Welcome to the first-ever Spring Festival on A Falling Star! We are hosting a multitude of events over the course of the next month to finish off Spring and bring us into Summer. Contests, drawings, races, you name it - we’ve got it! We are starting off the event with the introduction of our first ever site-wide plot - Omen in the Sky. Each of the Kingdom’s Corvidae have been given a message from the Kingdom of Stars - the Kingdoms must bring about peace or face certain doom, but the War has been raging for generations. Will the Corvidae be able to talk sense into their Alphas, or will the Kingdoms have to face the doom that the Stars predict alone. We can’t wait to find out! Below is a list of just a few of the bonuses and events that we will be having over the course of the next month.

We are a fantasy wolf roleplay centered around three warring Kingdoms and the wolves that call them home. The wolf's ancestors; the Kingdom of Stars, are directly linked to the living wolves. They give Alphas the strength to lead for moons past what would have been their prime, and the Corvidae the ability to heal their fellow packmates through prayer. We are semi-literate, only requiring 150 words per post at a minimum! Please check out our Laws of the Land board for more information, and join us on DISCORD to get to know us better!

3.15.2019 - The flowers are blooming, and the prey is running plentiful. Afternoon showers are a frequent occurance across the land, and many newborns are being welcomed into the world after a particularly harsh winter. Major storms seem to be holding back until the Summer, yet the river still runs swiftly.
plot updates
3.22.2019 - The Corvidae for the Kingdom of Astralridge passed away without a Greenhorn to take his place. How will they cope?
Large and imposing, this she-wolf has been bred for the mountains. Her wide-paws allow her to grip onto the mountainside with ease, and her broad chest gives her the stamina needed to climb the steep slopes she calls home. Although her frame is sizable, it still retains a look of feminine grace. Orchid always steps with a sense of purpose, each movement forward deliberate and powerful. Her every movement echos her status: in charge, proud, and confident. The she-wolf's face is long and narrow with rounded eyes and ears, adding to her femininity. Her tail is long and bushy, easily reaching the floor on the rare occasion that it is relaxed and not raised.
Orchid's thick fur is mostly white, yet the sun has tanned her uppermost coat and left it yellow-hued. Her undercoat is a dark grey, yet usually cannot be seen because of the longer top coat. Pawpads, nose, and whiskers all match in a charcoal grey, with no variation. Her eyes are amber, with a sense of confidence that few can imitate. Orchid keeps her fur pristine at all times, taking care in the morning to ensure that her pelt is perfect before greeting her packmates. Although she doesn't mind getting dirty - she believes that as Alpha, she must represent the pack to the best of her ability - and that is perfection.

Leader ― Loyal ― Vengeful
Leader. Orchid is a natural born leader. She is confident, brave, compassionate, and honest. In all things that she does, she considers the pack as a whole and the repercussions for those actions. She is not one to shy away from confrontation, or from questioning wolves, willing to confront any issue that arises. With the wolves who are part of her Kingdom, she is compassionate. However high and mighty she may appear, Orchid has a soft-spot for her pack, and worries constantly over the physical and mental health of her packmates. At a young age, she learned that honesty is the best policy, and carries this with her into her leadership. She considers integrity to play an important part in successfully leading a pack, and is open with her Kingdom about any issue that may arise.
Loyal. Above all else, Orchid is loyal to the Kingdom of Astralridge. Tradition and history are massively important things to Orchid, who views the Kingdom of Astralridge as the closest to the original Kingdom, and therefore the greatest. Her loyalty is unwavering, yet this does not translate into hatefulness of the other Kingdoms. Rather, fierce love for her own.
Vengeful. Unfortunately, Orchid has a tendency to not forgive those who have wronged her easily. She sees those who have harmed her, or her pack, as unforgivable unless a punishment of equal value or higher has been served. This, in turn, makes her an iron-pawed ruler. She believes that the Laws of the Land are to be followed without hesitation and refuses to break them herself. Orchid has been known to hold grudges for some time even after punishment has been dealt, and even to enact punishment at later dates when it will be most impactful. A wolf does not want to get on her bad side.
→ history ←
→ Puphood Orchid was born to her loving parents, Flint, and Primrose. They had struggled for moons to finally have pups, and they were finally blessed with two small pups, who they named Orchid and Lilac. Early on in life, Orchid realized just how important she was to the Kingdom. Wolves would often come to visit them in the den, making a fuss over her and her sister. Her mother was loving and kind, yet unwavering in her discipline. Her father was not quite so kind. He required the best of her at all times, rarely allowing her time to play or to enjoy herself. Flint demanded perfection from the young pup in all things. When her father was away, she would spend the afternoons playing with her sister and bugging the Boneweavers for retellings of their history and their traditions. It is from them that she learned to pride herself on being a wolf of Astralridge, and to hold sacred their traditions.
→ An Alpha's Greenhorn When she was 6 moons old, she left the Storyteller's Den and became a Greenhorn. Apprenticing under her father was nothing to be taken lightly. Every day, she was woken up before the sun rose to patrol the border with her father. During these walks, he told her of the history of the Alphas that came before them, what made them great, what they failed in, and how she could improve the Kingdom moving forward. She was drilled on the Laws of the Land, and their importance to all wolves, and in the ceremonies that she would have to perform. Each day they trained in poise, decision making, and hunting and fighting.
She gave it her all. She was consumed with her training - until the day she was told to spar with a fierce Greenhorn named Aspen. For Orchid, it was love at first sight. She wanted nothing more than to be near this newly found friend - spending any spare time given to her pursuing him and making a point to ask for tasks that involved the other Greenhorn.
→ Becoming a Guardian In time, she was made into a Guardian alongside her fellow Greenhorns, and her sister, - who she had stayed close with during her training, confiding in her as one would a best friend. After the ceremony, she finally got up the courage to approach Aspen and confess her feelings for him. But, in her narrowed view, she had not seen that Aspen was pursuing another, and was not interested in her outside of friendship. Orchid was heartbroken. She spent her vigil in sad silence, vowing to never be played for such a fool again.
→ All Hearts Mend Orchid turned to her pack to mend her broken heart, and it worked. She allowed her heart to open to the pack as a whole, taking the Kingdom on as her new love. She devoted herself once more to follow in her father's pawsteps, continuing to train under him and act in his steed when she needed to. She awaited the day for her turn on the throne, the first female heir to the Kingdom since it's founding.
→ The Sickness She didn't have to wait long - as blackcough spread through the pack come winter with a ferocity that had not been seen in generations. Luckily, Orchid did not catch the disease, but her father and mother both did, as well as the pack's Corvidae and many other wolves. Her mother, already having joined the Boneweavers, passed away first. The pack's Corvidae, Cinder, was next to go, leaving the Pack without a Corvidae for the first time since it's founding. After Cinder died, the rest of the wolves who had caught the disease were soon to follow, including the Kingdom's Alpha and Orchid's father, Flint.
→ Rising to the Top After the death of her father, Orchid assumed the title of Alpha under the open night sky with grace. This is her first spring as Alpha of the Kingdom of Astralridge, and she intends to bring the Kingdom back to it's former glory, even if the Kingdom of Stars appears to have forsaken them.
