Chandor's wolves call for action, and their leader heeds to their cries. Though Nadia's initial intent had been to avoid conflict, she now decides to lead it. The pups she watched over have been taken (by her permission) and now Chandor wants them back - or at least to remind Fellfang that they cannot stand by such behavior. A mistake was made, but no more... right?


This takes place early winter (December-ish).


A patrol takes off from Chandor the next morning, following the Fellfangir's departure, with Nadia at its head. They do not catch up to the patrol, and instead reach Fellfang's borders one frosty afternoon, after almost two weeks of travel.

TIMELINE...

Expedition to Chandor - Valera and four Fellfangir head out on a mission to Chandor.

Heritage - Valera and Nadia discuss at the border; Nadia obliges to hand over Ariadne's pups under threat of war.

The Breaking - Nadia informs Chandor of her decision and is met with rebuttal and dissent.

Leader's Folly - Nadia answers her pack's cries and offers to them the option to pursue Fellfang.

(wip) - The war party travels...

They howl for contact, and to their surprise, are met by six wolves: Rhea, Asthore, Anakoni, Virago, and the two pups Emrys and Penrose. Though Valera does not make an appearance, the two parties talk instead of fighting. Ultimately, the pups decide to remain with Fellfang, and an agreement is set that they will be permitted to visit Chandor every summer. Orestes decides to stay with Fellfang and his niece and nephew.


The patrol travels home (another two ish weeks) and arrives, where Nadia immediately makes an announcement updating the pack on what the situation is.

DotW: Nadia, Synnove, Aurith

Svajone: Nimat, Ixchel


Which of your characters have you roleplayed with the least this year?

DotW: Mirakel

Svajone: Persayus and Temperance (but they're both fairly new)


Have you made any new characters this year?

Svajone: Nimat, Persayus, Temperance

rip to when i thought i was gonna stay at 1 char LOL


Have you retired or killed off any characters this year? Was there a reason why you dropped these characters?

Nope actually :>


Which of your active characters are you most attached to?

Like all of them bro : ( but I suppose Nadia holds a special spot that's hard to match - born in DotW, became an alpha, and has endured a lot of change!! In Svajone, Golaneir - my first character, whose also had a lot of growth over her time in group!


Which of your characters has your favourite design?

DotW: Braigiel (nice and simple, mask marking hehe) and Aurith (just aesthetically appealing). I like pale greys can you tell.

Svajone: Ixchel (I'm very proud of it. Her body shape is also different than what I usually create! also OWL)


Which of your characters is your favourite to write?

DotW: Braigiel (I can be angry and violent with her, and also strangely shy. She doesn't feel EMOTIONS how dare you think that), Mekhit (she's a weird mix of grump and strange humor, sometimes she's a challenge but I enjoy it!), and Aurith (she is so wildly CHILL and a little wacko, I can get away with some very silly yet in her eyes totally serious statements)

Svajone: Ixchel (actually hard sometimes bc she's caught between being emotionally detached while getting slammed with Extreme Emotions half the time but I enjoy making her into the odd cryptid creature she's growing to be), Nimat (mostly because she was a carefree pup and pups are just enjoyable to write nonsense for! I haven't fully figured out her adult demeanor bc her mother's death has intercepted things a little fjkldsa)


Which of your active characters has the most favourites on DA?

DotW: Nadia, unsurprisingly. The rest kinda fall into chronological line of when I made them lol

Svajone: Golaneir! Same as above xD


Which character has had the most development this year, and what have they gone through?

DotW: I've realized lately that a lot of my content is backlogged and most things were Hive-related gghsdf but.... Synnove has branched out a lot with content over the past months, from making new friends, discussing religion with not-anymore-enemy-pack, and earning some sick scars.

Svajone: Ixchel's life has been a twisting turning path - she is just beginning to realize her own magic and now her sibling is being exiled...


What's the most unexpected thing that's happened to your characters this year?

DotW: Mekhit losing Aisha and having to adjust/grieve.... but that's about it everyone was going with the flow of the Hive plot and i've got very few active personal plots kgskdf

Svajone: Gola being forced to socialize aka escort her alpha to a meeting with Kol. this is half a joke


What's been your favourite storyline from the past year?

DotW: Braigiel dealing with Mila having a new Best Friend, Synnove's friendship with Lunelle, Zinnia reuniting with Calumina, Mekhit and Nimue content

Svajone: Ixchel and her mAGICK


What was your favourite artwork (of your own) from 2022 and why?

DotW:

[DotW] Running Them Out

Svajone:

[Sva] Like a Chill
[Sva] Flourishing
[Sva] Weary Waltz
[Sva] Death: Golaneir

I think most of these are just pieces I was proud of - backgrounds, posing, layouts!


