Fallen Tree Cove
About Fallen Tree Cove.
Finding her way back to the Lore after being kidnapped by her father and his pack, Athena Moon went back to her love, Ash Hervok and daughter, Aurora Thanne , hoping they’d understand and welcome her back. Broken, bloodied, and one-eyed, she was shown little compassion in the eyes of Ash and Narimé Lagina when she arrived back on Whisper Cavern soil. Though she was accepted back by Narime, she never felt welcome like she was before. Knowing that she could no longer sit beneath Ash and Narime, she made her way to Fireweed Rise to get her thoughts in order. That’s where she met up with Silver, the Whisper Cavern’s scout. Silver voiced her comfort in Athena’s company and demanded that she go wherever Athena went from now on. Athena told Silver of her plans of leaving Whisper Caverns and creating her own pack once again and together they set out on a mission to recruit others and stake their claim on the Lost Lake.
Taking a scouting trip to the lake, Athena and Silver met their first founding member, aside from themselves, in Vespertio Vuesain. With a promise of power for Vesper if he completed her mission of finding another member, the three parted ways agreeing to meet back at the lake when Athena called and Vesper and Athena meeting back at the lake early at only five days to see if he succeeded in his mission. Five days pass and Athena meets up with Vesper and with him he brings her sister, Andromache Moon, that was out for her blood for killing their father. The two scuffle , Athena the winner and the two talk it out and Roma becomes the fourth founding member of Fallen Tree Cove.
Athena and Vesper meet up again and they discover the future pack den that was made by the avalanches that swept down the mountainside in the winter of 2013. They discover this nature made den, sheltered on three sides by fallen boulders from the mountains and concealed with fallen trees, in the cove on the northeastern side of the lake. Here they come up with their pack’s future name: Fallen Tree Cove.
The summer is a quite one for the wolves of the cove as they go about their lives and watch Namid's pups grow. For a long time it is not evident that something is wrong until just before winter strikes. After the loss of one of her pups Namid falls into a depression. When Moonshadow returns from her unannounced absence she is asked by Vespertio to take over as the lead female. She agrees to the temporary position and only a short time later it is announced to the pack. Many of the members have their own difficulties with this but they soon come to terms with it.
Shortly after Moonshadow takes over as lead female the cove wolves get a perfect opportunity to stock their caches. Vespertio comes across a bull elk that would feed the pack for some time. He calls the others and as a team they work to bring down the elk. As winter sets in it proves to be a harsh one but the cove wolves take it in stride. Just when they are in the thick of it they are joined by an old member Tagg and a new member Eido who help to bring hope to the cove. As the months pass Namid slowly starts to recover and shortly after they get their two new members she takes her place as alpha once more.
After being back under the Vuesain's rule for a month the threat in the form of a lynx threatens the cove. Namid with a number of her subordinates gather together to take down the cat successfully. A week later they are once again joined by an old face, Desideria, who has clearly changed since last they saw her. Still she is welcomed into the pack with open paws. As breeding season gets underway Tagg seeks permission to breed with Moonshadow and Kajika with Desideria. Both males are granted their permission however while Tagg and Moonshadow are successful Kajika and Desideria are not.
Kajika leaves the pack for a short time during which Moonshadow and Lunette go missing. Upon his return Kajika has brought with him Anaia from Whitestone Monadnock to join Fallen Tree Cove, she is accepted. The beta also learns of the missing females and set out with Tagg to find them. They find Moonshadow after a few days of searching in very bad condition but they bring her home and get her the help she needs.
Mere days after Moonshadows return Kajika discovers that Desideria has also gone missing. After a few hours of searching he discovers her body, she has been murdered. This discovery angers the pack and they vow to seek revenge. As the pack mourns the death of their lost member Lunette is returned to them by Leotie, a member of Charred Ash Draw, the pack where the young Vuesain had spent the time since her disappearance.
It is not long after the return of Lunette that Moonshadow gives birth to her litter. The pack is struck by both joy and tragedy as only one of the three pups Moonshadow gives birth to survives. In the month that follows Chan, Moonshadow's son grows and thrives loved by all in the cove.
Pack pride colors for Fallen Tree Cove are "Twilight Pink (#f757a7)" and "Sunrise Orange (#fd641e)."
The Wolves of Fallen Tree Cove.
- Current Leaders: Kajika Tallis & Birtie Parlow-Tallis
- Established: November 21st, 2014
- Location: Fallen Tree Cove, Lost Lake, Serpent’s Pass, Relic Lore.
- Den Description: Located on the northeastern side of the Lost Lake a peaceful cove extends out from the parenting lake which harbors the Fallen Tree Cove territory. Following the small inlet one finds themselves shaded by the canopy of pine trees on one side and the waters of the lake on the other. Continuing a few yards inland from this inlet is where the pack calls home to a rocky den created by avalanches that ripped down the mountainside during the brutal winter of 2013, nearly unnoticeable by the untrained eye. The den is protected on three sides by large boulders with fallen trees littering the sides of the boulders acting as a blind over the entrance, concealing the den from those who don’t know its exact location, making the cave fitting for the Lost Lake that seems to appear and disappear on its own. Venturing further north the terrain begins to change as soft soil and pine trees thin to give way to scarce vegetation and gravel as one grows closer to the base of the Mountain of Dire.
