THE BASICS
The Pack Name: The Rayala PackThe Land: tbd ( when its open to create a pack, i was thinking that maybe they could claim mount volkan and expanding to saratoga woods unless the up and coming pack decides to take over another packs land. )
The Color: Orange ( #E96618 )

The Alignment: tbd ( Chaotic Good, Lawful Neutral, or Neutral Good )
THE LAWS
I. The King's orders are law and his word is final. No one is allowed to back talk or lie to the King or Queen for this is seen as a betrayal and lack of loyalty. Never tell the packs secrets even if your leave is forever. If you do, you will be killed.II. Ranks are always earned, never given. Every one will be expected to carry out their earned duties and provide for the pack. Address one by their rank then name ( King Maverick, Lord Bob, Bishop Grace, Rook Hi, etc. ). King and Queen are of the highest rank of the pack and MUST have your up most respect and loyalty no matter what. Lord and Lady are of equal and must be respected by everyone below. Knights and Bishops are of equal and must treat each other with respect. Rooks and Pawns are of the commons.
III. Second chances are rarely given. Once you have joined the pack, you have our trust and expect loyalty from you. But once you lost our trust and respect, you will never get it back no matter what you do. If the King and Queen give you another chance, don't take it for granted. Considered yourself lucky.
IV. Newcomers must announce themselves and wait at the border before entering the territory. They are to wait there until they are answered by a member of the pack. The Lord, the Lady, a Knight or a Bishop ranked member may escort them to the Leaders, but they are not members of the pack until accepted by the Leaders and the escort can not leave the newcomer under given permission by the Leaders. Other members of the pack are welcome to greet them and watch over them, but are not to lead them further into the territory. Pups are to be accepted immediately by anyone, but must be brought before the King and Queen. If one does not announce themselves or wait at the border before entering, they will be approached with hostility by members of the pack. If evidence of ill-intentions, that pack member(s) has every right to chase them from the land and engage if necessary.
V. Mating is allowed only after you have received the King and Queen's blessing. Both members must be part of the pack in order to mate and have blessing from the King and Queen, failure to do so will result in banishment from the pack. This is so we can be sure we have enough food to feed a growing pack. Although the Queen can not mate with anyone else besides the King, the King can mate with other available females if numbers are needed. The Lord and Lady do not have to be mates and can have a mate of a different rank. Only one mate per wolf is allowed unless King states otherwise. Rape is forbidden and anyone caught or evidence of this action will be ban from the pack forever.
VI. Challenging for a higher rank is frown upon unless for a good reason or during the packs tradition events. Rayala does not want to see fights within the pack just to fight, although spars are welcome. But spars are only to improve fighting and combat skills, not to cause harm. King and Queen can never be challenged expect for a really really good reason. Knights can be challenged by other males only if the King approves first with good reason and the Bishops can be challenged by other females only if the Queen approves with good reason. Good reason would be like, they are not doing their duties, never around, missing in action, and etc.
VII. Leaving the territory is frown upon unless you gain permission from the leaders. The King and Queen can leave as they please as long as they let the other know and can only be gone for three days max, one at a time. The Lord and Lady can leave the land as they please as long as they are only gone for a day max and notify the leaders. Knights and Bishops are allowed to leave the pack land only after notifying the King and Queen first and must be for good reason. Rooks and Pawns are never allowed to leave the pack land unless given permission by King and Queen. It's hard to promise you protect when you leave the land.
