Thank ya! So I think it will be dark brown and purple then? With the darker light purple being the like, coloured names colour? That way it can be seen on light and dark colours.
We still need to figure out a name and territories. =]

Ranks - I think Gamma and Delta should stay apart. In past experiances some juicy plots have risen from rivalries between the hunters and fighters. Name - Solum Valensi Lupi or Zenllther Cadre. Those are the most original to me. "Pack" is... used. Colour Scheme Dark Brown and Purple. No contest. Territories -Waterfall/cave dens. Love that idea. -Fighting Ground -Clifftop -River
I think it'd be cool for the idea of the founders. Can Pitch be watching? Like, she watches them found it, then walks up to them and states she wants to join.
If Pitch did join, she'd probably start out at somthing a little more high ranking, like Gamma, then she'd get all pissed about having to follow so many orders, she'd probably get demoted to Omega for "disobeying" and stuff, then she'd get mad, leave, and plot revenge.

The other names for the packs can be interchanged with Cadre. Easty likes Enthycia and I like Strysstdar, so either can be called a pack or cadre. I think I'll keep Gamma and Delta apart, unless there are any other opposing ideas. The dark brown and purple will be the pack colours for sure.
As for Pitch, sure, sounds like a good idea to me. We technically have two gammas, so she could be a delta? And it would be nice for Rhia to have another female in the pack, despite the fact that she'll probably irritate her. xD

Delta's good... though she's still gonna try to fight, as such is her Personality. She does what she wants, when she wants. You'll see it when she "Asks" to be in the pack after the founding. She'll just walk up to them, look down her nose at them, and demand acceptance. XD

Ahahaha, okay! Rhia will probably make her do a joining fight, is that okay? If you want we can let it slide since she'll be their first member.

xD Okay! So badass. Rhia will probably try to like... harness her and her power so she can use it to her advantage. Because she won't have any powers. Rhia should totally try to make an army of Lupus elementals... xD

I combined some of the ideas for territories... tell me what you think.
Staircase - twisty way to get down the canyon - leads to both the gem cave and waterfall spring Gem Cave - behind the waterfall - main dens, and slippery fighting ground, close to the top of the canyon Meeting Rocks - near the bottom of the canyon, close to the alphas den. one big outcrop/rock with a big ledge underneath - also has a big shelf where many plants are found Cavern Top - main fighting ground, on the top of the cliff. also has some bushes and grassland for hunting Waterfall Spring - alphas den, behind the waterfall closer to the bottom of the canyon. There's a large cavern spring inside of it. The water is cool, and calm and can be used to fish/swim.

Hmm. The staircase should be in another territory. It is a cool idea, yes, but it has limited plot use. Like, how can you have a thread on it? So i think the staircase should be in with the cavern top, or i think it should be called Canyon top. Like. Main fighting ground, accessible by a long twisting 'staircase' or it could be included in a different territory.
A territory idea could be like 'The Crevice'...an opening in the cliff face that reaches from the bottom to the top. The sun can not reach there, so it is in perpetual dusk. Its home to tons of griffins, and only idiots go there alone. One of the games are held there....OR OR. in the games there can be one event...in the crevice, where the pack splits into two teams. One headed by the alpha, and the other the Alphess, and they play capture the flag of sorts.
and this game occurs at the end, just to improve pack comradery, the winners get barging rights...or something....XD

... EPIC IDEA OF EPICNESS. We shall shove the staircase into the cavern top. I was thinking that when I made it too... I was like "wtf can wolves do on stairs" xD I love the griffin thing... omggg like I want to marry it and cuddle it forever. We should get a wolf with the invisibility power to hide like, a gem stone from one of the caves, and they can't participate...
OR. they could throw it from the top of the cavern, and then the two teams have to search for it?

