Located in Sundered Roost
Sundered Roost
A vale secluded between dueling mountain peaks, the Sundered Roost is famed for its incredible, starry nightscapes, luscious, fertile valley, and turbulent river rapids. The cliffs reach so far into the sky that rumor has it that you can even touch the stars. The mountains are armored well with hallowed caves and hidden shelves, perfect for a makeshift fortress, or a clumsy animal's demise- falling down hundreds of feet to the valley below. An abundance of elk herds feasts on the fields of grass along with snarky mountain goats, pronghorn deer, and a plethoric variety of other Cervidae. The only natural predator here is the esteemed grizzly bears.

News!
Velaris has been founded. — 08/16/2023
VELARIONS
Keepers of their vale. Velaris is an open city and allies itself with positive morality to serve the purpose of protecting one's own. The official language of Velaris is Valyrian.
At its heart, Velarions are a robust, determined pack who value morality, character, and allegiance to their own blood and brood. There is no tolerance for weakness. Many can describe these wolves to be ‘savage’ or ‘hostile,’ but their loyalty to one another aids in prosperity and serving the common good. They are known for their impeccable tenacity and passion above all else. The vale strongly believes in the well-being of the brood as a whole, as opposed to placing a unique emphasis on the individual. It does not seek to deify one wolf, one soul, rather, they emphasize the passion and connection between one another. Their relationship with the highland is a delicate balance of give and take that must be observed. This harmonious kinship with the natural world gives life to a Velarion’s spirituality and purpose. The wolves of the vale possess a devotive affinity for the land they live on. Given the harsh, brutal conditions, they value this beloved kinship and are rewarded with safety and fruitful fields.

Celebrations
all festivals are held in the heart of the Vale, the wildflower valley.
all festivals are held in the heart of the Vale, the wildflower valley.
Aurion Strife
The Aurion Strife is a coming-of-age ceremony that starts the transition from whelping puphood to the apprentice year. Pups breaching one year of age will be able to choose a trade that they wish to learn more about, and ultimately master in their later years. The leaders of these trades will take it upon themselves to teach the pups under a mentorship. This celebration can last for about a week with a plethora of food and typical traditional dances given by the new adolescents themselves.
Birth of the Heirs
The Birth of the Heirs is a celebration of the effect that the Elska is currently pregnant. At the mark of her pregnancy, there will be a celebration beneath the stars of a joint prayer led by the Toska. When the litter is born and the pups are walking age, they will make their debut for the pack to see their future leaders. It is a joyous occasion for all and will be a festival lasting about a few days revolving around nights full of food, dance, and song. At the end of the last night of the festival, the pups will linger underneath the night sky and be blessed under the Star Mother’s light.
Union
A union between two wolves deserve celebration of love, happiness, and good fortune. Wolves in the pack can breed outside of wedlock, but monogamy is heavily favored within the Vale. The Toska will typically bless the pair at sunset, and the night will end in song and dance, the newly wedded pair leading the first dance.
Blood Rite
The Blood Rite is a mandatory rite that up-and-coming members of the warfront, shadowwalkers, and the huntsman. During this Rite, a duo or trio at a time will make their journey up the deadliest, tallest, steepest peak of the Roost. This trek is not for the faint of heart. The Rite is traditionally completed during the transition from winter to spring. Once at the top of the mountain, the wolves who have made it will slice their paw to draw blood on the Rite Stone and will then be accepted as full-fledged members. If a prospective member fails, they will have to wait a full year to complete the rite once more.
Starfall
Starfall is a festival that happens at the changing of the seasons. During the cusp of night when the stars 'fall' from the sky, there will be a celebration that the season has shifted. That the souls from the Depths have relinquished themselves to the Empirium for retribution. This festival calls for decorative colors— berries, mainly, that are squashed into paste and etched onto the Velarions faces. Commemorative dances and a feast follow suit.
