The Packs -
Sunrise Pack- Current alpha is female; The pack lives on some hilly plains in the shadow of a mountain and the only direct sunlight the camp gets is during the morning to the afternoon(sun rise to about 2). There is a shallow lake below the camp. The dens are caves in large boulders or carved into the sides of the mountain facing the east. The highest dens on the mountainside are occupied by the higher ranked wolves and their mates. The ones closest to the lake (slightly damper and colder) and in the lowest rockfaces are occupied by the lower ranked wolves. (see rank challenges and Sunrise mate challenge)

Duskfall Pack- Current alpha is female; The pack lives in eye shot of the western side of the mountain. The westernmost point of the territory is dense forest and the easternmost point is flat plains. In the middle of the territory is wooded shrubland. The camp is located in the westernmost area of the shrublands, the dens are made in the bushes and dug under the roots of large trees. (see rank challenges and Duskfall mate challenge)

Ranks

Pack Ranks
* Alpha (1) male OR female, the leader; has the last say in every decision
* Beta (1) male OR female; second in command; advisor of alpha and the one who is in charge of domestic decisions/debates within the pack
^DON'T HAVE TO BE MATES. But must HAVE/CHOOSE mates in the pack...which unless special circumstance by vote of pack or victory in battle - ranked at least Royal Guards.
---*Epsilon - Alpha's mate...Upsilon - Beta's mate
* Deltas (2) young wolves next in line for alpha/beta; chosen as pups/young adols to lead after alpha/beta steps down - they have NO TRUE PACK STATUS [i.e. - not above or below the Zeta]; are still higher-classed wolves since they are most likely former sigmas/apprentices. Deltas continue their training outside of the pack until 16 months old (leave for an entire season and a half or so to train and learn how to lead the packs. They will have a month to touch up on their normal techniques, then spend a month with a noble - learning diplomacy, the beta - learning how to lead, then a month is spent in the other packs--meeting the other alphas, spending a few days getting to know them, etc. Most deltas get home half a month or so early because the other packs don't want their secrets and such being GIVEN to the next alpha/beta's of a rival pack.
* Zeta (1) Commander of the warriors; third in command; war general; fighting and battle strategy is his/her specialty
* Kappa (1) lead hunter; male or female; hunting and formation strategy is his/her specialty
