breeding / birthing Prey is dwindling, hiding away in their keeps for the incoming storms that winter brings. Eat sparingly, the weather around you is harsh and demanding.

. t h e . m o u n t a i n s.
The winters in the Mountains are the harshest and the first to get hit. The mountaintops are now skewered with icicles that could challenge the sizes of even the largest wolves. The hot springs still remain warm and inviting, though they are few and rare to find with the changing climate. Prey is very scarce, mostly at the base of the mountains bordering the lands of the waterfalls. Winters fury blasts through the high ranges, as harsh winds begin scattering snow and ice ready to batter and beat against any wolf that dares to tread outside the security of the dens. Visibility is at a minimum. . t h e . w a t e r f a l l s .
Prey is more abundant in the waterfall lands, though still on the scarce side. Only the largest waterfall remains flowing, even though it is only by the tiniest bit. The cliffside is now more treacherous than ever as ice begins to layer itself thick upon the ledges. The lake below the largest fall is nearly frozen, save where the last bit of water streaming from the mountains flows continuously. The air around these lands is cold and crisp as the winds carry snow and storms across the froze lake, dropping temperatures far below the freezing point. . t h e . f o r e s t .
The leaves have all left the trees and only the coniferous trees remain tall and not dormant. The ground is frozen over with frost at all times, and a soft snowfall seems to coat the terrain on a regular basis. Prey is scarce, though small animals such as rodents can be found lurking beneath the frost for the trained eye. Cover and underbrush now dead and dormant for the winter, there is very little cover to hide most wolves in the frozen terrain. . t h e . m a r s h .
By far the warmest of the lands, a thin frost covers everything, making the ground firmer and tougher to walk on. The very few places that had any standing water are frozen over, but just with a thin layer of ice that could barely hold the weight of a mouse, let alone a wolf that would be so unfortunate to step into one. Prey is the most abundant here because of the slightly warmer climate, though the temperature rarely rises above freezing. Hare and other small rodents roam around in search for food that is almost as scarce as the prey is.

Tola and Crow (the two wolves left to lead the pack while Lucid and Mira put into motion their plans for Aelyn's Domination) have now been competing, much like siblings do, to be the best leader for the pack and to show their absent father who should be the next leader of the mountains. Lucid, far across the lands, has claimed the Kumori Plains to join his own terrain, expanding the terrain of the Mountain pack by more than double. How does this fare with the rest of the Mountain pack?
01.07.2010
Cindershock's stomach is swollen with pups, though how will this fare as the lands are slowly threatened by the ever-so-ambitious Lucid? The waterfall pack, by far the largest pack in the lands, though also the most gentle and kind hearted, stand with two borders, most of their terrain, sharing the lands that Lucid has claimed. Will this cause a stress on the pack and for the upcoming litter? Or will this pack be able to handle what Lucid has in store for Aelyn?
01.07.2010
Something seems to be lurking over these lands as the Alpha's constantly disappear. Not only Corrinth, but now Tyrome... and a new Alphess has prepared herself to lead the pack and claim the lands. Vanya, a new pack member with her own ideals for a pack seems to be stepping up to the plate to lead the lands in this time of peril, but will she be able to make a strong enough stance to get the pack to follow her? Or will the pack fall to chaos as the news of Lucid's plans spread like wildfire across the lands?
01.07.2010
The pack has come to find some shocking news about one of their own, Lydia. Though she didn't divulge every detail, the pack now has the upper hand on knowing what kind of threat Lucid has become since his unruly and untimely invasion of the Marshlands to steal the very essence of immortality from Lydia. The pack, though not quite bonded as such, holds more knowledge than any other packland, which leads to the question... what will they do with this knowledge?
02.03.2010 - I know a lot of things have been happening with character submission changes, and Haven and Mira's auditions, but we can't neglect the OTS's either! Not many votes and they close soon. So head to this board and visit each of the catagories and cast your votes please. ~In Fates Hands~
02.02.2010 - A few changes regarding Character Submissions, Characters, and Bans (whoo!) has been put into place. The power of Earth (anything relating) has been added to the banned list while the powers of Fire and Empathy have been temporarily removed. Also, on the topic of powers, for each character's biography (approved and submitted) must have a 200 word count for each power. This means some minor editing is necessary for any current character submissions as well as any accepted characters. And on one last note, make sure you check out Mira's Audition and Haven's Audition! --PunkWolf 01.28.2010 - Sadly, a member who was a vital part of the major plot on Aelyn has grown inactive. But, the two characters involved must live on! So this message is to notify all members of auditions for Haven and Mira. These characters are VITAL to Aelyn's current plot. We need ACTIVE and DEDICATED members to audition for the parts. Make sure you follow all the rules and guidelines though, the staff will be judging auditions VERY STRICTLY!

