Forbidden Kingdom of the Wolves- A Roleplay discussion

For longer than any living being can remember, there have been wolves. The wolves you see today are outcasts and heretics, condemned to live outside of the true world of the wolves.

The Forbidden Kingdom of the Wolves.

There are four tribes- the Star Tribe, the Leaf Tribe, the Rock Tribe, and the Breeze Tribe. Each have their own characteristics and lifestyles. The Old Code binds them to the way of life they all share and dictates rules for all tribes to follow.

The Star Tribe is peaceful and less stringent about honoring the Old Code. The royals are friendlier to their commoners and tend to spend more time mingling with them than in their own residence. They live on the Firen Plateau in the center of the Kingdom, open to the elements. The Star Tribe lives on a large island between two rivers and they can swim easily. Their island is a composition of tunnels and hollows directly below earth's surface for the ordinary peoples and a complicated cave for the royals and their accompaniments.

The Leaf Tribe lives in a vast forest called Sarepia Forest (if anyone plays Animal Jam they get that reference) south of the plateaus. They are fierce warriors and often warlike. For them, the Old Code is life. The Leaf Tribe commoners live scattered among the forest, unlike the dense population of the Star Tribe. The royals reside in an old abandoned structure likely from the beginning of the wolves' reign here, back when some humans still inhabited it. The structure is what humans would call a castle and is full of places for the wolves to come and go. Although the rulers love their people, they prefer to remain in their domain and let the people come to them with their troubles.

The Rock Tribe lives in a vast community of caves and tunnels under the plateau and Lupian Mountains. They share a lot of space as their numbers are greater than the amount of available space, but it is generally relatives and good friends that share caves. A giant cavern under the plateau serves as the communal area for processions, markets, and whatnot. The personality of Rock Tribe members varies. With their own people they are friendly and pleasant, but around other tribes they are distant, cold, and secretive. They are often feared by the others. The royals all have their own cave that are connected to their 'Great Hall,' which leads directly to the cavern. Confusing, right?

The Breeze Tribe lives in the rocky and often cold Lupian Mountains to the north of the Firen plateau. They are cautious and weather-beaten people that are always tired and weary yet always battle ready. These wolves occupy the entire mountain range, but the main concentration of the population is next to the two rivers that lead out to the plateau, both of which have the same mouth at the highest habitable peak- Dire Peak. At the mouth of the two is a huge sheltered rocky cavern that is the life of the kingdom. The royals live in caves slightly above the floor of the cavern and can always hear the bustle of the marketplace and activity below them. The ordinary people in the center live in old structures left behind by the humans, as there is an abundance of them.


The seasons to the wolves are thus: icewolf for winter, newwolf for spring, warmwolf for summer, and windwolf for fall/autumn. They call dawn peeking-sun and twilight peeking-moon. Noon for them is middle-sun and midnight is middle-moon.

The wolves believe in a divine being they call the Dire, as in dire wolf. The Dire is their creator and the one whose unseen paw guides the wolves along the paths of Fate and Destiny. The wolves have a mythology that will be created later. ^-^

The Leaf Tribe on the brink of war with Star Tribe and the Rock Tribe is caught in the middle. The Leaf Tribe has accused the Star Tribe of stealing prey and territory, which they haven't. Criminals have been instilling these claims by making false border marks and stealing prey. The Breeze and Rock Tribes struggle whether to remain neutral or claim sides.

Geography is an important part of the kingdom. In the center of the kingdom is the Firen Plateau, large and flat. The Twin Rivers run through it, intersecting at some points, and thunder down the side of the plateau in a waterfall that serves as the entrance to the Rock Tribe cavern. After the waterfall it runs through Sarepia Forest and then to the ocean. The ocean takes up the west and south, the beaches running up to the plateau base and edge of the smaller woods, south of Sarepia. Tribe less wolves hang out on the beaches and in the small forest, which the Tribe wolves have begun calling Tribeless Woods. Sarepia is to the southeast of Firen Plateau and stretches all the way around the east and northeast of the plateau. The two territories meet at the spot where the plateau slopes down in a steep hill and meets the forest. The Lupian Mountains are to the northwest of the plateau, cold and steep. In the middle of the range is the tallest inhabitable mountain that the main population of the Breeze Tribe lives on- Dire Peak, which is where the mouth of the Twin Rivers is. The Rock Tribe lives in the network of caves under the mountains and plateau. The mountains stretch in both directions but haven't been fully explored. Tribeless also occupy abandoned caves and basically just roam.
