The Elk's Crown
Surrounded by redwood, oak, birch, maple, and even pine trees, a serene land is painted to those who cross here. Plentiful in its bounty, streams cross the land and harbor a large herd. Within the depths is the king of them all. On occasion, one may see the grand ruler, a large-standing elk, who guards the sacred forest.

Elkshire wolves are generally secluded individuals, though friendly to each other as they reside deep within the forest. Protective over their claim and that around, many times they'll give proper warning to leave, but when a thread occurs, they come together as a proper pack. Though in particular, often wolves of pure-white will not be allowed, other colors may vary, but the Queen would not allow someone of snow white to enter the woods. They are particularly neutral but will take in allies if the deal suits them so.
They hold claim officially to The Elk's Crown, but also claim Royal Wisteria Woodland & Sleeping Doe's Range

'NEWSLETTER'
September 2022 Doc has been promoted to Sawbone! Meanwhile have accepted Rafferty into the ranks, while Edith returns from her journey, but not with Warwick or Calhoun.
August 2022 The waters are poisoned! Beware of drinking for rot has plagued their waters and has caused death to Prince Seaver, and Nympheria of Labrynthian. Many have gotten sick, but the cause has been unknown until Queen Celnes came across rotten carcasses within the river. It's starting to thin out.. As they hold a funeral for not only Seaver, but lost a guard, Nikitas, to lightning as well. After all of that — Faust was found being attacked in the Woodlands, and a new enemy is on Elkshire's hit list. His name is unknown, but he is dubbed as 'the red-eyed devil'.
Arizona and Adrastos are also welcomed as Elkshire's new Wayfarer's!
July 2022 We welcome a few new members! Wapiti, a child found by Hawking and dubbed as his caretaker. We also welcome a new medic by the name of Doc! And finally, Elkshire announced a new ally in the temperate, relatively new in the region but now an alliance is formed.
April 2022 Rahma and Hawking have joined Elkshire! Both of which are Divine Deer to, and are to be treated as equals. Hawking has also found a 'portal' within the north of the temperate that led him into a strange jungle. It's advised by the Queen to avoid as the true dangers are unknown. It cannot be said if those who enter, will return like Hawking.
March 2022 Three royal children, Edith, Calhoun and Aldritch have gone missing. During the search, Queen Celnes was injured by a cougar and currently recuperating within the royal den. She still asks everyone able to search far and wide for them. She gives Warwick authority to use at his discretion while she recovers.
Feburary 2022 — a guest by the name of Minthe is welcomed to the woods for a temporary time (or joins permanent) advised to treat neutrality and help nourish to health.
September 2021 — bear within Royal Wisterian Woodlands, on a friendly basis, do not hurt, they are an ally
ORIGINS
"Oh thirsty fire, hear the voice of water"Long ago did the first Queen, Celnes, live within the old home of the Déorwine family, Kingslend. However a fire had taken hold of their kingdom, and so many had to flee. Originally so she had lost all, and took refuge to another pack - but with enough healing, and finding her siblings, they were determined to rebuild. Upon rebuilding their claim and finding where the High Elk, the Déorwine God, has reclaimed, they cross mountains and rivers, forests and plains, till' finally finding their home. Alongst the way met many family, and so to rebuild the nation, they started anew.
However with wanting power, Celnes accepted many that are consider unholy, and this disharmony to the devotee's of the High Elk. As tragedies soon follow, eventually retribution came from the two rulers, Celnes and Cenric. Stabbed by irony itself, a white elk.. Though only one, awoke alone within the new land that it was.
There does she rebuild what was lost, but now in the name of Elkshire. A new hatred carries with the association of white wolves, but she quite leniant to other colors. Now generally many wolves vary within their hues, but the brown-coated may always be in favored. Now within The Elk's Crown does the deer-loving group remain, and hoping to grow larger.
RELIGION
Though not all within the Elkshire group follow the religion, it is still deemed an important aspect of them. The Queen herself follows the way, and thus the group is similar. They do not allow the hunting of horned elk, finding that they are Apostles to the High Elk. Though once it was an allowance to be able to hunt those without their antlers - it has now been banned that no hunting of elk or deer is permitted. Certain traditions are followed, an albeit dscrimination toward white-wolves in the mixture, the Déorwine family customs and religion are not forced down upon. Anyone may join regardless of their thoughts on God, but a respect to the High Elk is still to be asked. More about their religion can be found HERE.

Where the fallen lay, a place within The Elk's Crown that even the elk find themselves settling to when it is time to embrace the High Elk's afterlife. Variety of bones are litter beneath the moss, and Elkshire's own is lightly buried before being covered as well. Those who lay here, were those who held the pack's name.

@Seaver
The young prince of Elkshire, from the second litter of Queen Celnes. He died from poisoned water on 8/2/2022