Okay, it was brought to mine attention that the RPOTM and MOTM are way overdue for a new roll. So, I've made new nominations. It is located here. Please post, yes? Thank you. K.errigan
10.20.2008
Well, there is yet another pack open for claiming. Corrinth has now disappeared as well. What is happening to the Alphas of the lands? What will happen after this? Two packs lay unclaimed... The Waterfalls and the Forests.... who will step up and become the next Alpha of those territories? Feel free to claim them as you see fit! - Sway -
10.5.2008
Hey, ho! Aelyn's overdue for an alpha's pack meeting! Everyone has been sent a PM by myself letting all members know. I would like all alphas to reply, letting me know if the dates mentioned will be workable for them. As for right now, the meeting (at the Sacred Circle) is set to start at the end of November (28, 29, 20) If any alphas cannot make this date, let either myself or Sway know. We want the meeting to work out with timing for everyone. Each pack is expected to have at least one alpha or packmember to represent the pack attend. As for disputes and fights that are currently over the rank of alpha, we please ask that those be settled before the meeting.
If you have any questions or comments, PM either myself or Sway. We like clearin' things up for ya.
~Peace

9.2.2008
Well, well! Let's give a HUGE Congrats to Kerrigan and Mira for winning Member of the Month and Roleplayer of the Month! Congrats guys!
8.24.08
New Skin up. Everyone tell me what you think!
K.errigan
8.15.08
Well, it looks like the Fukai Waterfall pack is open for claiming again. Yet another Alpha, or rather, an Alphess this time, has gone missing and now the lands are without an Alpha to lead them. Feel free to jump in and claim them, if you dare. You never know if you will be the next to disappear.
Sway
Okay new update! We have polls going for MOTM and RPOTM! Also some new changes are going to happen. Sway is still working out the details but go check out the polls in the Forum Updates board and Sway will explain it all. And remember, it's no fun if no one votes! =D So, scurry along. lol And a new system to make it more interesting is going to go up once Sway gets the details done. A way you can get a sort of 'money' to buy new powers, wings, a new skin based on your character and a whole load of other cool things. Also, to make that system work Sway has created a new rule! One power per character from now on.

DESIGN THE PACKLANDS!!!
There is currently a Design the Packlands contest going on! You can find the information for it HERE. Please let Sway know if you are interested in participating by posting on the thread there. There is no set date yet, but I would like to have them done by the end of August if at all possible. The winning design has the potential to be the map for the terrain of Aelyn!
If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to contact one of your hardworking staff and we'll be sure to assist you.
Here you will find the general rules and basic information. This should be the first place you go upon joining this forum. Actually it's best if you read these before you join to make sure Aelyn is the right place for you! Please read everything and keep it in mind while roleplaying.
Want to be a staff on Aelyn? Well click on this board and read through all the information. Make sure you know the site well and you've been a good member on the site. We want staff willing to help out and participate, not just people looking for the name!
Want to add a few extra details of your character? Give a little more insight? Just want a place to keep trake of images, threads, or plots? Well come here. Each member gets only one thread for all their characters, but a sub-board can be bought in the shop. Do not post in anyone elses log book thread. You can name it whatever you wish, decorate it as you want as long as it does not stretch the page.
After you join, and read all the rules, please come here to create your character! We love in depth characters, but at least follow all the minimum requirements. Follow the rules mentioned on the form and you'll get approved in no time. All approved wolves are moved to the pack of their choice in the board below.
Once your wolf has been approved in the board above, one of the staff will move the profile here. Please no not post your forms here. It is not allowed, but don't try. This is only for staff approved characters. If your wolf has moved packs, please PM one of the staff and they will move your wolf to the correct sub-board.
Can't roleplay your character? Feel bad for leaving them and not posting with them? Or are you the one looking for a character but can't think of any ideas? Come here for either case. You can move your wolves here, or post in the thread of a wolf to ask if you can take them. Please make sure you read any rules or regulations posted for each wolf.
Here is where you can find all the profiles of the characters that have moved on to live with the ancestors or elsewhere. Those souls who's bodies remained on the earth, but spirits moved on to a place they can call home. This is where you can pay your respects to those who have died in the lands of Aelyn.
Here is where all the dead threads go when the roleplays have fizzled within them. You can go here and research the past in order to help your present and future posts, but all threads here are dead and unusable.
We wonder, and we pray. And they listen. Those that follow our lives and watch out for dangers are located here. It's unknown what it really looks like. It's said to change depending on the moods. But many wolves will look up and see the brilliant cosmos with their bright stars and dream.

