Pantheon

Rules:

- All members of the pack will be expected to prove that they are able to defend themselves. Regular training is a necessity and will be required of children from the time they are able to leave the den.


- All pack members must make an effort to contribute to the pack and select a specialty as either Antipeltasts, Antistrategoi, or Antiatomists (unless chosen for higher titles).


- Loyalty is of the utmost importance in Pantheon. Pack members are free to come and go as they please, but must keep any plans Pantheon has within the pack. If a member wishes to leave to join another pack, the Matriarch and Patriarch must be immediately notified so that they may determine whether allowing said member to leave would pose a risk to the pack. The Matriarch and Patriarch are the only members with the right to make this determination and when a decision is rendered, the member must obey. Any members who do not follow these rules will be demoted to Prisoners and will be treated as such.


- The Matriarch or Patriarch must approve of all potential litters in order to ensure that the pack will not become overfilled and that resources will not become scarce.


- Wolves may challenge for ranks they are eligible for, but all challenges must be approved by the Matriarch and Patriarch. The leaders do not want wolves challenging for ranks they are not well-suited for simply because they are stronger.


- Disrespecting allies in any way is prohibited. Punishments for violating this rule will be decided based on the severity of the crime.  Rape of any wolf is prohibited and will be punished severely.


- Wolves who do not wait at the border and are caught trespassing on Pantheon soil are to be given only one warning before being attacked. All pack members are expected to be on guard for this and to be prepared to attack if necessary.


- There will often be events within the pack to raise pack morale and camaraderie. These events include a pack wide hunt every Spring and celebrations before any marriages within the pack along with any other fun events the Patriarch or Matriarch think of!


- Slaves/Prisoners may only be taken by members ranked Tier 3 and above, and only in circumstances approved by the Matriarch and Patriarch.


- Other rules may be added at any time if a need is found for them.

Pantheon Activity Rules:
Inactivity in Pantheon will be taken very, very seriously.  Penalties will be harsh and very few warnings will be given out.  Generally, a lack of activity will automatically mean removal from the pack.  Please read the rules carefully to be sure that you understand them.  Also, be sure to check the pack lands and front page news regularly so that you don't miss any requirements.
General Posts Required	All members will be expected to make at least 3 posts per OOC month. Posts in pack meetings do not count toward this. Wolves Tier 3 and up will be expected to make at least 5 posts per OOC month. Posts in pack meetings do not count toward this.
Mandatory Meeting & Event Requirements	Pack meetings will be held once or twice per season, with events occurring at randomly decided times.  Attendance is mandatory for all members at any meetings or events. Mandatory training sessions for the whole pack may occur from time to time and will be denoted as such.
Rank Specific Requirements	The Atomist, Peltast, and Strategos must hold training sessions at least once every other season for their respective Antis, or for the pack as a whole. More training sessions are encouraged, this is simply what is required.
Penalties & Exceptions	In mandatory meetings, events, and trainings wolves will have only two opportunities to post.  Those who post in the SECOND ROUND after missing the FIRST ROUND will be subject to IC punishment from the alphas.  Those who fail to post will be automatically removed from the pack (unless you are on absence). Rank specific meetings and trainings will have only one required round and those who fail to post will be automatically demoted and subject to punishment by the alphas. *Pups will not be removed from the pack, for obvious reasons.  They will only face harsher punishments for repeated absences/lateness. Members who are absent or have some other compelling reason will be exempt from posting requirements and members who are scarce will be granted extensions, but must contact Shelby.  This will save from me having to sift through site absences every time a meeting is held.  Names and exemptions will be listed here.

Pack History:
After the loss of Olympus at the hands of Katja, Helios and Natalya fled with their family and few remaining pack members to regroup and rebuild. The loss of Apollo, the oldest remaining son of Helios and Natalya is felt very deeply, and upon the creation of Pantheon he and his lover as well as their son Hypnos and the betrothed of Gaia Olympus are branded traitors.
At the discovery of Natalya’s fatal illness, the pack is handed down to Phoebe Olympus, who held the rank of Delphi at the time. After a few seasons as Matriarch, Phoebe became too stressed to handle the position any longer after Natalya's death and her husband's disappearance. She then handed the pack down to Helios and Natalya's son Hercules.
