You stumble through the rainforest, astounded by the beauty of the place. Monkeys chitter in the treetops, like they're whispering about you as you walk below them. Colourful birds call to each other amid the canopies, discussing the day. Occasionally a tree frog will croak, catching you off guard the first few times you hear it. Ahead the sight of bright sunlight attracts you, and you pick up the pace and trot forwards. Soft white sand cushions your weary feet as you step onto the beach, eyes wide as you take in the massive stretch of sand and the deep blue waters beyond. Cautiously you step forwards, towards the ocean itself. From the water slinks a curvy form, long legs glinting in the sun. Wait, what? You look again, and realize her legs are cloaked in glittering scales that shine in rainbows when the light strikes their silvery surface. A soft smile curves her ebony lips as she pads towards you, the gills on each side of her neck shutting as she begins to breathe through her dark nose.
"Hello there, stranger. I am Fate, the guardian of these lands and Alphess of Aquam." She greets you with a dip of her delicate ivory cranium. You stand there, trying to figure out how to reply, but she simply chuckles, a sound like a thousand tiny bells.
"Would you like a tour of the territory?" She asks, smiling shyly as she gives a wag of her tail. You notice a translucent blue fin, like one you would find on a fish, tipping her longer than normal tail. Slowly you give a nod, curious but wary. For some reason, the story of sirens comes into your head, the creatures that dragged their prey into the sea with beautiful songs. Her grin broadens, and she beckons with a paw for you to follow her into the ocean. Hesitant, you place a paw into the warm aqua, looking up to see her already up to her elbows. Not wanting to insult the femme, you hurry to catch up. Soon the two of you are paddling through the water, the woman swishing her long tail back and forth to propel herself easily through the tropical water.
"Many of the pack live here, though farther down the beach we were just on is a small archipelago where I have set up a small camp." She explains, nodding with her head towards the distant, hazy illusion of land in the distance. You look down at the ocean below you, noticing the water is not all that deep. Soon the two of you are wading up the beach and she is fixing you with a mismatched gaze.
"So, now that you've seen the lands, I will give you time to look around and decide where you would like to stay. If you do not wish to return, I will not be offended. Good day, stranger." The woman murmurs, smiling as she slinks back into the water. Soon, you lose sight of her as she dives below the surface.
Welcome to Aquam, a pack led by a water elemental she wolf. Here you will find all the necessary information to make your decision about joining!
The pack's alignment is leaning more towards the lighter or chaotic alignments, so darker aligned wolves aren't likely to enjoy it there.
It is not a pack of warriors, nor is it one of healers or scholars. Aquam is a pack full of variety, accepting those from all walks of life. It's members are expected to accomplish the duties given to them, but they can wander about within reason.

Tier One.
These are the rulers of the pack, the ones who make the big decisions and keep everything running smoothly. One cannot be accepted into these ranks, you have to fight for them.
Alphess: Fate
Alpha:
Heir:
Tier Two.
The ranks that aid the Tier One's in running the pack, advisors and seconds in command to the Alphess and her mate. They can accept members and organize hunts and patrols, but cannot make major decisions without consulting someone from Tier One.

Duke: Open

Tier Four.
The commoners of the pack, they hold no power in the pack, but may speak with higher ups to offer opinions, which may be used to help the pack improve.
