Pack and Lycan Facts
O'Connor Pack Facts:
Pack is roughly 200 wolves strong
Emigrated when New World was founded and has been in their community/compound for 200 years
Lycans typically shift for the first time at age 12, then choose specialty and begin weapons training and choose specialty at 18. No sexual activity before 18
O'Connor Pack (U.S.) was formed by younger brother of Alpha of original O'Connor Pack in Ireland - Seamus O'Connor
Present-day original O'Connor Pack is nearly 1000 years old and 1000 wolves strong, due to absorbing so many other Packs and Clans over the centuries
Lycan Facts:
Lycans become denser and heavier after first shift with dramatically improved healing capabilities, senses and strength
They recognize their pre-destined mates by scent
They can only get pregnant during Heat; heat cycles generally run every 6-7months and pregnancies last only 6 months. Litters of 2-3 are not unheard of, but single births are most common, especially in Alpha bloodlines
Alphas and Alpha Heirs (those inheriting or mated to Alpha blood) have access to Pack and Alpha Magic. Can assist in healing any in their own Pack, but especially their own mate and cubs. Can telepathically communicate with any member of their own Pack through _Pack bond in either form (wolf or human). Can draw on power of Pack and Pack magic to boost strength and physical abilities for short time periods for defense of Pack as situation requires (typically in emergencies)
100 Packs in USA, 2 in each state
200 Packs in North America: 100 in USA, 70 in Mexico and 30 in Canada
Alpha Council governs all 200 North American Packs and are there to handle disputes and punish Packs that break their laws and edicts. Or at least is supposed to. In recent years Alpha Council President Viktor Petrov has subverted the Council to his own power-hungry ends, which is the reason for some recent bloody battles and the upcoming War
Alpha Conclave is called twice a year, where Alphas and small numbers of their staff from every Pack come together to (these days theoretically) advance their species, discuss new policy, business deals and partnerships etc. for all of North America
Eradication War: "Back in 1914 we (the O'Connor Pack) were already very wealthy, and a number of other Packs were envious and became greedy. They colluded together, wanting our money and land, and decided it would be tidiest if they wiped us out altogether: the O'Connor Pack was what the aggressors in the Eradication War intended to eradicate.
"Similar to World War I, existing treaties between Packs drew the Packs of almost the entire North American Continent into the conflagration, which caused massive loss of Lycan lives on both sides. The only reason the humans didn't notice such an explosive event was that they were focused upon the Great War in Europe, which was almost simultaneous with ours and fortunately for our desire for our existence not to be noticed by the humans lasted longer.
"The Eradication War lasted 3 years and at the end of it, the Alpha Council was formed, and edicts were laid down that still govern our society today. It's how we set up many of our current laws, why we allow no mating or sexual contact until 18, why we have two Packs to every state with each Pack's territory clearly defined, and many other rules and regulations."
Silver Guardian Prophecy: "When the hearts of men and wolves turn blacker than the moonless night sky, a beacon will shine once again, like the silver light of Luna herself. The Royal bloodline of the First Champion will once again walk the land, guarding those wolves who have kept in their hearts their faith and their love for their Goddess. A new Guardian will be born to rejection and raised in exile and suffering, yet Luna's blessing will be placed upon his heart, for her blessing will shine like the silver moonlight from his soul, so that all will know of the Silver Guardian and his great task. The burning fires of pain and suffering will consume him in a fierce blaze, but from the ashes he will be tempered and forged with a heart of steel that can never be broken. Like the First Champion before him, he will walk alone for years before he comes home and finds his destined place and his other half. Heir to the Patron of Warriors his Great Love will be born again, and with her he will reside and together they will unite the wolves under Luna's love and care. She will be his sheath and comfort for he will face pain and suffering before his task is even begun. The blackness lying upon the land will recede when the Holy Light of Luna shines as he walks where shadows lie, as the Silver Guardian will unite the wolves and the wilds once more. In his gaze will be reflected the judgment of our Mistress as his Great Love will be the only one able to calm the storm that he will bring. Only she will be able to restore him and bring him home when the rage of battle has consumed him. May Luna have mercy upon the wicked, for the Silver Guardian will not."
