The Valle Family.

An Original Dynasty from the Wildwood Coast, the Valle family were instrumental in the Wolf Reintroduction Program to Relic Lore. Lifted by humans from their homeland, they were introduced to Relic Lore in Year XI and scattered about. The Valle name is passed along on both maternal and paternal sides, any family member who chooses to shed their surname for another will be cast out without second thought. Those who carry the name are expected to hold it proudly, and were free to breed within the Estuary pack as they saw fit, but that all changed when they arrived in Relic Lore. The leadership is not passed along to only the offspring of the leader, any Valle can petition the council to become the new leader when the old one passes. The members of the council is made of anyone who volunteers, however to do so they must relinquish any ability to ever sit as leader. Their sole goal is to continue the Valle blood living and ruling the Estuary, which means their loyalties really only lay with themselves. That being said, they’re not necessarily evil wolves and they pride themselves on remaining neutral in all situations.

Notable Facts

• The Valle wolves were introduced to Relic Lore by humans in January of Year XI (2021).
• Valles are responsible for the founding of Dead Empress Backwater, the first pack formed after RoW's re-opening in 2021.

The First Generation of Valles

Katna and Venkat Valle are staples in their family. Katna has led the Estuary for as long as anyone can really remember, but in recent years she's started to slip. Prior to the move, her mind started to wander, and with their move, Venkat and Katna are left uncertain of where they are, or how they will lead a pack in a land they do not know, without a council to guide them.

Katna Valle The last leader of Drowned Water Estuary. Now aging, her body has begun to decline as evidenced by her stiff hips and the limp that makes itself apparent in the coldest months. Her mate died many seasons ago and she never took another, throwing her whole focus into the success of the pack. She has always been seen as exemplifying the values of the pack, but things aren’t always as they seem. Not only has her body began to fail but Katna’s mind is also beginning to slip away from her. Her choices are becoming looser and less rational, her actions more unpredictable.

Unknown Valle Katna's mate, sire of her children

Venkat Valle Katna’s younger brother is her only remaining sibling, the others had all gone off to take wives and lead other far off packs or to become wives themselves. Quiet by nature Venkat watches from the sidelines, more than happy to fill the role of trusted advisor to his sister and the pack in general. It would be foolish to assume that he hadn’t noticed his sister’s decline, but, he has never addressed it. Now without her and the pack who he has always known he will have to find a way to survive.

The Second Generation of Valles

The second generation of Valles were born within the Estuary. Five wolves fall into the blood relation of this generation starting with Iounia and ending with Sita. All of these wolves have taken up their places within the Estuary, and all were transported at some point to Relic Lore in January of 2021.

Iounia Valle Iounia and Italia are Katna’s oldest children and though they don’t necessary look like sisters their minds are connected like they are a single canine. Raised with the goal of one of them taking over the pack once their mother passes they are both driven and focused. However, the right thing to do is becoming less clear and more murky as they scramble to cover up their mother’s declining mental capacity. It’s becoming harder with each passing day to protect their mother's reputation, and now they don't even know where she is. Will they decide to look for her, or is their opportunity to live their own lives free of expectation?

Italia Valle Iounia and Italia are Katna’s oldest children and though they don’t necessary look like sisters their minds are connected like they are a single canine. Raised with the goal of one of them taking over the pack once their mother passes they are both driven and focused. However, the right thing to do is becoming less clear and more murky as they scramble to cover up their mother’s declining mental capacity. It’s becoming harder with each passing day to protect their mother's reputation, and now they don't even know where she is.

Amondi Valle Of all of Katna’s children, Amondi looks the most like her mother. Less ambitious than her parents and older siblings she is happy to raise her family in the security that residing in the pack provides. She served as a broodmother to the multiple litters the pack normally births each spring she is must softer than most Valle wolves. This does not mean she can be pushed around, when it comes down to it her heritage is very apparent, especially if any of the children are threatened.

Rochus Ward Rochus is Amondi’s “mate”, though it was always a power move in Rochus’ mind. He sees Amondi as overly soft, which made her the perfect target to cozy himself up to what he regarded as the most powerful family in the area. He puts on a good show of his affection and his wife is none the wiser, either that or she puts up with the falsity to provide a happy home for their children. The Valle’s loyalty may lay with the pack but Rochus has always and will always, do what needs to be done to make himself come out on top. Now it seems all of his plotting was for nothing because the family name means nothing when there is no pack to conquer.

Sita Valle Sita is the youngest of Katna’s children but, she has never been coddled a day in her life. She has a lot to prove and a competitive streak to show for it. Sita takes after her uncle Venkat and thinks herself to be somewhat of his apprentice, though he would strongly deny this claim. Sita would settle for being an advisor but had dreams of one day leading the pack, though she’s not stupid enough to cause a huge ripple doing it. Her mate, Platon, disappeared on a scouting mission shortly after mating season and hasn’t been heard from since.