What was your favourite RP (of your own) from 2022 and why?

i'm not gonna dig through all my logs for the ones not posted by me but xD

[DotW] A Guest of Royalty

Their dynamic was so fun to write!!! <3

[Sva] Muddy Engineering

This was just pure silly wholesomeness xD

and honorable mention this awkward interaction: Doom's Portent

It's over.


Two years spent struggling against an entity beyond comprehension, a beast that tore all they loved from them. It has finally come to an end.


Nadia is quick to seek out her packmates after the events of the Queen’s demise. She permits them to say goodbye and grieve as needed, but is keen on returning home. By the end of the day, Nadia groups with her own and heads north to Xassa, to alert the ones who stayed safe and to collect the Chandorians among them. After that, they are swiftly on their way home alongside Aryn.


The trip takes about 3 days.


And then they are back home. Though much of the territory was cleaned after their return from Aryn, there is still bits here and there to take care of. The prey is still not to its normal presence, and with winter right on the horizon, keeping the pack fed is a high priority. Nadia permits excursions outside the territory again, but no one is allowed to go alone, like before. Despite the victory, too much caution is never a bad thing.


There's one last thing to do. One quiet evening is set aside under the full moon for a Remembrance: a ceremony to honor those passed. In particular, the ones who have fallen by the fangs and claws of the Hive: Arcuza, Mechka, Duncan, and Marrok. And for all the victims across the Domain. It is a somber festival, but also a release for emotions that have not been allowed loose for a long time. A cleansing, in some ways.


Things will return to normal, eventually.


PROMPTS

- Bear Totems: Re-marking the borders and checking on anything unusual!! Accompany the Lynxes on out-of-territory hunts for protection. Keep up a general guard!!

- Lynx Totems: With the scarcity of large prey, the hunters must look for small game, not limited to rabbits, late season birds, and also fish. Any trace of deer is an opportunity, however, not to be taken for granted!

Owl Totems: General clean-up of the territory as well as assisting the Lynxes on hunts! There is also a story to record, of all the Hive happenings.

Elk Totems: The medicinal herb store is still not up to its full capacity, but with winter coming it may not be easy to find plants. However, anything they can find is important!

Everyone: Clean-up of the territory, accompany hunting groups, and keep an eye out for danger.


And rest up, too. It's been a long, long two years.

The battle for Aryn's densite has left Chandor tired. They have been kicked from their home, bloodied to the core, and lost several of their members. Aryn has been kind to them, and for that they are in their debt. But even now they are not safe. What is left?


To go home.


They may be worn and weary, but they are not giving up yet. It is time to find out what Maggot has done to their territory, and whether or not it is safe to press on. And so, a plan of action comes about…


The Patrols

Nadia sends out two scouting groups, one of which she joins, to cross Charyn Pass and safely try to discover the situation in their territory. These patrols will aim to be as stealthy and observant as possible; combat is not their intent. They hope to determine exactly how much of a threat is present.


OOC: Looking for three to five wolves for each group, interested in participating in a collab! Sketch, background, and shading would be done by myself, and each participant would do their own character. TIME SENSITIVE. Looking to get these posted within a week (following the five days)!


Patrol 1 (3-5 wolves) Rowan, Ataw, Icicle, Kiri, Logos, Jura


Patrol 2 (3-4 wolves) Nadia, Polarstag, Balduin, Eustace, Sleet


Signups:

Character: Name Patrol: 1 or 2

Can you work up a part within a week: :D


Signups close five days from now, on the 28th at MIDNIGHT EST. I will announce the chosen wolves the next day!


PARTICIPANTS CHOSEN!!!!!!! See above!!


The Outcome

Maggot's forces... have abandoned Chandor. What remains is destruction. With this news, the Alaka’i makes the decision to take back their home. They say their goodbyes to Aryn, with newfound hope, and the pack crosses back into their territory. Nadia sends out more scouting groups to make sure the territory is clear once and for all. It is a victory, albeit an ominously easy one.


Where have the Hive wolves gone? And why?

There are no clear answers. But Chandor now has to deal with a mess of territory and a severe lack of both prey and medicinal herbs. It is going to be a long process to fix.


Task Prompts

Wolves are not to travel the territory alone, just as before, and neither are juveniles allowed out without one adult present. All wolves are tasked with cleanup duties alongside their usual ones.


Bear Totems: Protection. The warriors of the pack are expected to be on high alert. The first few excursions out into the territory is patrols made of mostly Bear Totems, seeking any signs of danger and reporting them back to the alpha. Conflict is to be avoided if possible, if any Hive wolves are spotted.


Elk Totems: With the herb stores completely destroyed, Chandor is left without its precious medical supply. Collecting and restocking is crucial.


Owl Totems: Aside from keeping a record of this for times to come, the Owls are in charge of rebuilding the camp. While a large portion of the land has been marred, the densite is first priority.


Lynx Totems: Most of the animal life that had lived in Chandor has vanished, leaving a prey-less territory. The Lynxes are permitted to roam beyond the borders, in safe groups, to search for food, as well as try and round up any of the deer and elk herds that they find and set them homeward.


