Sacred Pack, a pack deep within in the Lava Lands, the center of the Treacherous Triangle. Feared by many, it is a mysterious and fearsome pack that is run by the equally fearsome Sacred One- some say that no one has ever seen her face, under the skull mask she always wears.... Will you be courageous enough to join?
PACK INFO:
-Led by Sacred One, a she-wolf with black and lava-red fur. She often wears a cape of caribou skin, with the claws of those she has slayed sewn into the border. Her electricity color is a fiery orange, and her eyes (always shadowed by the mask) match her electricity color.
-They live in the dangerous Lava Lands, around what they call the Sacred Lake. In truth, it's a small pond-sized pit of lava,which often spits out lava rocks and can sometimes, mysteriously, turn a shade of blood-red
-Though greenery is sparse, there are a few crop-farmers in the Sacred Pack. They are at a very high level and usually civilians never even glimpse the crops grown.
-The Sacred One has an inner council, called the High Council of the Sacred Lake (or High Council for short) who make a lot of the decisions.
RITUAL INFO:
Sacred Lake Ritual: Each year, the Sacred Lake turns a blood-red color and more smoke then usual rises from it. The Sacred One goes to a high ridge over the lake and 'reads' the smoke, wearing her ritual mask- a skull-mask with horns. She then tells the High Council her readings and they decipher what it means. Sometimes it foretells the coming of war, treachery of pack members, or diseases that are coming
Naming Ritual: All pups are trained as a variety of different things- Warriors, healers, farmers, miners, teachers, and even Council members. At the naming rituals, all pups old enough get Named their jobs(it's rare for one to become a council member at their naming ritual, it usually happens at a later time). Sometimes, inferior pups get executed or exiled.
Exile/Execution Ritual: This is a 'pack-cleansing ritual, where they rid of any Mechainus who are inferior, lacking in their job, getting old, or have betrayed the pack. If they have led an honorable life, however, they don't get executed after old age. All of the exiled get escorted out of the pack territory after a few nippings from the upper-warriors. The executed get taken to the Highest Volcano, the large volcano at the tip of the treacherous triangle, and must be pushed in by the lower-warriors.
High Council Ceremony: The ceremony where an up-and-coming fierce, powerful, and cunning Mechainu is made into a Council member. Little know about this ceremony, since few are made council members.
Rock-Mining Ritual: The igneous rocks made by the Sacred Lake is used by the Sacred Pack as currency for markets and other things, such as the small shops made by lower-class members. Carefully trained miners come and pry up the rock, then bring it to mining caves to make smaller pieces that can easily be stored in Mechainu's center compartments.
Daily Rituals: There are daily rituals, similar to 'church' that happen just before morning rest(they're nocturnal). These include going to the Sacred Lake to chant with the Sacred One, offering up sacrifices to the smoke-spirits that reside in the lake, and reading a bit of the 'Sacred Paper'(papers written by the Sacred One, all about the spirits and such).
MY PACK RULES:
1. You start out as a pup, unless I choose you for the high council in the first place, or to be a teacher. When your character gets old enough, I'll see which one I want to choose you for
2. You earn the igneous rocks once you get 'jobs' Such a, if you are assigned farmer and rp at least ONCE every week, you'll get 10 rocks. If you don't rp, you'll get none. You don't have to rp ABOUT farming, just rp about anything
3. Don't tell other packs about what's going on in our pack. If you do, you'll get executed. (you'll still have your character, but you'll be dead to this pack)
4. Don't complain about your position you get assigned, or you may get only half-pay for a week or two
5. Don't be rude or inappropriate, in or out of rp, in this pack. You'll have 3 warnings, then exile.
6. Don't overthrow the leader, or you'll immediately be exiled or executed
7. Don't order around those higher in rank then you

MORE INFO:
-All pups are raised together, they don't usually know their parents but they do know their siblings.
-Imagination is usually looked down upon (The sacred one fears being over thrown, but no one knows)
-Pups are trained to be fierce, quick, and merciless, but some can still turn out different
-A Mechainu in the Sacred Pack's day usually goes like this: Wake up, work/school, hunt or eat already hunted food, socializing for a little while, whole pack practice battle (except sacred one and high council),hunt for dinner, daily ritual, sleep
-They are NOT immune to lava, and their metal is NOT lava proof, so is the get lava on their metal it will melt

