Guardians Of Legend

The Guardians are a strangely unique pack, devoting themselves to rules and regulation. 

The pack is fairly strict when it comes to religion. Every 15 years, the wolves select a pup to take the place of alpha. The pup is intensely trained, and must have clean blood. Typically, the pup has a “holy” name. The name must be related to the moon, planets, or a god. It is preferred that the pup be related to the alpha, but that isn’t always possible.

The code was created by the pack’s first leader, Thoth. For your convenience, it was divided into separate groups based on type of rule. 

Herbalist Rules

A Herbalist will dedicate their lives to their role. They shall not change jobs.

A Herbalist will never put one pack-mate before another.

A Herbalist cannot have pups, as raising a family may distract the herbalist or cause bias.

A Herbalist may take a mate, as long as they do not have pups together.

A Herbalist can only fight another wolf if it is guarding pups or supplies. Never under any circumstances will a Herbalist be sent to fight in a war or protect boundaries.

Herbalists are in charge of sending wolves to the afterlife.

A Herbalist will communicate with the gods every quarter-moon.

When collecting herbs, a Herbalist must thank Geb.

A Herbalist has the choice of guiding a banished wolf to the territory’s boundary. If a Herbalist chooses not to guide the wolf, the wolf from then on will be considered “Cursed”.

Scout Rules

There can only be two scouts at a time within the pack.

A scout will never abandon their post.

If one scout is currently pregnant, the other scout will not be allowed to have pups until the other scout’s pups are weaned.

The more experienced scout will explore new territory, while the younger and less experienced scout will explore well-known territories.

A scout is instructed to protect the pack to the best of their ability, even at the cost of their life.

A scout will always report foreign wolves and possible predators to the alpha.

A scout may hunt to keep themselves full on an expedition, but they must bring the same amount of food consumed back to the pack.

Hunter Rules

A hunter will never abandon their post.

A hunter is allowed to have pups, as long as nobody else in the hunting party is pregnant or nursing.

A hunter will put the utmost care into training their apprentices.

A hunter will never share prey with foreign wolves.

A hunter will do their best to get along with their co-hunters.

The pack leader should always be fair when it comes to making parties. This means that the alpha do their best to separate enemies and put friends together.

Ranking Rules

A puppy will never grow to rank higher than another wolf before it has reached adulthood.

Apprentices will be low-ranks before their naming ceremony.

Mid-Ranks is made up of the general adult population.

High-Ranks are wolves that are either related to the Alpha, follow high attendance jobs, or have committed an act so brave, or so smart, they were promoted.

Mating Rules

A wolf is allowed to be mates with any other wolf, as long as they are of age.

An alpha cannot punish a wolf for being mates with a member of the same gender. 

If a wolf becomes mates with a foreign wolf, the wolf will be banished.

A wolf will mate on their own time, wolves who force other into relationships have the possibility of being banished. At the minimum, the wolf will lose their status and become a low-rank.

Religious Rules

When prey is killed, the hunters must howl, to guide Osiris and Anubis toward’s the prey’s spirit.

When a wolf gives birth, they must thank Mut for their blessing. 

When a wolf dies, the other wolves within the pack must stay by their side until starlight shows, to protect the spirit from danger.

If and when a wolf is banished, they will be rubbed with lavender to remove the pack’s scent. 

If a pup is born dead, they will be named Hathor. The herbalist will bless the fallen pup and call upon Hathor to guide the puppy to the afterlife.

A pup chosen to be alpha MUST be named after a god or planet.

Pups will be named after their mother. They will earn their name the day they turn one year old. Ex: Sunpuppy, Skypuppy
