her as Manda'lor so she exiled them to attempt to start new pack once again. Second pack was very successful. From her trials and errors, she managed to create several rules which she called," The Code." Her pack then moved to the mountains to permanently settle down there, where they can be closer to the skies. Her pack was growing well as the next heir is accepted, even the heir was not her child. Regardless, she saw him as her adopted son. She named him, Itsuki. But just as she nearly finished what she has started, she got sick and became weaker. She then only passed at 2 years and 8 months old.

Itsuki decided to finished what his adoptive mother has started. It took him many moons before he was able to figure out the rest of the Codes through many fights within the pack and many advices from the elder wolves. It was only then he found the next heir as he was getting old himself. He has lived to his fullest and he was thankful for being able to live a long life. This heir was far more unusual. Perhaps an alien from another planet or perhaps he came from another pack from another location. In fact, the pup happened to come from another Wolvdalorian pack with different beliefs. Itsuki named him, Borealis. He has passed just as Borealis turned into an adult.

Borealis made final changes to the Code as he carries a few old beliefs from his old pack. He became highly respected as he openly accepts all and any wolves, including exiled Wolvdalorians. Even those with powers or powerless ones. He hopes he can bring an heir to take on the next place in the future with another wolf, Winter, who is his mate. As he grew older, he finally had heir, North. But North came with a special request when she was a few moons old. She heard of old legends and stories of Wolvdalorian and has decided to become one. Borealis spent time to find another Wolvdalorian clan that would be willing to train her.

North is the first wolf ever trained to be a Wolvdalorian and heir to be the next Wolvda'lor! She admired the small clan of Wolvdalorians so she begged her father to allow her to become a Wolvdalorian. But to be a Wolvdalorian, both parents must be a Wolvdalorian. But there can be an exception. Borealis welcomed one clan but they carried a different set of rules themselves. Therefore, North cannot be trained by their leader of the clan Mudhorn. So, Borealis seemed out a clan that allows such wolves to become the Wolvdalorian. It took him a half a year to find them. Far north, in a frigid location. The mountain area always touched by the cold air and snow storms. The large clan featured their thick pelts and well-made armor, handcrafted by their Goran. Their armor displayed beautifully painted patterns that resembled the ice-lands in a color of light open sky on a silver beskar. Borealis requested a meeting with the leader of this clan with hopes of training his daughter, North. The leader was massive in size compared to Borealis. Needless to say, North was nervous at the sight. But leader proved them wrong and openly welcomed them with open paws. North was happy, almost too excited to be a Wolvdalorian. The leader then allowed her to be a Wolvdalorian but with couple conditions. North must have a mate from their clan in order to began her family of Wolvdalorians. She must live with the clan to experience the true training. North accepted the conditions. It was long and harsh on her. She nearly froze to death a few times but thankfully, by the time she is an adult, her pelt grew thicker, just like theirs. She trained hard and along a way, she found her future mate, who happened to be the son of the Leader, Alaska. After the training, the leader then challenged her to prove she is worthy to leave the clan. She proved them wrong and showed her powerful side and her skills, all thanks to the clan. By the time she returned from her journey, she did not come alone to meet her father. Borealis was nearing his time and was happy to see his young daughter grew up to be an excellent Wolvdalorian. Now, her journey begins as a Wolvda'lor.

The Downfall

After North passes, her heir took over. The heir was named Milou Rorr. While growing up, Milou's personality, became more questionable. Even from both kind parents, Milou was more aggressive and dominant. But she became the first born Wolvalorian and the next Wolva'lor. Then, everything went downhill. She would snap at anyone and everyone who comes near food. She formed smaller pack that respects her and follows her ways. This small pack would attack the other wolves if they did not listen to Milou or her small pack. Until one outsider saw the events. Then, all the outsiders and the wolves formed together and took down Milou. The one who lead the group was then named Wolva'lor. The new Wolva'lor then made changes to the rules to ensure any wolves find the current Wolva'lor unworthy of the title, they may wish the Wolva'lor to step down. Borealis's family came to a unfortunate end, thanks to Milou Rorr.

The New Beginnings

Shileth Kajurs was the next Wolvda'lor to take place after being trained by North, but this Wolvda'lor was much more laid back in terms for protecting Blackmane pack and her mate, Faolan. She lacks focus, despite all the training she has received from adopted parents. They had no choice but to choose her as the next Wolvda'lor in hopes of her changing for the better. It only taken her a several moons to realize the responsibility she has to carry. Then, she spent one moon, learning what she can from the elders and mentors as she regrets the time she didn't hear from her parents. This taught her a valuable lesson to pass down to her future heir. She even requested to learn the Wolvalorian ways from Din Djarin but he refuses as he saw Shileth Kajurs as a unworthy Wolvda'lor. It took many encouragments from her and even, Grogu. He only accepted as Grogu begged him to train the new Wolvda'lor. Now, after all the training and lessons she learned, she is now finally ready to fully embrace the title as Wolvda'lor, even she is a few years too late but she will make sure her current pack is safe and well protected under her rule.
