Feel The Thunder

There was a storm that day.

The wind howled and whipped through his slate fur, freezing, cold, rain pummeling the packed earth of the battlefield as he stood poised over a large rock. Lightning illuminated the otherwise black, and turbulent sky for brief moments, just long enough for his large form to be seen before his equally dark fur blended into the storm. Thunder roared and boomed furiously above him between flashes and in a single brief moment of silence he gave his call.

He called for the strong, those that would not tolerate needing to carry the weak, or hold themselves back for the sake of what was “good” or “the right thing to do”.  His entire life he had lived under incompetent leaders set in their ways, where leadership was passed along bloodlines rather than those who were most worthy. He would be different. Dauntless would be different. There would be no heirs, leaders would be elected. He would not act alone but rather under the guidance of a council. He would breed in his people strength, and the authority to take what was theirs by right.

He paused then gave another cry for Cloudburst. It was time he found a home, and it would be right where he belonged; beside his brother as his second in command. Another burst of lightning flashed as the storm raged on. He had grand ideas, sure, but they could very easily end before they even began if a challenger stepped up and took it from him or if Sparrow decided to spite him and send someone to force him back into Abaven. He waited, suddenly nervous, his eyes hard as they scanned the horizon through the whipping rain.

Dauntless will be a pack with an alignment ranging from Lawful Neutral to Neutral Evil located in Waterfall Peak. Leadership in Dauntless is comprised of one ruler and a guild of advisors to council the leader. The guild is hand chosen by the leader, however, the leader himself must be voted for by the pack. The vote for the heir of Dauntless can be held at the previous leader's whim, however, s/he will not take charge until the previous leader either abdicates or dies.

Dauntless will be highly militaristic, discipline will be expected from each of its members as well as an ability to fight. Under Tyranis, loyalty to him and sworn allegiance will be heavily rewarded, however acts of disobedience or apathy are subject to harsh punishment including stress torture or maiming.

All non-Dauntless wolves who enter Dauntless lands are considered prisoners until they have either made an appeal to join their ranks or are granted amnesty by a tier 3 ranked wolf or higher. The ultimate fate of the prisoner however can only be decided by the leader.
