You are lost in these foggy woods. You denied for the longest time, convincing yourself that the fog would lift by sunhigh, but it's definitely long past the time now. It's nearly sunset, if your perception of time isn't totally out of whack. Suddenly, you hear something. Pawsteps? "Hello?", you call out into the dark woods. You swear you see the glint of eyes. However, just before you can step forward to greet the owner of those two eyes, a weight hits you in the back, forcing you to your belly. A paw holds you down at the shoulders as the eyes rise to their true height and step forth into your field of vision. "Hm....a guest? Not often we get those", the ash-gray she-wolf smirks, tail flicking as she observes you. After a moment of silence, she blinks, and then asks you, "Well, there's no way you're getting out again without a guide, and I have none to spare. So, what'll it be? Join my kingdom? Or leave this place to wander untill...", she paused to give a malicious little laugh, "...the inevitable happens?". You hastily nod, not wanting to be lost out there any longer. She smiles warmly, but something tells it's not sincere. "Good dog", she teases you, before turning to the one who has you pinned. "Haskir, let them go, and escort them to the camp".

To Recap: You have been found and accepted into the pack known as 'Andromeda Pack' due to their new alpha, though it's true name is The Amethyst Pack, named for the faintly glowing violet crystals that decorate the cave in which they live. You will tend to start off lower ranking if your character is not born into the pack, so unless your character is pack-born or unusually adept at their skill, they won't tend to be anything like a Beta or the Lead Huntsman/Huntress. Also, the wolves here are a bit different; they know how to utilize fire and metals to cook and make armor. Think 'Gaurdians of Ga'Hoole'.
===[glow=green,2,300]The Territory[/glow]===
The Camp- Where the Andremeda Pack lives, in the central chamber of the Amethyst Cave. Here is where several large tunnels branch off of the cave to the different dens, including the Nursery, the Commons(For hunters/warriors), the Grand Hall(where meals are eaten), the Forge(for blacksmiths, obviously), and many others.
Amethyst Cave/The Violet Caverns- The two terms are used interchangably. Both refer to the large cave where the Camp is located, and in which large purple crsytals with odd properties such as glowing grow.
The Sun's Tears- This hotspring, commonly referred to as the 'Sun's Tears', is where the Shaman and his aprentices go to converse with their ancestors to learn of omens and prophecies, or to make sure that recently deceased packmates make it safely up the Star Bridge to the Pack of the Skies.
Howler's Ridge- In old times, before the mysterious fog showed up, just before the reign of the old packmaster before Andromeda, it was used to call the neighboring packs to a meeting at the rise of each full moon or to declare war in other times. However, ever since the other two packs left when the prey left their homelands, it's just used as a place for some alone time.
The Scar of the Shadows- This large chasm seperates the Amethyst Pack from the former territory of their eastern neighbor. It is five foxlengths wide, the only crossing point being a rather creaky and ancient dead tree. It is unknown how deep it is.
The Outlands- Technically not a part of the pack's territory, but still important. This is where banished wolves, stragglers of the old pack that left, or small bandit clans live. Only a fool would go alone into this part of the area.
The Veil- This is the band of fog that surrounds most of Amethyst Pack's territory, blocking it from outside intrusion but also trapping them. Their best shelter is also their greatest handicap. It never dissipates, but some say that the pure of spirit can navigate it with help from their ancestors. It is rumored that a prophecy will be delivered to summon forth or reveal that pure one to make the fog go away.
---The Form---
Name-
Age-
Gender-
Looks- (No pictures, please. Your wolf -can- be unrealistic colors or have odd markings, but no wings, horns, etc. Manes and long claws or double tails and whatnot are okay, though.)
Personality-(You can be brief if you aren't that good at them; I prefer to develop them as I go, personally)
Rank?- (If they're a bandit, tell me if they're a leader or a follower. If a loner, remember, they will usually dislike Andromeda and her pack, because the other two blamed them for their forced migration)
Other?- (Any interesting scars? An acessory(like a necklace; there are no bows here. Something that could be made with metals and precious stones)?)
