Oak Tree Bend
About Oak Tree Bend.
Oak Tree Bend is the continuation of the Swift River pack. The pack suffered several blows in the fall and winter of 2012, including the loss of one of their leaders, Indru Tainn, and the loss of two pups, Rissa Tainn and Torrel Tainn. Believing that the pack would not survive if they did not relocate themselves, Corinna Donata and her new co-leader, Ice Aesir, discussed moving the pack to get away from all the memories.
After defeating the Aniwaya pack, Ice and Corinna met up once again to continue their discussion about the pack's future. They made the decision to breed as a way to rally the pack's spirits, as well as finalizing the decision to move. Needing to move before Corinna's mobility was inhibited by her pregnancy, the two leaders called the pack to announce their decision.
However, before they took their leave of the Sacred Grove, they were to suffer yet another loss — Aiyana Lyall, the only remaining pup of her litter, willingly left to live with Borden Lyall outside of Relic Lore. With their two yearlings Kisla Baranski and Fenru Donata, the loyal Swiftpaw sisters Cali and Jessie, as well as the new girl Tali Callow, Swift River said goodbye to their past and the trees which sheltered them for so long, and made their way east across the mountain.
Now having resettled on the other side of Serpent's Pass in Spectral Woods, the Oak Tree Bend pack is starting over, with a new identity, a new home, and new life on the way.
Pack pride colors for Oak Tree Bend are "Donata Green (#427c12)" and "Old Oak Brown (#3d221d)."

Notes & Trivia.
- The wolves of Oak Tree Bend have suffered several losses, betrayals, and instances of abandonment. Once a close knit family, the pack struggles beneath the weight of the past but is driven to work together when it counts.
- After the rank challenge of Aponi and Spieden a year ago the pack has a much different feel. It's numbers are smaller and mostly family based, and long gone is the relaxed feel that was once the norm. While Aponi and Serach allow their subordinates the freedom they desire they're expected to pull their weight and contribute to the pack as a whole. Hardworking wolves will fit in well here.
- Those who have been around long enough might still refer to them as the Swift River pack.
