Pack Creation Contest : Part 2

Pack Name: Novara



Territory: Eastern lands- Firefly Lake, 2nd land, 3rd land to be decided



In-Character Reasoning: Taurig gave up Tortuga to his father Isardis in exchange for the returning of his wife and to leave his people alone. The wolves that swore their loyalty to Taurig deserve more than he could ever offer them, but in return for all they have done for him, he wants to provide them with a home and a name, something that they can carry with them the for the rest of their lives. He wants to provide them with safety and security and he believes that building a pack from the ground up with them is the perfect opportunity to thank them for all they have done.




Alpha Description: Taurig is a just leader. He is fair while at the same time strict, but not unreasonably strict. He's kind and gentle, despite his hulking mass. He helps those who need it and is a warrior at heart. He is a caring alpha who will do anything and everything he can for his people because he knows that they would do the same for him. He is a hard working alpha, putting in just as much work as his pack members, if not more. He's dedicated and determined to give his people everything that they deserve and more.





Laws & Description:
Any and all wolves are welcome to join Novara, as long as they are willing to put in the hard work and time to keep the pack running. Background does not matter to Taurig. If they show they are worthy enough to be in Novara, then he will not deny them a place.





1. Respect. Firstmost and primarily, there should be respect. All the time, any time. Alphas should respect their members, and the members should respect their alphas as well as each other. Being disrespectful isn't taken very lightly.




2. Hard work is appreciated and encouraged. The pack can only thrive if everyone works together as a unit. Everyone is expected to contribute, no matter how small the contribution is. Hard work will be noticed and if a wolf is seen working extremely hard, they will be rewarded with a promotion or any other means the alphas deem appropriate.




3. Freedom. No one is a prisoner in Novara. Everyone has their own free will, but that doesn't mean that they can completely disregard their responsibilities if they choose to become a part of the pack. No wolf can be forced to do anything they don't want to, including staying in the pack. As long as an alpha or beta is consulted before hand, any wolf is welcome to take their leave peacefully.




4. Fighting among one another is discouraged, both verbally and physically. Novara is a close knit pack, and everyone is family, whether they are blood-related or not. If any disturbances occur, settle them without violence or bringing harm to one another. If the dispute gets out of hand, a high ranking member should be consulted for further help. Squabbles can occur from time to time, as expected.




5. Mates are allowed and encouraged. Preferably if one is mates with a pack member, that would be ideal, but that doesn't always happen. If a member decides to take a mate from another pack or a rogue, they must consult with the alphas/betas as common courtesy.




6. Loyalty is instilled and earned, not expected. Just because a wolf joins Novara doesn't mean they will be expected to be loyal right off the bat. Once they have seen that the pack is worth being loyal to, their loyalty will be expected to be upheld. Betraying of the pack is unforgivable, but not punishable by mauling or anything of the sort. Any wolf found out to have betrayed the pack and brought harm to it will be permanently exiled and never welcomed back. Any exiled wolves seen near the border are to be run off on site.
