Pack Rules, Culture, & History


  • Rom-Baro's word is law. Though he is highly considerate of his members thoughts and opinions he tries to make decisions based on what is best for the pack as a whole and his word goes. Do not question and respectfully listen to what he has to say.

  • Honer and be considerate of your pack mates. The pack is family which means fighting among the pack won’t be tolerated. If you have issues with another member and don't know how to handle it, feel free to come to the Rom-Baro for help and he will help you work through the issues.

  • Privacy is a must, no need to share information other's don't need to know. We would like to stay clear of quarrels between other packs, this means who and what is traded to who shouldn't be discussed with other packs.

  • Respect and be kind with other packs. We do not want to start fights or a war with another pack so we must remain respectful of their rules when we go to trade. If you prove you are unable to do this your rights to be a trader for the pack.

  • Rank Challenges are allowed for certain ranks. Kesali tends to try and focus more on how much knowledge you have within your rank (aka skill points). This means ranks for hunting and healing are not allowed to be challenged for. Ranks within the fighting or protection for the pack are allowed because it helps you further your overall skill points. The tier one and tier two ranks are also not allowed to be challenged for.

  • Teamwork is highly encouraged. Everyone will have their rank, but this does not mean this is the only thing you do in the pack. It is highly encouraged to learn and help other ranks within the pack, knowledge is the key to life in the Rom-Baro's eyes. Those who pitch in wherever it's needed will not go unnoticed and will be praised for doing so.

  • Start them young, but we remain careful. We try to start as early as possible when teaching the youth, but this doesn't mean they can be taken out of the pack to do so. All training will remain within the pack borders until they are closer to a year and a half. This also means until they are a year old of age they will remain in the Tenimos rank.

  • Love is encouraged, but respectfully ask! We allow others to find mates and to bare pups, but we do request that you ask the Rom-Baro before conception has happened. It is requested to do so because we need to ensure there is enough food and supplies and room to ensure your young will survive, thrive, and be healthy.

Customs:
  • Abiav; The wedding feast. This is held in celebration of new mated pairs within the pack. A large feast will be held after the private bonding ceremony so that the whole pack can give them gifts and words of encouragement for their next stage in life.

  • Pomana; Kesali's celebration of life (Funeral ceremony). First will start with a quiet burial under the grand mother willow where bunches of flowers and trinkets will be placed on top of their grave in honor of them. Afterwards a group feast in honor of the fallen and any are welcome to say words or memories during this time. This is a big bonding time for the pack to be there for the family and for the pack during their grieving.

  • Đurđevdan; The return of spring. Spring is a special season because it is the season of new life. Kesali honors it because it is when the new growth of herbs and new birth of prey happen which is part of the main form of life to the pack. Without what spring brings it would be difficult for the pack to survive.

  • Toamnă Trade Fair; Held in the fall where all packs and bands are invited. Object is to trade and bond with others and to keep herb and food stocks packed up for the winter. May hold Healer Training, Spars, and even hunts with others if they are willing.

Pack Symbolism:
  • Light Blue for pack color; Blue is significant to not only the Wreckage bloodline because of the three original sisters, but it is also highly significant to the pack as well. Blue has several meanings that match it with the pack. A few of them are freedom, imagination, expansiveness, inspiration, sensitivity, intelligence, stability, & unity. This also means if you were treasure hunting and found blue gemstones, they would be highly sought after by the pack.

  • Jewelry & Wearables; The pack will grow to have a structure were certain ranks will have certain things they wear (this will take time because the need to be paying for all this). The significance may be the amount, or simply the type of jewelry, but Blue is always the color chosen. So these pieces may only remain to the higher ups. Again this will take time, and have to be discussed to see if members actually want their characters having to wear something.

  • Seed with a sprout; This is the pack’s symbol that has several meanings. Mostly it was picked because it has potential to become a beautiful flower or herb. There is hope in it’s potential, and there is always growth. Without growth one would simply be unable to exist in this world and therefor die.

Pack History:
  • Founded Fall, Year 12 by Branch Wreckage claiming the territories of Weeping woods & Tall Grass Plains
