Seasons
[SIZE=18.666666666666664px]Freezing Ground[/SIZE]
.Winter.
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]It snows around this time; The trees are barren, save for the evergreens, and there are scarcely any prey. It’s a rough time for any pack, unless one derived from the Northern Winds.[/SIZE]
.Events.
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Spirit Lights’ Eve[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]The Aurora Borealis, though to wolves—It’s a night in which the ancestors survey the lands they once roamed. The day prior to Spirit Lights’ Eve is usually a day spent with each wolf treating each other kindly and occasionally exchanging gifts. This is to keep the spirits content with the current generation, to maintain good fortune. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=18.666666666666664px]Blooming Flower[/SIZE]
.Spring.
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]When the snow melts, allowing all life to return… and allergies to arise. Flowers are in bloom and there’s plenty of butterflies to chase. Prey returns, and often bring offspring with them.[/SIZE]
.Events.
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]The Butterfly Pack[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]A butterfly migration, where thousands of butterflies fly through the forest. It’s a beautiful sight that even the hardest of hearts enjoy.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]White Stone Day[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]White Stone Day is more of a pup’s holiday than an adult’s, though occasionally the adults more in-tune with their puphood self join in. Pack members in the leading roles wake up early to hide white stones gathered up the previous night, and have pups try to track as many as they can. It’s an activity that usually allows pups to hone in their tracking abilities, though they’re more in it for the prize received if they gather the most stones.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]All Lovers’ Eve[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]The most romantic day to some, and the most oppressing for others. All Lovers’ Eve is the night in which wolves confess to their significant others and ask to become mates. At night, couples made on that day gather atop their Sacred Stone to howl in unison—Expressing their love for each other to the Ancestors. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Mother’s Day[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]The day of appreciation for all wolf mothers, pups usually give all attention to mothers or motherly figures—giving gifts and treating them specially. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=18.666666666666664px]Clear Sky[/SIZE]
.Summer.
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]It’s hotter around this time, so often times wolves will take a swim in the rivers or relax in their dens or beneath a shady tree. Wildfires may start around this time, and bears are a bit more active than usual, so Alphas are usually on high alert.[/SIZE]
.Events.
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Father’s Day[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Also a day of appreciation, though this time for wolf fathers. Much like Mother’s Day, fathers are given gifts and treated specially on this day.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Day of the Fallen [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]The day where wolves pay their respects to their lost Selsas, and thank the current Selsas for what they’ve done for the pack. It’s a solemn day, and not one to be joked around with.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Long Day[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]The longest day of Clear Sky, and it is usually the best day to get more work done. It is said that the Ancestors give us such a long day to allow us more time to do what we need—Pups especially love this day, as it means resting time is later than usual. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=18.666666666666664px]Falling Leaf[/SIZE]
.Autumn.
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]The leaves change color and fall, and this is a time when wolves must prioritize stocking up on necessities before Freezing Ground. Bears will be far more active as they prepare for hibernation, and Deltas focus more on their job as they catch as much prey as they can before Freezing Ground.[/SIZE]
.Events.
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Eve of Thanks[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]The night wolves join at the Sacred Stone and have a feast in thanks of the Ancestors. It is also a good day to eat as much as one can to pack up for Freezing Ground.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Hollow Tree Greeting[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]An event held exclusively by the Borealis—There is a specific tree that always bears the most haunting look late at night on this specific eve. It is believed that this tree was given to them by the Ancestors to ward off evil spirits or intruders, and on this specific night, the pack greets this tree and they gather ‘round to share haunting stories and treat themselves to bones. [/SIZE]
Moon Phases
[SIZE=18.666666666666664px]Moon Phases, to wolves, are months. Except here, months are broken down by each phase, and each Moon Phase determines the months.[/SIZE]
.Dark Moon.
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Nights are dark, meaning pups will have to stay in the dens earlier. Alphas keep watch over the pack longer than usual.[/SIZE]
.First Crescent.
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Alphas pay their respects to the Ancestors for bringing moonlight back, though pups must still retire a bit earlier.[/SIZE]
.First Half.
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Pups are allowed to stay out a bit longer. It is the night that any pair of wolves that wish to be mates are established among the pack by the Alpha. (A group wedding ceremony, if one may put it.)[/SIZE]
.Near Full.
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]The best night for training, as it is believed to bring good luck.[/SIZE]
.Full Moon.
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]The night new ranks are established among the pack; It is a sacred ceremony that is not to be joked of.[/SIZE]
.Near Dark.
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Though not fully dark, it is a night to hope to the Ancestors for good luck for the next few Phases.[/SIZE]
.Last Half.
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Alphas, Betas, and Selsas patrol these nights more carefully for threats.[/SIZE]
.Final Crescent.
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Pups retire early again, especially since Dark Moon comes after this.[/SIZE]
