Out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean sits a unique Isle, uninhabited by mankind. The isle is composed of one large mainland called lòn Eilean a second, smaller island just off the cost dubbed lòn Seòmar and four smaller islets just off its coast. All are within reasonable swimming distance for a wolf but the rocky shorelines of each make the task a formidable one.
The isle is wild and untamed, lush with a variety of foliage from towering pines and ceder to a multitude of various herbs, fragrant flowers and other plants. With drastically variant geographical locations from forests and marshes, lowlands to mountain ridges, this vibrant landscape is abundant with a plethora of different animal species.
Moon Valley is one of the most iconic aspects of the Lunaria packlands, offering its wolves lush clearings to romp and play, and everything that could be desired is within reasonable distance. Lake Sinope is off to the side, with a borderline of mountain range sheltering the main clearing and giving it the feeling of a safe haven. Off to the Southwest is the beach, though younger pups are warned away due to waves that could pull them into the murky waters.
Lake Sinope is vital to the pack and the other creatures calling the island home, for it’s one of the largest bodies of fresh water. It is a popular hangout spot for many of the wolves, especially during the summer months. The crystalline waters offer a refreshing respite, but also houses fish for the wolves to catch, should they be quick enough!
Badru River is the only other fresh water source on the island, and is often used for relaxation and fishing, as the overhanging tree canopies surrounding the river give off shade and shelter from the elements. The river stretches for miles, nearly sweeping across the entire Isle. After heavy rains, it can be a danger, though, due to flooding.
Being an Island, the most characteristic trait is of course the Beach, the shores covering the outer perimeter of the Islands and offer a unique view to the pack. While beautiful, it does pose its dangers. Sometimes the pack uses the sandy shoreline to hunt seals, or simply watch the sun set over the horizon. It’s a formidable place, though, and while gorgeous, a wolf could easily fall prey to the waves and be swept out to sea.
The Shoreline is where majority of the seals the pack hunts are found, but the rough outcropping of rocks can be dangerous. The pack recommends only seasoned hunters approach this spot, and with caution.
The “Danger Zone” is an area best left alone, for it comes with more dangers than any other area of the packlands. The waves crash roughly against the uneven stones, threatening to drag an unaware wolf to its death. Or, one false step, can be met with being plunged into icy waters with no way out.
The main forestry is deep and lush, offering its critters safety and many hidden surprises. It covers almost the expanse of the pack territory, and it’s a popular refuge for many wolves. Hunting, playing games like hide and seek, collecting herbs and exploring are all activities that can be done within the forest of the Island.
The Rakesh Mountain range shelters much of the valley with its unmoving presence, and though the wolves don’t typically venture too far up the range, it inspires a feeling of awe.
Another popular hangout spot for the pack would be the Waterfall, which offers a clear, shallow pool for the wolves to swim and play in, with the relaxing sounds of the waterfall close by feeding into it. This is generally where pups first learn how to behave around water, as it poses little threat.
A unique feature that this pack boasts, is a hot spring! Naturally fed from underground, this medium sized pool is a popular place with the Caretakers, who ensure the spot withholds healing properties within its depths.
The Geyser Fields is a desolate, barren area of the packlands that has restricted access to the pup members of the pack. While interesting to see from a distance, it is advised that this area remain free of paws.