Vasco Halex Vasco has been pining after Sita since he laid eyes on her, even though he knew her heart always laid with Platon. When her mate disappeared he was first in line to comfort her, and their long nightly walks led them to become very close, close enough that there’s no way to be sure if Sita’s litter was truly a product of her marriage. Sworn to secrecy Vasco wouldn’t dare betray his unrequited love’s trust, but can’t help but feel jealous and resentful every time someone compliments the children on how they’re strong and brave just like their father. And, it’s only a matter of time before people begin to suspect that Sita’s daughter looks strangely more like Vasco while her sons could be Platon’s twins. Now that he's separated from everyone who will he look for first, the love of his life who doesn't feel the same way, or his secret child?

Modesto Valle Modesto looks less like the majority of Katna's pups, taking on the darker coat like Italia before her. She is a very determined and strong willed woman, taking her name and heritage with a serious pride. Her placement within the council is apparent. Though not to rule in the spotlight as Leader, she makes sure her ideas are heard amongst the pack. Perhaps because she is too selfish or shallow, she has not found a male yet worth calling mate nor has had any pups of her own. What little motherly affection she has is given to her sister, Amondi's children and Amondi herself. Very protective of her well being due to her sister's more delicate nature and the fact that she can see right through Rochus' facade.

The Third Generation of Valles

This was the last generation born within the Estuary prior to the move to Relic Lore, and most were mere yearlings during the move. Currently six wolves make up this generation, starting with Andrey and ending with Hazelnut, both of litters from Sita.

Amondi and Rochus' Litter (2019)

Sharlee Valle Sharlee is the oldest child of Amondi and Rochus. She looks most like her father which she takes pride in as well as the Valle name. She thinks of herself as strong and capable of doing anything she sets her mind to. However, she has an anxious streak and becomes nervous in unfamiliar situations. She is loyal to her family and though she is still young will do what it takes to protect them. She always felt she knew where she stood in the pack but now without them and in a new land she must find her place again.

Vayko Valle Vayko is a younger brother and the youngest. As a result he is tenacious and there is nothing he does not want out of life. He's opinionated and loud. Vayko has been described as many things, but 'kind' or 'cheerful' are not words that are often associated with him. He perpetually wakes up on the wrong side of the bed. He is excessively proud of himself and vain to a fault. He thrives off the manipulation of others, so think twice before you accept a gift from him because he will most certainly want something in return. He always has to have a strategy, a plan in motion. It doesn't matter if it's a simple hunt strategy or a quest for world domination, he wants all of it. He looks similar to his mother, tawny with golden eyes. Upon arriving in the Lore, Vayko worked with his cousin, Viorel, to found Dead Empress Backwater, establishing roots and a kingdom of all their own. He currently leads alongside his cousin. Still impulsive and a bit of a wild child, he tends to channel his chaotic energy into productiveness through patrolling and confronting loners, taking up a more level-headed approach to leadership that is sure to surprise those who know him best. As the years have passed, he has now strained relations with all those he holds dear and manifested a case of Paranoid Personality Disorder, leaving him to abandon his family, including 4 pups who were nearing a year of age, and head back to the coastline.

Sita and Platon's Litter (2019)

Andrey Valle Andrey blurb

Viorel Valle Viorel was the second born son of Sita's first litter, making him the middle child. His black phase grey pelt and yellow eyes make him the splitting image of the father that he never met, since Platon disappeared before he was born. As just a yearling Viorel was one of the first wolves reintroduced to Relic Lore along with Andrey and Vayko. Back at home he was a cheerful, bold, yet fairly judgmental wolf, but now so far from everything that he's ever known, how has his fate changed? Upon arriving in the Lore, Viorel worked with his cousin, Vayko, to found Dead Empress Backwater, establishing roots and a kingdom of all their own. He currently leads alongside his cousin.

Vayko and Clover's Litter (2023)

Torianna Valle Torianna, the eldest surviving offspring of Clover and Vayko's sole litter, possessed an innate sense of independence that blossomed from a tender age, evolving into a demeanor marked by an increasingly abrasive edge. Her affinity with the sword was apparent from the outset, and she wielded it with a fearlessness that allowed her to assert her dominance over others. However, the abrupt abandonment by her father when she was nearing her first birthday forced her to reassess her approach. Gradually, she adopted a more strategic mindset, becoming discerning in the application of her blade, giving the impression of a softened demeanor. Yet beneath this veneer of apparent tranquility, Torianna engaged in a constant internal dialogue, meticulously evaluating the advantages and drawbacks of each action. Drawing inspiration from the archetype of the horseman Conquest, she exhibited an unyielding resolve in her pursuit of satisfaction and the acquisition of anything within her grasp. This amalgamation of traits rendered her a formidable force, unafraid to assert her authority and lay claim to whatever she deemed rightfully hers.

Yagnenok Valle She was the lamb, slain to bring forth the four horsemen. In reality, she was the first born child of Clover and Vayko, destined to never draw breath as she was stillborn. Despite attempts to revive her and make her draw breath, it never happened. Her location in this library is symbolic and in memory of her despite the fact that she was never playable and technically never lived.

The Fifth Generation of Valles

This generation was kickstarted when Archer bred without permission upon his first eligible breeding season. This generation wove the Slayer, Vuesain, Archer, and Valle bloodlines together.
