Imperium Pack

Until now, The Order has remained hidden from Anikira. It began centuries ago as a simple, secret cult; its identity concealed within a labyrinth as dark and convoluted as the lore surrounding the origin of Anikira itself. Known initially as ‘The Order’ to its innermost members, this sacred society hidden far below the surface of Xisyn was created for the sole purpose of preserving and protecting all sources of knowledge discoverable on the lands’ humble shores, and to this day, after the passing of countless generations, that purpose has not wavered. Wisdom is their sole power, and due to its inherent exploitability, it must be protected at all costs. Their creed: “Life or death, wisdom alone outlives the ages, or perishes in the claws of those unworthy.”

Until now, The Order has remained hidden from Anikira, its members thriving in the largest underground network ever found on the continent, emerging on the surface only at unseen outlets in the Occassus and Acerbus – simply to watch and listen to the rise and fall of packs, the inevitable birth and death of alphas and their finite lineages. Any soul misfortunate enough to discover them are dealt with promptly, and do not live long to tell the tale; nothing can compromise the wealth of knowledge that they serve to protect. Every member is highly skilled in some area of expertise, be it healing, herbology, astronomy, the elements, weather, and so on. All members must contribute and expand their knowledge and proficiency, or be cast away from the pack until their death. They are a small guild, exclusive and selective in accepting new blood into their Order, for the passing of time has stolen their warmth for generosity, and worn away their tolerance for the meek, dispassionate and ignorant. All disciples are expected to become Masters in their respective field, without exception. The passing of leadership is not according to heirs and bloodline, as is the case for all other packs on Anikira – it is inherited by those wise and intellectually strong enough to lead.

Until now, The Order has remained hidden from Anikira – but under the leadership of Cobain, a grizzled old dire wolf with a grander vision in his eye, this secret cult remains a secret no more, finally emerging from its cavernous abode to populate the southernmost point of Anikira. A new age for wisdom began that day, and the Order received a new title, and a bold introduction – Imperium.

Okayyy everyone – here’s a rough outline of a pack that will soon (SOON) be introduced. This has been my secret project and it’s been so hard to keep quiet about it!! The alpha, Cobain, will be replacing Valhalla’s extinct slot, who will be perishing in the nearby future. Cobain will have one blind eye that is able to see ghosts, aaand here is a sneaky preview of him:

They will be officially claiming Xisyn, and a full backstory of the pack’s history will be in Cobain’s bio when I get it posted, so stay tuned. If anyone would like to be a founding member, or discuss any plotting potential at ALL, please feel free to contact me in the c-box or via PM! Or if your character wants to connect with any dead family members or ancestors, Cobain is your guy. I have so much muse for Imperium and I would love it if anyone else wants to hop on board, too. Be warned - this is NOT a reserved pack centred around family and learning, it is a rather dark place of discipline, deathly hard work and high expectations! Sammy will be playing a founding member, and one of her OC’s will be a high ranked member, so if anyone else wants to create an original character to fit into this pack (and it’s rather epic backstory) don’t be afraid to jump into this crazy cult-y bandwagon!

I’ve got a bunch of adoptables coming, who will all have their own unique place in the pack (as it will be somewhat difficult for ‘outsiders’ to join) so keep your eyes peeled for those! I’ve been working very hard on them these past few days, so hopefully my effort shows. xD
