Halcyon Valley
Literate | Realistic | Mapped | Rivaled | Active | Long-Term


All three of our packs are recruiting!

This is a strictly active roleplay.
If you can only log on one or two days a week, this roleplay isn't for you!

For all the details, check out our site!

An Introduction
We are a literate, realistic, mapped, long-term wolf roleplay! There are three packs in this roleplay, all of which reside on the same large map. We are strictly active (30+ members are online almost every day, the other members are online at least three days a week). We are active from 2:00pm CST to 12:00pm CST on weekdays, and random intervals on weekends.

For an introduction to our story, click the spoiler below!

Halcyon Valley is set in Monte Mottac, a lower alpine mountain range located in northern Italy.
The year is 110 BC, during the rise of the Roman Empire.

After the original Ashwinter pack fell, those who had managed to escape the Romans went searching for a place of refuge. Along the way, they met others, who joined them on their quest. It was about a month later that the group found such a land, which they so fittingly named "Halcyon Valley." Resources were plentiful. There were no signs of humans, nor of other wolves. What's more is, amazingly, the entire valley seemed to be sealed off by mountains. It was here that the Ashwinter pack was reformed. A few months later, a new pack, the Zephyrwillow pack, entered the valley. This friendly bunch who claimed territory in the northeast didn't seem to pose a threat, but a new threat soon became apparent. Aodhan, a member of the Ashwinter pack, had secretly formed his own pack. When Valerie, alphess of the Ashwinter pack, found out, she approached Aodhan. It was then that Aodhan and the Evershade pack completely split off from the Ashwinter pack, and claimed territory in the northwest. What adventures lie ahead for the wolves of Halcyon Valley? Join us, and find out!

The Packs
Ashwinter Pack: This pack is of the "neutral" alignment. Led by Valerie, a friendly wolfess with an erratic temperament.
Zephyrwillow Pack: This pack is of the "good" alignment. Led by Arlot, an eccentric wolf that strives for peace.
Evershade Pack: This pack is of the "evil" alignment. Led by Aodhan, an aloof wolf with unpredictable motives.

The Map
Halcyon Valley is a rather large, somewhat diverse map. The northwest, southwest, and northeast corners are more rugged, mountainous areas. The southeast corner is a dense forest. The interior is more plains-like in nature, but there are many trees scattered around. A river partially divides the map, separating the three packs. A winter map has been created, and is used for four months of the roleplay year.

Ranks
If you would like to join, you must choose a working rank. Alternatively, you may choose to be a pup.

Click the spoiler below for details about our working ranks.

Medic
Medics are responsible for the upkeep of herb supplies, monitoring the health of the wolves within the pack, and providing medical aid to those with injuries. They are also expected to pupsit more often than the other working ranks, due to the fact that their job does not normally require them to leave the camp. Medics almost always work alone.

Scout
Scouts are responsible for venturing outside of the territory to gather information and check for any potential threats. In times of war, they are expected to investigate the other pack's borders, and keep an eye on the members of the other pack. They are also expected to track other wolves, should the need arise. Scouts work alone or in pairs.

Warden
Wardens are responsible for guarding the territory's borders. They are also expected to accompany anyone who requests their protection when venturing outside of the territory. In times of war, they are expected to step up as the first line of defense. When on border patrol, wardens often work in pairs or in trios.

If you would like to join our roleplay, please fill out the form below and post here. You may be brief with your character's appearance and history description. We just want to be sure that your character is realistic, and that the history makes sense in the context of the roleplay!

Aw, thank you!~ If you ever become un-busy, we'd be happy to have you! c:

Also, I have uploaded some pictures of the map! I have included a comparison picture, to try and show people the scale of the map. ^-^

Edit: For some reason, I cannot put the pictures in the original post. So, I will post them here!

Edit again: Actually, I think it's working now. Never mind, haha. You can find the pictures under the "The Map" spoiler. c:

Great! You can go ahead and skip it if you'd like. I'm in-game now, so we can talk there. We have 11 people on the map, haha. Got another one coming, too. Simply whisper "savvyjackal" in-game. c:

Aye aye! Once I get the idea I'll hop in-game and friend you. Oh and are there any marking/item packs the RP uses?

Items are a no-no, 'cause of the whole realism aspect. As for markings,

That's what many of us use. I look forward to talking with you. c::
