BRIEF OVERVIEW
Pack Name: Yliaster (also known as Iliaster or Yliastrum) is a term which most likely comes from Greek "hyle" (matter) and Latin "astrum" (star). In alchemy, it is used to refer to a completely healed creature that has burned away all the useless aspects of its lower nature and has become free to fly like the Phoenix. Here it is used to refer to an obscure sub-species of the Eurasian wolf, canis lupus yliastrum, and the territory they call home.
Era: Stellan (SE), more broadly known as the Mythic Era.
Main Lead: King Tingståd Hefensson, the fourth monarch. He is the son of Brujah and Ulo Hefensson, and the direct descendent of Stella Signata. His family have long fought for the recognition as the true rulers of Yliaster, but he has yet to prove his worth to the pack.
Secondary Lead: Ŀöḳệŕ - leader of The Wildkyn Horde in Storm's Nest.
Heir: Fiadh Ava'al (exiled would-be queen)
Stud: Ŀöḳệŕ
Ancestral Lands: Tundra, Taiga, Mountains (all currently occupied by the Wildkyn Horde)
Important Bloodlines: Ædrasil, Ava'al, Elk-Heel, Haalmór, Hefensson, LaFenn, Steel-Song, Twin-Fire, Välståd, Varngaard
Allied Packs: Máni Vargr Clan, Athanasy Pack
Current Events:
- A fledling pack, known as the Sythians, have been spotted near the former territory of Lyfja. Not much is known about these wolves, but their members are known to both Yliaster and wildkyn. Sythians claim their founder was a member of the noble Ava'al clan, who had died and returned to life.
- An argument between three main factions - Yliaster, Wildkyn Horde and Order of Lyfja - leads to a fight and eventually slaughter and ruin. Order of Lyfja is dissolved. Some pups are fortunate enough to survive, but not all make it home to their parents. From this point, pups will be raised in separate cultures rather than together.

YLIASTER
Heyrasjátaland: Current members are Gjöll the Enduring, Bréifne & Queen Ingun. Gjöll is The Speaker, she delivers messages from the Queen to the Kyn and from the Kyn to the Queen, except where individual attention is needed. Bréifne is The Listener, she listens to the land and all that moves in it, and is attuned to the spirit world. Queen Ingun is The Watcher, she watches for danger and mischief, both inside and outside Yliaster, she also knows things about the two-legged strangers - humans. The Triad congregates in the most ancient and mystical part of the land, the place where Stella Signata first appeared in the world.
Northbreak Point: Generally considered the border between Inner Yliaster and Outer Yliaster, this is a snowy, mountainous region patroled by the Kynsguard, the most revered hunters and protectors of Yliaster. No one may get through Northbreak Point without the permission of the Kynsguard. The members include: Bosun son of Étgudach, Brujah daughter of Żerań, Lodalskåpa Haalmór, Gjöll the Enduring, Edoras of Ædrasil and Sigrún.
Primeval Wetlands: As the name of this territory implies, this is a land full of swamps, marshes and treacherous woods, populated by unique flora and fauna. The Auxilliary Patrol reside and hunt here, commanded by Chief Rout Varngaard. The patrol is, in essence, an extention of The Kynsguard and abides by the same code of honour. However, the wetland wolves are hostile and will not hesitate to attack trespassers.
WILDKYN HORDE
The Wildkyn Horde: The outermost territory of Yliaster, Storm's Nest is mainly made up of hardy misfits known as the wildkyn, who believe in the freedom to rule themselves. Although their lands are fertile and green, human activity is not uncommon and can sometimes be a threat. In Yliaster, the wildkyn serve an important function as the first wolves to spot approaching dangers, and may even be so kind as to guide friendly visitors to Inner Yliaster. The wildkyn are normally scavengers and roam alone or in pairs, but they do form hunting teams in the winter to survive. However, recently the wildkyn have become more organised and there are rumours of an imminent uprising... Fiadh Ava'al, the heir of Yliaster, is held captive by the wildkyn here, though some say she is actually in love with the wildkyn leader, Ŀöḳệŕ...layout by #202