The life inside the pack lands has been left. The soul has left the physically body and they come here, to Paradise. the heaven for the wolves of Aelyn. Here they do not have to fight for food, for land. All is provided. They can finally rest after a life of trial on the earth.After your wolf has passed on you can continue roleplay here if you wish and more plots can be created that way.
Conditions upon these mountaintops can be very hazardous. Vicious snowstorms and blinding winds tear through these ranges. At the highest most peak of the mountains, there is a volcano, which gives life to the hot springs that erupt from several regions of the mountains themselves. The numerous caves and dwellings found here provide a great place for shelter and the conditions are a great defense to any oncoming attackers. A very strategic place to begin a pack.
This beautiful waterfall is a wonderful sight for any. It falls into the beautiful Fukai Lake. Behind the waterfall is a large cavern, a perfect spot for a den, should you not mind constant dampness. The pathway leading behind the waterfall is very slippery and dangerous... only those well equipped or well balanced can get through unscathed. Very strategic for a battlefront or a place to keep enemies at bay. Several waterfalls grace the lands, though the biggest falls into the lake. The river, from the tips of the Mountains, feeds the flourishing waters in all times of year.
A place of mystery and enchantment, this circle of stones sits in the heart of the packlands. It is a large place, with many rocks. Four, flat rocks for alphas and their mates to sit. Large ones in the middle of it all, smaller ones in the last, outside ring. On those massive rocks, the Ancestors sit, whether physically or spirtually to reside over any pack meetings. Where did it come from? What is it's use? That is for the Packs to decide and to dictate what rules the land shall abide by. This, is the sacred meeting place... a place of peace and harmony, of the four packs under the divine and the great Ancestors.
The forest is beautiful. All sorts of trees grow with striking glory throughout this territory. Evergreens always leave a dark shade in every season, while many others turn and fall in autumn. The trees are thin around the edges of the territory, but they become so thick near the center, that wolves usually need to go one at a time. Vines cover the tree trunks, soft moss the floor. Roots and rocks can catch the unwary, so a good step is needed for this land. The dens are right in the middle, in a almost clear space in the thickest part of the forest. Boulders make up the top of dens, tree roots holding the dirt still and making it stable.
These lands are big. Located in the southern portion of Aelyn, it borders a large part of the Kumori Plains which are a branch from it. The land is made of long marsh grass that can hide pools of stagnant water a quicksand. There many small dry places where a wolf can rest. Near the northern corner of the territory is a small corpse of trees that are low and dripping with moss. It is a small section of dry lands that leads to the outside lands. In the center of Nigori is a large plateau. It isn't huge, but it is raised about 5 feet of dry earth and hold the camp of the pack. Large bolders are everywhere, burried deep and the wolves use these for dens. The packland is mostly marsh buck and marsh hare but many other food sources exist.
This area is a land that belongs to no one. No wolf can claim this land for it has been left to the loner wolves. The plains, filled with wildflowers, tall grasses, bounties of prey and very little shelter, makes for a poor place to seek a home, though a home can be found here beneath some dug-out hills or fallen trees. It is beautiful, if not a perfect place to live. Grass provides hiding places and some scattered trees give shade.
Well, here it is. Now you can use the money you earn through roleplaying and whatnot in order to buy different things, from Graphics to Wings to Powers and the like for your characters! Lots can be found here, so stop on by and take a look!
If you are going to be gone for an extend period of time, please post here. This way, when we do the monthly activity checks and you have posted here, the Staff members will not have to take action against you. This is important that you do post here for any elongated absences.