[edit]WELCOME TO STYRRSTDAR CADRE, HOME TO THE INSANE BUT LOVEABLE...
Also the words used are Irish Gaelic... because I like Gaelic, and I like the Celtic Culture. I am Celtic. Uh, yeah. 'Quartz Hidden', 'Meeting Rocks', 'Fighting Cliff Top', 'Waterfall Spring' and 'Certain Death Crevice' is the translations... I can change them though if you don't like 'em Easty. ;] I also put up the two tables below this, with a blurb about the pack. Feel free to suggest/change anything... I dunno if I exactly like how it flows yet.
Quartz Falach - This cavern is protected by the waterfall, and is home for most of the pack members. There are many smaller alcoves in the cave which the members fashion into dens. The main part of the cavern is open and lit by a few small holes in the rock that act as skylights. This area is big enough to be a fighting ground and is used as such by the most daring pack members. It is extremely slippery, and many wolves have lost their footing and tumbled into the waterfall to their doom. It is close to the top of the canyon, and, with the help of an adult, pups can be carried to the top to play. It gets its names from the brilliant assortment of gems which line the walls, mostly quartz but some semi-precious stones as well. The light from the skylights glitters off them, and the further back into the cavern you go, the more brilliant the sights. The gems seem to give off their own glow, illuminating even the darkest of these caves. A very small cavern stream flows near the back of the caves, with fresh spring water, and flows through a small hole to form an in cavern waterfall.
Castàil Rocks - If the alphas believe it is necessary to hold a meeting or council, it is held here. There is a large rock outcropping for the alphas to sit, which overhangs onto a huge shelf. This ledge can hold the entire pack and more, and many bushes and shrubs grow here. There is one sole tree that grows right beside the alphas' rock, and occasionally can bear fruit. It is exhausting to carry youngsters down the cliffside this far, and as such, only adults are allowed to attend any meetings. The rocks are situated very close to the alphas dens. It is about 100 metres from the waterfall, and located near a more calm section of the river.
Troid Aill Top - The top of the canyon is the most expansive part of the terrain, and is covered with grasses and shrubs. There is a large circular space though where no plants grow, and only red, dusty rock can be seen. Small blood stains can be spotted in the rock, and the rocks are riddled with claw marks. This is the main fighting arena of the pack, and most, if not all, of the joining fights are held here. The spring tournament is held in this very spot. There is a narrow, but accessible winding 'staircase' down the side of the canyon, from the very top to the bottom. The ledges are about one and a half to two feet apart from each other, but the rocks are solid enough to support the weight of a wolf. They lead to both the Quartz Cave and the Waterfall Spring, and provide a safe method for wolves to travel up and down the canyon. The canyon top is also the safest place for pups to romp around and play, as there is little chance for them to fall down the cliffs. It is here that many of the prey lives, including the jackalopes and the quails.
Eas Spring - Directly behind the waterfall which cascades from almost the top of the canyon to the bottom is a huge cavern, in which some of the water from the waterfall pools. It creates a calm, cool spring where some fish reside. The water from the Quartz Caverns falls here, creating a lovely trickling sound as it empties into the spring. It is rather deep, and a lovely place to swim. The wolves know of no actual aquatic predators which reside in the water. To the left of the spring is a large den area, which the alphas have claimed as their own. It is lined with leaves and though it doesn't have the same brilliance of gems as the Quartz Cavern, does have some of the light emitting stones. The cave is lit by these gems and by the sunlight which flows easily in. It is closer to the bottom of the canyon, and the sounds of the raging river below are an ominous reminder of the dangers in the lands.
Cinnte Dàis Crevice - A mere opening in the cliff face, it reaches from the bottom to the top. Here the sun does not reach, so the crevice is left in perpetual dusk. Here is the home to many griffins, and it is certain death should one enter the area alone. The rocks near the entrance are scattered with bones, both of smaller animals and some that look suspiciously like wolves'. There is rumour that this crevice is home to a nasty spirited yellow dragon, but that has not been confirmed. Here though, the wolves of the pack play a suicidal game of capture the flag. The pack splits into two, and each hide an object. Each team searches for the other team's object, and the winning team gets bragging rights.

C A D R E | [cs=2][bg=4D2E19] Ryell Canyon | [cs=2][bg=D4BDD4]The Styrrstdar Cadre is home to all wolves who wish to live in a traditional pack setting. Respect is demanded by the alphas, and any ranked wolves, and submission is key. These wolves pride themselves on their dignity, regalia and physical strength. Each spring a tournament is held to ensure that the most capable wolves hold each rank. Challengers, and any wolves the alphas deem fit, go head to head in various events, including wolf on wolf physical combat, and hunting games. Each prospective member above the age of two is required to participate in a mandatory joining fight. Put against another newcomer, or a member of the pack, they are asked to duel. It is not a matter of winning or losing, but instead to see the physical strength of each recruit, and see their dedication to their position in the pack.

They are the main healers of the pack, and have to have an extensive knoweledge of herbs and remedies. The can accept new members. As well as knowing about healing, these wolves are the main source of spirituality in the pack. They are the storytellers and often spend much time with the pups, teaching them about The Great Spirit and telling them stories. | [bg=4D2E19] Subordinate | [bg=D4BDD4]When joining, a wolf is given the rank of subordinate. These are the main members of the pack, and can be promoted. They are the backbone of the pack. They are required to show submission to all ranks above them. | [bg=4D2E19] Adolescent | [bg=AD99AD]A subordinate rank, this is given to any wolf between one and two, as they are no longer considered a pup, and not yet an adult. | [bg=4D2E19] Pup | [bg=D4BDD4]Any children of the pack members are ranked as pups. They are cared for by their parents and the members of the pack. | [bg=4D2E19] Omega | [bg=AD99AD]The Omega wolf is either a wolf who has done a crime or committed a wrong and is on trial. They get picked on by the other members and are the last to feed after a hunt. It is a shameful rank, and they are frowned upon by the rest of the pack because of their crimes. |

When Kai gets Accepted she could do something in here? I'm used to RPing in this format, because Aelyn has Alpha beta, gamma, omega thing going on, though my wolf Cindershock (on there) is the alphess, so it might be fun for Kai to be something like Beta or something... Since of course Rhea and Forte are the alphen couple.
Ranks - The ranks are good for me, this format is great. I think that Gamma and Delta should be combined... Name - Enthycia Pack, Valensi Pack, Jauamorin Garthd'e Pack (made that one up) Colour Scheme Dark Brown x Purple, Purple x Purple. Territories I love the waterfall idea, and I think that the whole den areas should be back behind it. The one highest up being the alphen, the next the beta, and so on. Where there is a waterfall...There is almost always a river/lake, so you could have it a river, leading to a lake that's further away.
That's all I have for now, but I think I'll come up with more later...

Rank suggestion; "Sentry, or Scout."
What these wolves would be in charge of is patrolling/guarding the pack terrain, intercepting newcomers/ trespassers and dealing with and or reporting to the Alpha's.
