Pack History
Jaded Shadows was originally founded by Mordulin Aika on March 20, 2002. It remained for years as one of the most unchanging packs, taking up residence on Ashen Mountain for seven years, most of these years with the same Alpha. Jaded Shadows was the continuation of Mordulin's mother's pack, Shadowed Stars. Omoi wished to change the name and location of the pack from Shadowed Stars to Jaded Shadows, and move the pack to Ashen Mountain. Shortly after, Omoi died due to cancer and Mordulin carried out her mother's wishes and became Alpha. Table of Contents (hide)
1. History1.1 Early History (Omoi - Mordulin Aika)Jaded Shadows began with Shadowed Stars. After Shadowed Stars lost its Alpha, Omoi was given Alphas ship over the pack. She realized that the pack lands could no longer support them and moved the pack to Ashen Mountain. She renamed the pack as Jaded Shadows and left it to her daughter Mordulin. 1.2 Middle History (Mordulin Aika)Mordulin took in Salvaged Eternity as her adoptive son. He worked his way up the ranks to Gamma, and eventually to Beta. 1.3 Late Middle History (Mordulin Aika - Spade)Fatin Kali was promoted to Beta alongside Salvaged Eternity. Spade became the temporary Alpha of Jaded Shadows while Mordulin stayed in Concrete Jungle due to a broken leg. Salvaged Eternity attacked Spade, driving him out of the pack. Tayui Aston was promoted to Gamma. Some time later, Fatin Kali disappeared to find her family and Tayui was promoted to Beta. Fatin returned a month later and worked her way back up the ranks to once again become a Beta alongside Tayui. 1.4 Late History (Mordulin Aika - Fatin Kali & Tayui Aston) Banner by Vannah On September 12, 2007, the pack found itself two new Alpha's. Mordulin, like her mother, found that she had cancer, and decided to leave the pack to Fatin Kali and Tayui Aston. After nearly six years of unchanging rule, Jaded Shadows had two new Alpha's.[1] Each assumed the title of Alpha Female and ruled alongside until April 1, 2008. 2. Territory2.1 Ashen MountainAnother low-lying mountain of the area, Ashen Mountain is unique and set apart from the other mountains by its sheer size. It occupies the greatest area of all the mountains, despite it only being the third tallest of all the named peaks of Bleeding Souls. The mountain slowly rises from the ground in a soft, easy slope, different from the other three of the range. Easy to traverse, it is often the most visited of all the peaks. It is now claimed by the jaded shadows pack, who once called themselves the shadowed stars. 2.2 The Communal Pack Den Pack den image by Tammi The Central Cavern and Store Room were once used by Mordulin as a den and birthing site. She never took the time to explore properly, and the clearing away of brush and fallen logs in the back of her den cleared a path into the pack den. Central CavernThis is the largest serviceable room in the whole system, and is therefore devoted to the use of the entire pack. The cavern is large enough to host the entire pack when at its prime size, and has a height of roughly three full grown werewolves (that is 20-25 feet). Stalactites and stalagmites rim the cavern, but the central floor is covered with thick, soft sand. Because of its proximity to the mountain’s surface (one might contend that there are actually small cracks on the ceiling) this cavern ideal for a large fire used for cooking and heat. To the left, just in front of one of the Alpha's dens, is the quartz rock. Although the entire den is rock, there is a pillar-like rock comprised mostly of varying hues of quartz. Store RoomA tiny room off of the main cavern with room for only one wolf at a time inside. There are a few crude shelves made with leftover timber, as well as a bear fur acting as a door. On either side of the Store Room’s entrance are places for firewood. Alpha’s QuartersA two-lobed room traditionally to be claimed by the alpha for its proximity to the main hub of pack life. While one half of the cave structure is to remain private, the other portion is more neutral grounds. Here, pack members can visit their alpha without barging down the door to her personal life. There are two dens for the Alpha's, with one set farther back, and slightly larger than the first. Family QuartersThese larger caves are designed for mated couples and their dependant children. Selection is on a seniority first-come first-served basis. Individual decoration and modeling of the caves is up to their inhabitants. LibraryA cylindrical shaped room, the library is one of the most unique in the entire system. Hot bubbles of magma centuries ago have created a wall littered with half-sphere shaped indents. The cave actually sits above the trails below, and is accessible through a short, but steep and winding path that opens up like a trap door in the library’s middle. Because of this positioning, the library is notoriously dry and suitable for housing precious paper treasures. Height is the space’s last outstanding properties, and the highest shelves require the use of a ladder to reach. CommonsIn years of extreme bounty, these crystallized caves can be converted to extra housing. For the most part, however, these colorful spaces are used as common grounds and a retreat from the bustle of the main cavern. It is not uncommon to find children playing or careful worktables, depending on the ceiling. Single’s QuartersA many-lobed cave system, there is ample room for individual pack members to carve out a niche for themselves. Especially those clever with their hands, doors of wood or cloth are readily fashionable. Again, the exact modeling of these rooms us up to those who inhabit them. Lower CavernsNature’s built-in water system, the lower caverns house an extensive underground network of lakes and streams. Because of the danger factor, these caverns are widely unexplored. For the purposes of Jaded Shadows however, the access to the icy water means a never-ending supply of fresh water for drinking, cooking, or bathing. 2.3 The Gathering Place Gathering place image by Tammi The Gathering Place is the favoured place to hold pack meetings and gather members together for hunts. It is a few minutes' walk South from the pack den, and features a fireplace, shelter for wood, a weaping willow named Bonnie, and planted flowers and hedges that surround the clearing. 2.4 The Stargazing StoneSet atop a steep incline, the Stargazing Stone is almost level with the treeline. It is located at the North Western part of the territory, and is of close proximity to the edge of the mountain. 3. Perceived Culture
