REGAR -- The Cracked Peninsula

[Deleted]

R E G A R

Welcome To Hell

TERRITORY --+- For many years, the wolves of Regar have inhabited the Cracked Peninsula. They've adapted as they can to the fluctuating climate. Blistering hot in the day and freezing cold at night, these wolves have got to keep moving lest they succumb to the dangers of mother nature. The only saving grace is the Oasis which is their life source. Considered a sacred place,there is certain etiquette to go along with drinking from this place. Otherwise, in every other square inch of that forsaken place, it every wolf for themselves. Read about the Land Weather and look at the Territory Information

SURVIVAL --+- There was a time when the herds of Antelope left this peninsula due to the pack's greed in hunting them. As they have returned Regar now sees the importance of keeping them put. The pack makes a communal push to hunt these Antelope every month or so. Otherwise, wolves are on their own. Only pups are hunted for and this is only up until their first year. If a wolf chooses it is possible to prey on various rodents, snakes and insects that inhabit the land. However, they should do well to realize that these things can kill them. The Regar are known to be opportunistic cannibals. You can't let food go to waste on the Peninsula.

Special Locations --+-
The Heart Of Estiu or Estiu's Heart -- A more religious name for the Oasis that is the life blood of this land. In Regar folklore, the goddess of Water, Estiu, was a lover of Jinn, the patron god of the pack. She, in turn, gave him her heart. When he was trapped underneath the ground of the Cracked Peninsula, so too was her heart trapped within the lands.

PACK PERSONA --+- Regar aren't necessarily evil but they have adopted certain nefarious ways as a result of living on the Cracked Peninsula. They are cold, what others would see as cruel and understand only the language of violence and aggression. Their entire way of life is built upon the desire to conquer all the lands of Somerset, the Peninsula has not always been kind to them. Their pack dynamic is highly militaristic. Weakness recognizes strength and cowers before it. Only the strongest and cleverest survive, any wolf falling outside these categories may as well be dead. Ruthlessness is admired, compassion is tolerated and forgiveness is nonexistent.

PACK RANKS --+-
Emperor & Empress -- The leaders. The title of Emperor/Empress is inherited. Though the two outrank any other wolf in the pack, one position is superior to the other. Wolves who directly inherit the position, and don't pair into the title, are referred to as "High Emperor/Empress". Both males and females can claim this title. Any challenge to the position must be accepted. Defeated Emperors/Empresses are either killed or exiled.

Shah -- Regar loosely adheres to a religion in that they have a god they pray to. The Prophet has a direct connection to this god. They may be male or female and operate outside of pack law. Though they hold no official rank, they are revered as respected as they are thought to be a reincarnation of their god. They are on the Mandatis Council, advisers to the Emperor and Empress.

The Legate -- Though Emperors/Empresses actively take part in leading war parties, in time of peace, the Legate operates to keep their soldiers in check. They choose and mentor their successor. They are on the Mandatis Council, advisers to the Emperor and Empress.

The Rex -- This wolf leads the Primus, the primary hunting force for Regar. Primus only have one chance to move on the heard before they flee. Every move is made on this wolf's order and they are revered as the cleverest of the pack. The Rex chooses and mentors his/her successor They are on the Mandatis Council, advisers to the Emperor and Empress.

Centurion -- General fighting force of Regar. They're not very good at hunting as these wolves are generally built more for strength. They are brutal, cunning tacticians and skilled in their trade. They are soldiers in war and guards in times of peace, patrolling the peninsula.

Primus -- These wolves are more specialized for hunting though they are also considered a part of Regar's fighting force. They are the fastest and smartest in the pack. Though sometimes smaller than Centurion, they are lithe and extremely capable of holding their own.

Optio -- Wolves aged 1 year. As Students, they spend their second year in training to become either a Centurion or Primus. Though the pack collectively trains them, they often chose to stick close to a particular mentor or teacher.

Catella -- Pups. They live a rather carefree life up until they are a year old.

Infimus -- The lowest of the low. These wolves garner no respect and are seen as weaklings. Every Catella goes through a rite of passage to become an Optio, those who fail are resigned to this position. Until they are able to undergo this same Rite of Passage, Outsiders are also considered Infimus but are treated slightly better than their counterparts.

Pack Customs/Rituals --+-
✖ Regar are cannibalistic.
✖ Challenge [fights] between one wolf or another are referred to as duels and must be formally declared to be recognized i.e. "I challenge you to a duel."
✖ When you're being formal, it's customary to place a wolf's rank before their name and bow in greeting.
✖ As said before, it's customary to bow when greeting a wolf of superior rank.
✖ Most wolves within Regar are descended from the first to set paw in the land. Therefore, they have a family (last) name. Once being accepted into the pack, Outsiders can choose their own name, take the name of the wolf they pair with or have one given to them by any wolf on the Mandatis Council.
✖ Before Catella or Outsiders can be Optio, they must travel from the Cracked Peninsula to the Varesh Desert and back without food or water in only 7 days. As proof, they are to return with a piece of plant life as vegetation does not grow on the peninsula. This is referred to as "The Ordeal".
✖ As outsiders are not generally permitted to drink water from the Oasis, wolves must utter the name of their god, Jinn, in order to drink.
✖ A common punishment within the pack is exile. This entails a wolf being sent alone in the direction of Varesh Desert, never to return. Those that do are killed instantly.

Laws --+-
I. You keep what you kill. Every challenge must be accepted.
II. Any challenge to the position of Emporer/Epress, Legate or Rex must be accepted. The defeated wolf is exiled or executed on the discretion of the victor.
III. Only Optio or above can challenge wolves on the Mandatis Council.
IV. Catella who fail the Ordeal [return after the seven days] are resigned to the rank Infimus.
V. Only through a show of great strength can Infimus take a place as Primus or Centurion.
VI. Infimus can only pair within their rank.
VII. Outsiders are resigned to rank Infimus until they prove themselves by undergoing The Ordeal. If successful, they go on to become Optio. If unsuccessful they are killed or exiled.

sons of jinn

MYTHOLOGY --+- In the beginning there were two. He was called Sol, the sun and the day, and she was called Lluna, the moon and the night.

They bore fore. The first was Jinn, the heat and fire. The Second was Tardor, The ground and plants. The Third was Ira, the air and the seasons. The Fourth was Estiu, the water and the weather. Jinn loved Estiu and Tardor loved Ira, each giving the other their heart. Together they created Somerset and ruled over it peacefully for millennia. Each created wolves in their likeness and they became the first packs.

Jinn soon tired of ruling alongside the others. As fire spreads and eats up everything in its path, so did Jinn as he scorched the land and killed the wolves of his counter parts. He succeeded in scorching and burning the entirety of Somerset. That is when Sol and Lluna came down to return peace, washing Somerset in stardust and restoring order. So that he may never cause chaos again, Jinn was imprisoned underneath the ground of the Cracked Peninsula and his children banished to suffer on its inhospitable land.

HISTORY --+-
YEAR 0 -- Regar has seen a change in leadership. In a duel witnessed by the entirety of the pack, Artemisia killed her father and took his role as leader of the pack gaining the rank of High Empress.

YEAR 1 -- We've yet to write it.
