Sapient is a pack located in the Frost Reaches section of 'Souls and lays claim to territory within Bathurst, Gaspesia, Sugarloaf Resort, and North Shore. The pack's main area of residence is within the Government Estate, a large but old mansion with access to St. John's river close by. Sapient is an all-species pack, meaning any canine is free to join the ranks provided they are Lupceri -- non-Luperci are shunned from Sapient's ranks but will be accepted in the event that they allow themselves to be turned into a Luperci.
It is an pro-humanization and pro-cultural advancement pack. A Sapien’s life revolves around power, wealth, and knowledge; the three cornerstones on which Sapient culture is built. An individual’s wealth is a key element of their standing, judged both by personal wealth and what the individual can contribute towards the pack as a whole. Sapiens are encouraged to educate themselves beyond the level of other packs, with the pursuit of specialized research and skills highly encouraged in the pack’s upper echelons.
Ranks are based on a four-tiered system focusing on character skills and personalities, with the main focus on the share of knowledge and attainment of wealth. A willingness to pursue Métiers and participate in Envoys opportunities, as well as increase knowledge in a specified Area of Study, creation and trade of goods, and the preservation and sharing of skills amongst pack members is important to Sapient. Respect is expected to be shown to those of a higher rank and experience, and those who hold higher ranks may choose to assert dominance over others if they choose, but dominance and submission are not an integral aspect of Sapient life.

1. History
Please view Overview | Timeline for Sapient's detailed history.
What was once a passing concept -- just an idea loosely discussed -- quickly grew into something larger. Loners gathered, drawn together by their mutual interest in trade and the more humanized way of living. They sought to further expand their wealth, power, skills, and knowledge, and they eventually banded together and decided to form a pack, originally consisting of a male-dominated membership. During their first year of existence Sapiens strove to improve the lands that they now called their own; repairing buildings, alongside constructing new ones, deterred only by poor weather and the floods that struck the area. Despite this, members quickly settled into the Government Estate, which became the central hub of activity, along with the main place of residency for membership.
The pack remained established for nearly four years before increasing turbulent times and deceit by the pack's own leader finally lead to its disbandment on July 16th, 2018. A note found on the strangled body of Leonardo Auditore pointed to Sagax Nivosus Moineau as the murder, and planted the seed of doubt in his own members in whether his actions were truly for their benefit or his own selfish ones. Conspiracies on the true cause of the Dark Horse Conflict and true killer behind the mysterious deaths of Itō Miwa and Marne Sadira during the months that the pack and its ally, Krokar, were harassed by a drug cartel group were dredged up. Piled on were Nivosus' continued alcoholism and absenteeism during times when the pack needed a leader most, as well as his over all way of leading. In the end, the pack came to the conclusion to confront Nivosus about his wrongdoings, only to find that their Sagax had abandoned them before he would be made to defend himself.
Without a leader (and their respect for the one they had now shaken or spoiled), and with none of the Consili willing to step up to lead the pack, Sapient was unofficially disbanded by its own members. In the weeks following, packmates gathered their things, said their goodbyes, and began their search for a new home. Some ventured south to the pack's Portland location, The University of New England, bringing the news of the main pack's disbandment to them by July 23rd, 2018.

The foundations of a trade network were previously being built with Salsola. However, it had been many years of no contact with one another, their relationship had grown stale due to lack of interaction.. Trade was actively being encouraged between Salsola and Sapient, along with other such positive engagement, but nothing became of it before Sapient disbanded. Relevant Notes
|
Despite a rocky start to their relations, Inferni and Sapient share many bloodlines and, as of January 2018, had been encouraging members to spend more time with each other, in any capacity, to see where things currently stand between the two packs. Sapient's disbandment and Inferni's to follow thereafter meant that no amiable relationship could be established between the two. Relevant Notes
|
Krokar had been involved with Sapient since it was first established. Through various trials, trades, and events, the two packs were solid allies. All KR/SP trades and general relationships should be common knowledge amongst both packs' members, and newer members can assume to have been informed of their western neighbors. Diplomatic relations with KR should build off what was already known. Relevant Notes
|
Although the packs have had several positive interactions, Sapient had no official relationship to Cour des Miracles. Trade was actively encouraged with CdM to renew a relationship with them. Relevant Notes
|
Sapient had no official relationship to Mistfell Vale, and knew little to nothing about the newly founded pack before Sapient was disbanded. Relevant Notes |
Because of Lola's part in Desiderio's death, older Sapiens were generally less welcoming to those from Casa di Cavalieri. Younger generations or newer members typically treated the pack neutrally. Sapient members would have been aware of Lola's involvement, and would be warned to treat CdC with caution. Relevant Notes