Taskless: All able wolves are expected to help with the cleanup of the densite as well as assist the Lynx Totems in returning the herds to Chandor.

Winter 2020-21

The Domain is plagued by the coldest winter yet...


December 2020: Winter War Finale

Chandor and Xassa meet south of the former's borders to discuss a hopeful peace. More words can be shared later, however, as the presence of unfamiliar wolves leads to the meeting's swift end.

Spring 2021

As the Deep Freeze fades, the first signs of strange white intruders appear on the borders: large wolf prints, white fur, and disembowled prey...


*various minor happenings* no i am not linking every hive related piece


Summer 2021

More and more evidence of the white wolves begins to appear, and the beasts have been spotted here and there in the distance...

August 2021: No Prey for Mad Paws

The white beasts are spotted during a hunt, downing the prey they were stalking. All attempts at communication fail and the group has to fend off the large wolves.

Autumn 2021

With no end in sight to the violent white wolves, the pack keeps its guard up and hopes for the best, but the range of the beasts seems to extend beyond Chandor...


October 2021: Hunting Ground Havoc

Another corpse is discovered by a patrol meant to scout the herds - but this is the body of a wolf, brutally torn to pieces. And its means to an end are not far... two white wolves that approach and attack the group, forcing the patrol to fight.


October 2021: A Plan in Motion

A patrol from Xassa arrives at the border with a request: a meeting of all the Domain's pack leaders to discuss and decide how to handle the danger that threatens them.


November 2021: Double the Danger

A group of herb-collectors run into three white wolves near Morrow Cross. The ensuing battle triggers a rockslide, but that doesn't stop the beasts onslaught...

The cold winds do not slow down the bloodthirsty strangers, and the pack is left to struggle against another harsh season...


January 2022: Wolf Moon Gathering | Discussion

The council of alphas convenes to discuss plans against the threat of the white wolves. A plan is made...


February 21, 2022: Rise Up Nadia relays the first part of the battle plans against the Hive and chooses those who will travel with her to Mhor, as well as the wolves who will go to the Outpost.

Spring 2022

As the snows melt, it seems the packs of the Domain are on the cusp of war against the Hive...


March 1, 2022: Tide of Thorns (x)

The war party reaches the edge of Mhor, where they are met by Rowena and her group. But before they can plan any further, they are ambushed by the Hive. There is no other option but to fight their way out.


March 3, 2022: Nightcrawler (x)

With the camp quiet and half the pack gone, opportunity is taken by the Hive. A new face appears as General Maggot strikes the heart of Chandor. While at first they fight back, they realize quickly they are overwhelmed and outmatched.


March 3, 2022: To Refuge (x)

Navindru leads the pack eastward, and they manage to loose the Hive in the mountains that border Chandor and Aryn. As they trudge through the woods of their neighbor, a patrol finds them and takes them back to Aryn's densite. Lady Cassandra allows them to stay and recover.


April 3, 2022: Bittersweet

Chandor's war party leaves the battlegrounds at Flora Fields and heads back home with plans to recover and reconvene. But they arrive to a frighteningly barren territory, covered in scents of the white wolves... luck has their side and they meet up with a small patrol on the outskirts of Aryn - with the face of one of their own among them: Ataw. Confused and alarmed, the patrol updates the war party on what has happened, and escorts them back to Aryn's den site, where they reunite with the rest of Chandor.


May 6, 2022: Hex's Jinx (x) (x) (x)

There is little respite for both Aryn and Chandor. Only a short time following the war party's return form Mhor, a dire situation unfolds one stormy afternoon. General Hex and a force of drones descend upon the camp, and the two packs are forced to fight for survival. But they prevail, and as Hex leaps from the cliffs, the rest of the Hive wolves not fallen flee the scene.

Summer 2022

Warm winds have not changed the dire times...


July 2022: Valley Calling (x) (x) (x)

Chandor is weary after yet more losses, but they and Aryn have survived still. Nadia takes the opportunity of a break to check on the status of their own territory. Two patrols are sent out into the depths of Chandor's lands, expecting to find the Hive skulking about, but instead are met with a grim emptiness. Maggot is gone and so is her fleet. It is time to go home...


August 2022: Calling For Aid (x)

Though their territory is quieter than before, the Hive remains. And one late summer day a pair of Mhorians show up, with an important message: They are gathering the packs of the Domain in one final stand against the white beasts. Will Chandor join?


AUTUMN 2022

Cold weather comes, and so does the end...


October 2022: United We Stand

This is it: the end of all things. The seven packs of the Domain have gathered in the east, ready to face the villians that have plagued them for so long, and to defeat the very heart: the Hive Queen herself. Chandor joins the battle with teeth and fang.


October 2022: Homecoming, Again

They have won, though at the cost of many lives. It is time to return home, this time for good. The Hive Wars are over, and the Domain is victorious.
