Towards Daylight

The Sun
A glowing ball of pure light that watches over the pack day by day. It's quite an ominous entity, one that doesn't speak its intentions and would rather show them through actions. Soul and Rayne spoke of its importance as The Sun is what allows life to flourish and stay thriving in dark times. Without The Sun, the cold and snow would become endless, freezing everything without mercy. It is also believed that those who are named after The Sun bring good luck. This is why each leader must be named in its honour, it not only shows respect to The Sun but also keeps good fortunes within the pack. It is said that if they disrespect The Sun, heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires will devastate the lands where they walk and anywhere they try to outrun it. Some rumours even believe that Soul was The Sun or is now as to continue watching over them. Despite all that is said about its importance, a few are still skeptical, but won't step out of line to find out. This pack is happy to allow The Sun to guide them as well as follow its supposed wishes.

Death & Afterlife
Each wolf who passes away is to be buried among flowers no matter where the pack is taking residence. These flowers express the love, care, and gratitude that the members had for the now fallen wolves. As life prospers in The Sun's light, flowers too will grow from where the wolf rests and allow them to pass on with fulfillment and comfort. Some small trinkets are also placed around the burial site, especially if the wolf was attached to them in life. Before a wolf is buried, however, the members of the pack will howl in mourning. This sad symphony can go on for a long while until they are ready to say their proper goodbyes and bury them. They believe the fallen join The Stars, the space where The Sun is absent and darkness reigns, each speck of light is a wolf's soul that continues on in the vast sky.

Summer Solstice
Since heading north, Towards Daylight has seen the entity they worship less and less. They have become accustomed to only seeing The Sun for a few months at a time. This lack of sunlight during bitter cold winters has dragged down the pack. To combat this, they've made a celebration to honour The Sun's recurrence each summer. This celebration is held the instant The Sun rises and lasts until it sets for the winter. The Summer Solstice is a time of plentiful and abundance. Plants and flowers are strewn about, woven into necklaces or crowns, and gifted to one another. Feasts are held within the Gathering Area for all members to enjoy with one another. Dancing, singing, and howls are heard each time The Sun reaches its highest point in the sky. It's truly a time for celebration. Additionally, Towards Daylight is less reserved during this period and more open to communicating with other packs.
