During his one of his many visits to Turtleback Lake Lachesis (joined by Lavender, Oksana and Reid) stumbled upon a refuge tucked away between the mountain and the lake. Unable to erase the place from his mind he sought out his mate, confiding in her with plans he’d already spoken aloud before. A fresh start was what he’d been seeking for months—an escape from the tragedies that seemed to plague the river wolves. It had taken the discovery of Driftwood to reassure Lachesis that he was not running away from his problems. He simply wanted to better the pack and strengthen the fraying relationships within.

Pack colours for Driftwood are Chartreuse Cedar (#b6d074) and River Slate (#52848f).

The Wolves of Driftwood Surge.

• Current Leaders: Lachesis "XIX" Stark & Lilya Valrorys
• Established: February 2nd, 2018.
• Location: Turtleback Lake, Snowmarch Expanse, Relic Lore.
• Navigation: North-eastern Relic Lore, west of Turtleback Lake, nestled between the mountain and the lake.
• Den Description: Boulders line the western shores of the surging river due, remnants of the mountain. Foliage still thrives atop the stone; carved into the rock is a large, abandoned bear den shrouded by evergreen trees. A few metres away is a second den, carved into the base of a towering cedar tree. The dens are high enough away from the river that if a flood was to occur they would remain untouched. Beneath the rocky ledge the river rages on, accessible by a rocky path that leads to a pebbled beach.
• Pack Scent Identifiers: White Cedar, White Fir, Hellebore, loamy, earthy, and moist soil. Damp.

• Pack Colors: #b6d074 & #52848f.
• Character Alignments: Mostly Neutral, Some Lawful.

• Motto: "Stick with those who stick with you."

Notes & Trivia.

• The borders are well guarded and heavily marked; it is not easy to miss them.
• The pack scent is quite an earthy one, mixed with damp soil and mountainous air.
• Second chances are not given often; once a wolf has left the pack they are gone.
• Family-orientated pack – loyalty is huge for the Driftwood wolves.
• The pack is led by Lachesis "XIX" Stark and Lilya Valrorys, former leaders of Hearthwood River.
• This is the third time Lachesis had moved with the 'same' pack.
• Lachesis "XIX" Stark has a good relationship with the leaders of Shallows Edge, making them Driftwood's closest ally.

Pack Policies

Number of Leaders (+ Gender)

• 1 or 2 Leaders — can be 2 of opposite or same gender

• Leaders will be same gender if necessary, or if a second leader (of the same gender) is elected by the rest of the pack — the second same gender leader will hold the II. rank

• To ensure there are no holes in hierarchy, a wolf of the opposite sex will old the I. position but will not be titled as "Leader"

• One leader will be permitted if the second leader falls behind an activity check: if a member wants to pursue the role of leader at the II. rank, they will have to first challenge for the I. rank and then ask (or be voted) to obtain the role of leader

• A wolf holding the I. rank (and with/without the role of leader) can be challenged by a II. ranked wolf (of the same gender) at any time

• If the pack only has one wolf ranked as I. they can be challenged by either gender, at any time

Inactivity Rules (+ Promotions for Leaders)

• If a wolf with the role of leader falls behind on an activity check they will still hold the rank of I. (unless challenged by the II.), but will either have to ask for their role back or be voted back into the position by the rest of the pack (2 weeks after missing the activity check)

• This vote can take place in character during a pack meeting, or via the pack thread, or can be done out of character if the pack agrees (a discussion will take place in the pack common room)

• If they fall behind a second activity check they will have to wait an additional 2 weeks (4 weeks total) to ask for their role as leader back, or to be voted back in by the pack

• Required post amount for a leader is 3 per activity check (no exceptions, this is a sitewide rule)

• If a wolf is acting as a replacement leader and they want to keep the position (both the rank and title) they will have to challenge the previous leader to keep their spot (as well as meet the leader 3 post requirement)
