Inventory
Trade
After Aldora's journey across Nova Scotia, she amassed a good cache of items from the other packs. Below are some of what are still in her possession and available for trade.
Aldora was the second born of Veyra and Callum's second litter; she is their first and only daughter. Aldora and her brother Rohan were well cared for and loved by both parents until they were able to fend for themselves.
In her first winter, Aldora's life became more complicated. She was matched with her mentor, Lyris Stryder, and soon after saved her cousin Myra Garcia's life after she nearly drowned while they played. Aldora only managed to do this by her body shifting to compensate, and the two of them became much closer for it. Aldora also bonded closely with her other cousin Arlen Stryder, while holding somewhat of a rivalry with her final cousin, Remus Knight.
After besting Remus in their first blood, Aldora, riding the high of the victory and feeling invincible, challenged her siblings and cousins to take down an enormous bear that had been plaguing and raiding the food stocks of Casa. Her brethren readily agreed, but it was doomed from the start. The youngsters were not fully prepared to take on the behemoth, and many of them received injuries, despite their success in killing it. They were punished by their leadership, forced to stay behind the Fort doors for a month.
Aldora was ashamed and felt like she had betrayed not only her family, but the entirety of Casa di Cavalieri. Once the punishment was lifted, she decides to leave the pack for a time to learn more about the outside world and other packs and possibly bolster relations with them. She hopes this journey will give her perspective and wisdom, so that when she returns she will no longer have the pride and foolishness of youth. During the the time of her travels, she learns that Anathema and Inferni were not as hostile as she had been told, but that Salsola was still a problem to be dealt with. She also rescues Kjintora and Ovidiu from Prince Edward Island, both of which had been stranded there since Midnight Shores disbandment.
With winter dying, she returns to Casa di Cavalieri only to learn that while she was gone her mentor Lyris Stryder died from complications of childbirth, and that Raine Nightshade had violated Arlen Stryder and Night Hushhowl. Aldora feels shame for having not been present during this time, and feels as if her journey had done little to prove her worth. She remains secluded for a time, listless and unsure of herself. Then, in the spring, tragedy strikes again when the land is infested by strange giant flowers, the essence of which drives wolves to madness. Her mother Veyra succumbs to this madness, and throws herself from a cliff-face. Aldora is thrown into depression and numbness.
After some time, Aldora begins to find hope again, and begins to focus on the pack and bettering it and herself. She starts to rise in the ranks, and then, falls in love for the first time with Howland Reeves after he pursues her for some time. All is well, and Aldora joins the Brotherhood as Master Tactician. After a time, she ends her relationship with Howland after some difficulties. Her new roll among Casa's elite gives her focus, and she begins to take charge in mentoring new and current pack members alike, so help them become the best version of themselves.
After helping to defend Luca from the attack of trespassing loners, he promotes her to Council as Pack Advisor. She charges head-first into her roll, maturing seemingly overnight, and becoming a gentle and caring figure of authority for the rest of the pack. She begins a new romance with Minerva Griffith and is for the first time in her life confident in herself and her abilities. At the same time, she finds herself becoming more forgiving of the evils in the world; she is much more willing to dismiss the crimes of others, a shift in perspective from her once Neutral Good nature.
Aldora saves her cousin Myra Garcia from drowning, and shifts to do so.
Aldora is matched up with Lyris Stryder as her mentor and begins archery training.
Aldora takes her siblings and cousins on a doomed bear hunt and many get injured.
Aldora goes on a Nova Scotia wide journey in an effort to visit all the packs.
Summary: After being able to shift, Aldora becomes very proud and bold, taking on Lyris' teachings with ease. Her pride and confidence gets the better of her though when she along with her brother and cousins try to take down a monstrous bear plaguing the pack. Many of them are injured, and Aldora feels it was all her fault. To make up for her transgressions, and to prove herself, she leave Casa di Cavalieri on a three month journey across Nova Scotia. Along the way she learns about the other packs, that many of things she has been told were not true, and begins to mature into a worldly young woman.
SUMMARY: Aldora returns to her homeland to find Lyris Stryder dead and cousins raped. She had hoped her time outside Casa would have given her strength, but as she comes into adulthood Aldora finds it difficult to make a place for herself in Casa. Tragedy strikes again when alien flowers grow, causing madness, which her mother succumbs to, killing herself. After the loss of her mother, Aldora continues to struggle, but makes headway when she strikes up a relationship with Howland Reeves. With new hope in love, Aldora rises through the ranks and joins the Brotherhood as Master Tactician.
