Vetur Pack

"You dare say Vetur Pack are traitors to the Way of the Wolves? We are most certainly not! We are a strong, loyal pack that will only fight when need be. We wouldn't dare try to take your territory from you! It is your home. You need it to live and strive, just as we do."

- Breezefrost

Territory
The Vetur Pack’s territory is located in the north section of the Crystal Forest. There, the land is littered with large amounts of snow and is colder than the rest of the forest.

Camp
Surrounded by tall walls of enchanted snow, the Vetur Pack camp is in the middle of their territory. The entrance to the pack is two large gates made from ice. They only open up to a member of Vetur Pack. The camp is a fairly large snowy clearing spotted with ice caves arranged in half a moon. The can be easily spotted due to the fact it is the largest. The is to the right Alphas’ and the is on the left. The Elders’ Cave is right next to the nursery and the healers’ cave is beside it. Regular pack members accompany the other caves. Vetur Pack collects arctic moss and caribou moss and use it to soften the cave floors. A large rock named after the first alpha sits in the middle of the camp. This is where the alpha female or male stands to give important speeches or messages to the pack.

Snow Pine Rocks
These rocks are a meeting place for visiting packs. It sits on the outskirts of the Vetur Pack territory and is the only spot in the Crystal Forest surrounded by pine trees.

Wishful lake
Wishful lake is s a lake that has been frozen over, due to the cold weather. Vetur Pack wolves are often seen skating on it, seeing as it is very sturdy.

Snowbank’s Rock
The rock where the alpha(s) deliver messages to the pack.

Diet
Arctic prey

Rules
If a wolf kills another member of the pack, they are to be banished.

Pups and elders must be treated with the utmost respect. Failure to do so results in imprisonment and/or banishment.

Crossing territories is strictly prohibited unless you are accompanied with an alpha.

Food is not to be eaten while out on a hunting patrol.

Pups, gifters, and elders are to eat before everyone else.

Change of Alpha(s)
Instead of fighting for leadership like other packs, the eldest daughter or son of the current alphas becomes the next alpha once both the current ones dies or retires. If the pup has yet to become an adult, the alpha’s oldest sister or brother takes over until the pup is of age.

Beta
When a new alpha takes over the pack, they have an option to pick a different beta or keep the current one. Same with when a beta dies.

Bears

History
Snowbank named the pack after his mate Vetur, who had died fighting Shadowstream, the current alpha male of the shadow wolves back then.

During Adalwolfa and Gunnolf’s reign, the pack went to war with a rival pack that wanted to take over their territory. Vetur Pack won out in the end and, forcing the rival pack to leave the Crystal Forest.

Snowstar, a second in command, went rouge and tried to kill off Sapphirestar, daughter of Snowbank and Vetur and the current alpha of Vetur Pack, so that could rule. North, one of Sapphirestar’s closest friends, was able to kill her before she could do so.

Eras
Eras in the Vetur Pack are a span of 120 years. They help the wolves keep track of special moments and their past alphas in history. The Era of Falling Snow is the current timeline and the Era of Frosty Mist is the first ever era.
