Ardent Wolf RPG - HabariHabari
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.
Habari is a chaotic Neutral - Evil pack, a branch of the Klein empire, though that is not necessarily openly discussed. Habari primarily functions as an informational hub and a spy ring. They strive to know what’s happening in the outside world as much as possible and use that information to further the Klien Empire. An unstated goal of Habari is to act as a new home for the Empire if its current leader (The Alpha of Ashen) is deemed unworthy of wearing the crown.
General Rules
— The word of the Serpahim is law, anyone found disobeying their orders or the laws of Habari will receive immediate demotion, repeat offenders may find themselves demoted to Se’irim and assigned to the Seraphim or other high ranking officers with no change for promotion. Do not cross the Seraphim.
— Members will be expected to carry their weight, anyone found to be slacking or surfing by will face consequences.
— Spars, dominance and other fights are acceptable within reason and may be used to deal with personal issues instead of the Seraphim having to step in, however, petty infighting will not be tolerated.
— Don’t antagonize other packs without reason or order, while Habari may ask members to infiltrate packs they should avoid implicating Habari whenever possible and avoid picking fights that can reflect badly on the pack as they strive to maintain a friendly public face. Members who antagonize The Ashen Empire or Ashen Armada without order will be immediately demoted.
— Don’t start fights you can’t finish. Members will be given a fair degree of freedom to work outside the pack however they may find that Habari refuses to come to a member’s aid if it’s deemed to be too much work or to reflect badly on them.
— Breeding is not limited within Habari however Habari will request any pups born from their female members remain in Habari until at least 1 year of age. Non-Klein Males who impregnate other pack females must negotiate where the pups will go for themselves, any loners who are impregnated are to be brought to Habari and their pups raised within the pack. Habari will not go to bat for your horn-doggery. Any Klein litters from Habari members will be highly encouraged to be raised in Habari.
— Protect Habari with your life, trespassers are to be immediately attacked and taken as slaves when possible, Habari’s name is to be maintained and anyone found disrespecting the pack name will be demoted.Pack Notes:
Information about Habari and the way it runs or information you can assume about the pack but that didn't really fit anywhere else.
- Recluse is fully nocturnal and so any and all official pack business happens at night. While each member can choose their own sleep schedule they must be ready and available to attend to official pack business during the night. Additionally, any pack members who wish to contact Recluse personally may find she is less cranky if not called upon during the day. Any threads for Recluse that do not specify time will be assumed to be night and written as such.
Habari Location List:
Mount Volkan
Den Sites:
Recluse Ithuriel-Klein & Eraithus Zanthus ✧ Seraphim & Shujaa Hashmallim A large naturally formed cave in the mountain side, which has a skylight that allows for the sun and moonlight to seep into the rock without being too bright. A pile of furs in the center function as a nest for Recluse and Eraithus but with enough space to easily add more wolves, either children or additional lovers.
Macabre Klein ✧ Malakim Found on the base of the volcano, next to Ghoul’s den. Mac’s abode is dark and shrouded, a strange arrangement of various taxidermy snakes, raccoons, birds, and rodents perched all around the entrance. A few tanned pelts, furs and hides sag over the mouth of the den like a curtain, obscuring the contents within. His bed is a quilted pathwork of squirrel pelts, thick and warm. The den itself smells like a sickly lavender scent, obscuring the metallic stench of blood from his taxidermy work. Despite the sickly scent, though, it’s not very messy or filthy.
Redbud Nook
Den Sites:
Viscera Klein & Ichor Klein ✧ Ishim Stepping off of the well worn paths through the nook, taking a turn towards the foot of the volcano, you’ll find this humble abode. Between the gnarled roots of a redbud, one may find themselves wandering into a large den. Hard packed walls of dark, loamy soil and intertwining roots have been carved into so that little hollows can be filled with trinkets. When it’s occupied, the sounds of barely contained laughter carry throughout the surrounding woods. Shoved into a small nook in the back of the den is a very tall, very smelly pile of furs where Ichor sleeps
Widow Klein ✧ Ishim Centrally located around the nook, volcano, and a small stream sits a hut built in a clearing. It is small but contains three rooms; one larger room at the front for sleeping and two smaller rooms in the back for storage and preparing her potions containing shelves and a makeshift desk. Outside is a rather large garden in comparison, growing a plethora of different herbs, poisons, and other plants
Grave Sites:
Harbringr ✧ Below a large redbud tree, a small pile of stones mark the grave, though often flowers or other tributes can also be found, left by family.
Jigsaw✧ Below a large redbud tree, beside his father's grave.
