Aerie

The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

Aerie is a close-knit pack of mercenaries and traders, wolves who have pledged their faith and loyalty to the core Abraxas. Those who so pledge become Abraxas “cousins” as capable of rising through the ranks as those blood Abraxas. There are seven Paths that the wolves of Aerie can follow to rise - the Path of Fang, the Path of Antler, the Path of Leaf, the Path of Earth, the Path of Sun, the Path of Moon, and the Path of Shadows. Each Path contributes equally to the wellbeing of the pack and its ascendence. Additionally, there are four Alula, the subleaders beneath the rule of the alpha and his second. When the pack’s numbers allow for it, each Alula will choose from among the seven Paths to gather a Region, a group that they are obliged to lead and take care of in times of both peace and war, reporting on them to the leadership. Each Region and it’s Alula is named for a direction - the Alula of the North leads the Region of the North, the Alula of the South leads the Region of the South, and so on. In times that the pack is smaller and more manageable, the leadership rules directly over much or all of the pack, with only one or two Alula, or none, leading Regions. One Alula is chosen from among them to act as heir to the pack, though is otherwise no more powerful.
