Damasca

Damasca

## Origin

The horde was originally formed when a rival tribe conquered the local clan of Stormhaven, forcing them into servitude. When the task could no longer be completed by their fathers, their children, and their children’s children continued the cycle. A cycle which was stopped when Vargas incited a rebellion and liberated the slaves.

After eliminating the worst of Stormhaven's pack members, Vargas took the title of Khasar. The newly formed group of bandits left their homeland and founded Damasca, proudly laying claim to the area, despite the challenges it faces.

### Ravager

* The first line of defense for Damasca, all matters of wolves are welcome to the task as long as you are able to keep up with the tedious regiment. Wild and strong, ravagers act as warriors, protecting the horde from threats, and usually go out as escorts with wayfarers on scouting and diplomatic missions. Around the clan, the Ravagers are the enforcers. They see to it that every wolf keeps up with his or her work and handles any disputes among its members.

### Shaman

* Healers and scholars of Damasca, these wolves are tasked with the care and education of the entire pack. Shaman must be meticulous, patient, and detailed oriented as they strive to keep the horde healthy with their sometimes limited stock. However, the Shaman’s duties not only lie in the healing arts, but also in creating new and better herbal medicines or poisons for the Damascan to vendor off for more game.

### Wayfarer

* The cartographers, the navigators, and the negotiators of Damasca. As scouts, Wayfarers must learn the lay of the land for they will have a variety of jobs in not only Damasca, but in other areas of the domain as well. Wayfarers are clever and well-spoken, often the first representatives sent out to serve as diplomats or scouts. They must also keep an eye out for vulnerable pack-lands that might interest the tribe.

### Hawker

* Hawkers are the life-source of the pack. They act as hunters keeping the pack well-fed and sustained. Keen of sense and swift of foot these wolves assist the clan by detecting game trails and predicting prey migrations. Yearlong the hawkers are at work, trailing migrating herds and leading the horde to each food source in order for the pack to survive.
