As I am planning to make a pack regardless of his this challenge ends I thought I would take some inspiration from Luns (*fistbumps*) and post this up here so i can keep my thoughts straight. If anyone has any questions, plots, or characters they think might be interested feel free to post below and brainstorm with me!!
NOTES:
-I wanted to go with a more simplistic ranking system as they will be utility based as well as part of pack-to-pack relations. I want rogues and other wolves to understand what Werifesteria does, not just what language I googled to come up with ideas for! xD
-Ceremonies will be slightly warrior cats-ish, something young wolves should look forward to and a matter of pride for them and their families. More of these may be added in the future and I'm certainly open to suggestions.
-I would like to do random events within the pack territory, maybe one per season, so please consider the likelihood of group threads if you join in. These will not be mandatory but are an alternative way of advancing in pack rank.
"To wander longingly through the forest in search of mystery"
Werifesteria is first and foremost a pack centered around exploration and trade. The world is their oyster and members are expected to treat it as such. They are given immense amounts of freedom in the choices they make and the allies they find so long as the protection and betterment of the pack is not infringed upon. They believe that a stagnant life is one well wasted, and that each day should be lived to the fullest.
Pack color: #57AB00
Claimed territories: The Orchard & the Rio Grande
Former leaders: None

Pack Rules, Culture, & History
— REMEMBER WHAT YOU'RE HERE FOR: The pack's goals are your goals. The pack's best interest is your best interest. Whatever you set out to find when you joined up is here, waiting for you to come and get it. Don't wimp out when times get tough.
— REMEMBER WHO'S IN CHARGE: Disloyalty and subordination in any rank directed at any superior will not be tolerated. A pack is only as strong as it's weakest link and any discontent is expected to be faced head on. If you've got a problem take it up with them. You might be expected to
— DON'T START WHAT YOU CAN'T FINISH: Werifesteria will always protect it's members, but if you get in to shit too deep to crawl back out of don't expect whoever had to come save your ass to be too happy.
— DON'T LEAVE YOUR PACKMATES HANGING: If someone needs help you better be the first one on the scene to give them the aid they need. No matter the situation Werifesteria is a brotherhood of those working towards the same goals, of those looking to make one another strong. Even if they were being a dumbass and it's their own fault, it is your duty.
— KEEP YOUR HEAD RIGHT: Don't let ego, lust, jealousy, or anger ever sway you off course. If you feel vengeance is justified bring it up to the Mercari, if you need to get something done or if you feel as if you were wronged there will be those here looking to help you, but be smart about it. Keep a level head.
— BE PRESENT: Those who have no interest in accomplishing the goals of the pack, or attending our meetings or events are not welcome here. You are expected to post within pack lands at least once a week. Any who disappear without a trace will be considered deserters and removed from the pack.
Customs:
— Gathering plays a central role in the daily activity of the pack. This pack is filled with innovative wolves who are always looking for a new way to innovate and accomplish what others cannot.
— Werifesteria occasionally hosts Open Markets for their members, rogues, and other allied packs as well where the open exchange of goods is encouraged, along with general gossip and news.
— At the turn of every season from any pups who become yearlings and for those aging age from 1 to 2 years old a ceremony is held as they either enter into their apprenticeships or graduate as full members of the pack.
— You might call this lot Chaotic Neutral. As a whole the pack will always act in it's best interest, and if it comes to down protecting one ally over another they'll go with the option that works best for them every time around.
— It is not mandatory that pups conceived stay in Werifesteria but it is strongly encouraged that they spend at least some amount of time with the pack wolves learning their ways. Dual-Citizenship of sorts may be arranged.
— More to come!!!