If you want to know about the basics of the Mechainus, it's easy! just check out the ref. sheet moonehdraws.deviantart.com/art… for any basic things you need to know. In this journal, I'll be covering more to do with packs, social life, and territories (and even how you could make your own pack!)!
So, first of all, there are five different sections, like countries but smaller, on the continent that the Mechainus live. They are the Lava Lands, Shore Lands, Meadow Lands, Glacier Lands, and Mountain lands. Here's the info about these places:
:bulletred:Lava Lands- The lava lands are a part of the continent where three giant volcanos stand. Though far apart from each other, they are called the 'Treacherous Triangle'. The land around and inside this triangle is rocky and riddled with lava pools and streams, and plant life is sparse. Any Mechainus who live there have to be tough and vicious in order to have enough food, so there are many battles and there are even legends of cannibal Mechainus. A notable pack there is the Sacred Pack, a fearsome and strange pack based heavily around rituals and religion. They are a large, feared group led by the Sacred One. Her real name is unknown.
:bulletblue:Shore Lands- The shore lands encompass all parts of the continent that are on the shore or near the shore. Mechainus who live there are usually more laid back, having plenty of fish and nice weather. They love to hold festivals and it is rare that there is ever any warring packs. No notable packs are there yet.
:bulletgreen: Meadow Lands- The meadow lands are a large part of the continent, full of grass and the occasional forest. Mechainus who live there are usually tough, but not overly aggressive. They're known to be great hunters and love to hunt the 'traditional' way, like wolves. They don't like outsiders too much, so a festival or market is usually rare. They are usually loyal and trustworthy, but there can always be a 'bad egg' so to speak... There are no notable packs there yet.
:bulletwhite: Glacier Lands- The glacier lands are a northern part of the continent, usually known for its intense winters and snowy wonders. Mechainus who live there are usually gruff, with thick pelts and good camouflage. There are occasional battles between packs over prey or territory, but they still hold the occasional market or festival. There are no notable packs there yet.
:bulletpurple: Mountain Lands- The mountain lands are, of course, the mountains. Many Mechainus love to visit there to see the sights and breath fresh mountain air. The Mechainus who live there are usually great climbers, who have a taste for mountain goat stew. It can get cold on the mountain, but there's not quite as many wars as in the Glacier Lands. They like to hold winter festivals and summer festivals, holding lots of markets so that outsiders can buy their wares.

MORE ABOUT PACKS:
The things you can do with packs is nearly unlimited, as long as you follow rules! You could have a pack similar to my pack, based around rituals and fearsome fighters. Or you could have a group of peace-loving Mechainus who live freely. It's all up to you! You may have noticed that I mentioned 'notable packs' on my descriptions of the different lands. Every month, I'll go to each pack and see which one in every land has the most members (it'd be more convenient for me, you, and your members if you keep track), and that pack will become a 'Notable Pack'. I'll make an update journal with that an other info at the end of each month. Remember, within packs you can make your own pack rules, as long as they abide by the normal rules. Now, do not ask ME to advertise for your pack! You can make a journal, tell your pack members to tell their friends, etc., but I'll having nothing to do with it! You can, however, ask me questions. Here's some simple pack guidelines:
Festivals- Festival are celebrations that Mechainus from any pack can come to for fun, food, and friends. Leaders sometimes enjoy making allies there, or hosting competitions between different packs.
Markets- Markets are usually for all the packs in one land, but it could be between more or less packs! This is where Mechainus take their products to TRADE (there's no money) for other things. These are always non violent and can be fun.
Peace Meetings- Meeting between packs or just pack leaders to discuss things such as borders, festivals, markets, and allies peacefully.
These are just some basic things you can do to start your pack! Have fun, and enjoy!

(So ye. Have any questions, just ask. I'll be posting a journal about the Sacred pack soon!!!)
