Quaking Vale
About Quaking Vale
Although Sahalie had intended from a very young age to lead Oak Tree Bend when she grew up, life didn't turn out as planned for the girl. She wanted to, "be the sun," for those around her, that depended on her. Just after Drestig and Jessie decided to leave Oak Tree Bend and her pack was shaken to its core, she explained her ambitions to her closest friend Kino, who promised to help her realize the dream. Later, the girl offered him a position as an advisor.
Her plans for herself were put on hold, however, when Aponi challenged Spieden for leadership and won, leaving Spieden a wreck. Spieden had raised Sahalie nearly from birth after her mother Nayeli left, and so Sahalie selflessly chose to leave her childhood home when Spieden ran from the pack in order to protect her, along with Kino and Larkspur. She spent some time in Whitestone Monadnock before finally one day Kino proposed the idea of founding their own pack. After talking it over with Larkspur they decided they would head south, and before they set off they recruited Castel. It was a long journey back to the southern valley Sahalie and Kino grew up in, but eventually the small collection of wolves—which now included Kino's estranged brother Draven—settled down in a place she and Kino had discovered months earlier: Quaking Vale.
Pack pride colors for Quaking Vale are "Sunset Marigold (#ea8c00)" and "Scarlet Memento (#733140 )".
General Information
- Current Leader: Niles Archer Lyall & Castel Lyall-Noor
- Established: March 31st, 2017
- Location: Quaking Vale, Umbra Copse, Vale of Secrets, Relic Lore
- Navigation: Nestled in the north of the fork in Clandestine Brook.
- Den Description: Though the darkness of Umbra Copse is seemingly archaic, tucked away in its southern reaches it is possible to discover an astonishing change in the density and gloom of the woods. Several hundred years ago a single Populus tremuloides seed took root and the crisp white-barked, shivering tree began to flourish and multiply its root structure into the impressive colony of quaking aspen that it is today. Each tree in the forest is a clone, connected to all the other trees as one single organism—though one wouldn't notice this from the surface. In late autumn this forest turns a brilliant yellow before the wind picks all the leaves clean, leaving a sparkling boneyard of white trees in the snow. The trees grow relatively farther apart from each other than average for Umbra Copse, leaving the place bright and airy such that it is a haven for small critters and herds of deer. Quaking Vale is a welcome respite from the more usual darkness of the Vale—one of its best kept secrets, perhaps.

Notes & Trivia.
- To date, Sahalie and Kino are the youngest leaders ever in Relic Lore, and it's pretty obvious from the way they lead.
- Quaking Vale is a little different from a traditional pack in the sense that it far less demanding of its members and the prime focus of one of its founders (Sahalie) is to provide a place for others to heal.
- The leaders might be young and give an air of naivety, but they definitely do have limits if you choose to press your luck.
