Eastern Pack

## History

Eastern pack was established over 100 years ago during The Rearrangement. Just like any other pack before the big event, Eastern pack used to be a small group of wandering wolves.

### Government

Eastern pack has a diarchy, meaning that the power is vested in two; the successor and the mate. That power comes from a certain family, and the power is inherited from one generation to the next. Both males and females can succeed in becoming a leader.

The pack also practices form of hierarchy, although it isn't there to make wolves of higher ranks to put down the lower ranked wolves, but to encourage all to challenge themselves — to achieve certain positions. The following order of the hierarchy is: leader (closed), secondary leader (leader's mate), commander, captain, ambassador, healer & soldier.

## Culture

### Lifestyle

Timber wolves live in caves or make dens out of branches that are covered in moss and leaves.

Timber wolves mate for life. Unlike in the other packs, timber wolves are allowed to mate with anyone they want to and can decide their own ways within their families. Timber wolves are also free to separate if they find the relationship not workable or something else prevents the relationship. Leaders of the pack are also free to mate with anyone and any ranked, but it is recommended to mate with a higher ranked wolf. Also, with future leaders if they already happen to find someone, they are then made to be betrothed to each other until the ascension.

Eastern pack don't really have traditions of their own.

### Religion

Eastern pack practices Creed of The Heavenly Mánnu, aka worshiping the Moon. The religion, however, isn’t a big part of timber wolves’ lives anymore as it used to be generations ago. Timber wolves still do all the rituals and prayers, as a tribute and remembrance to their ancestors.

### Gammas & Omegas

Unlike in the other packs, Eastern pack treats gammas as equals and gives omegas a chance to stay in their territory or in the pack to regain their strength, or even gives them a chance to redeem themselves.

### Pack law

Breaking pack law will cause the guilty party to be either outcasted or banished. Such laws include adultery, as timber wolves believe in love and favors faithfulness in relationships, theft and assault.

### Burial

Eastern pack's burial ceremony is the most common one and way. When a packmember dies, the whole pack will gather to pay their respects. The dead are buried underground, usually in a place that the deceased hold dear to themselves ( birthplace, childhood area, place of bonding etc.). The leaders usually are buried on top of hills. Day after the burial, the timber wolves holds a day dedicated for the deceased, in which they will put their respective duties on hold and concentrate on remembering/tributing.

## External relations

Timber wolves has the most and durable alliances with the other packs, as they want to have good relations with one another, and most importantly to be at peace.

### Northern Pack

Out of all the packs, the closest and strongest alliance the timber wolves have is with the grey wolves.

### Western Pack

Whilst very little interaction has happened between the packs, the valley wolves still agreed to have an alliance. To contrast, the timber wolves promised to let them be, only to contact when necessary.

### Southern Pack

As with the others, red wolves used to have good relations with the timber wolves, but since they lost their faith towards the deity and the rise of the 13th leader, these relations crumbled. Red wolves and timber wolves has been having a feud for the past six generations, and during them the red wolves had had started a war; timber wolves predominantly distrust and shun the red wolves for the atrocities committed during the attacks. However, currently the two packs are in a ceasefire-like state, mostly due to the Southern pack's scarcity of soldiers.
