[OOC] Pack Territory

[Sand Raider]

(Original map created by Pandorus Sphinx!)

The Desert Land
It is hot. It is harsh. And there is not a lot of game to be found. Yet this pack has chosen to fight the good battle against the heat. They have built themselves a series of dens into the ground to provide shade during the hottest part of the day. Their dens tend to be around rocky outcroppings when they can find them. Or partially made out of hollowed out trees. Expectant mothers will be given the coolest and shadiest of the dens available to rear her pups until they are weaned. While water is not as widely accessible, the pack territory does have access to it in is eastern border and will frequently make trips in small groups to enjoy the cool waters.

Snake Rock

~The Heart of the Pack~
The most precious of locations to be protected and never spoken of with outsiders.

This is the location of where the Alpha and Betas dens can be found and where they keep their precious Trinkets that must be protected. Their food and valuables can be found here that were raided from other territories. This is also the location of the birthing dens where pup heavy mothers and newborn pups are hidden away, as well as the pack healers and Seers. Their dens tend to be naturally created in the surrounding rock face - typically having belonged previously to another critter that was either chased out or became a meal for the pack or eroded from the water that flows here. Snake Rock is also where the packs main source of water his hidden.

Pack Ruins

~The Ruins of the Desert~

Once, long ago, something inhabited these strange stone structures that are built like unusual dens. They have been there for as long as the creatures of the desert can remember. These strange structures are built in to the surrounding rock or formed by the ground itself. Ruins of some kind, it is unclear as to why they were created. Those of the desert simply stopped asking. They have accepted that they are just a part of the desert land. Wolves simply refer to them as the Ruins of the Desert.

The ruins have now become the main location for the Sidewinders, Rogues, and Whispers of the Sand Raiders pack. These wolves are free to claim any portion of the ruins for themselves.

Guard Points

~The Groundwater Wells~

Another of the oddities that have been discovered in the desert, are strange rock structures with holes in them. Upon investigation, it has been learned there is a water source that flows through snake-like tunnels under all that dry land. These structures can be found at various points through the harshest parts of the desert. A few even have the strange crumbling den structures like the Ruins of the Desert, though not nearly as in tact. Some have crumbled beyond use, while others are still very much in tact. With water being such a precious commodity of the desert lands, these wells are protected fiercely by those that discover them.

The Protectors of the pack are tasked with having wolves stationed at Guard Points, guarding the few wells that are in the Raiders territory.

Pit of Poison

Living in the desert lands can be punishment enough for some, so the Raiders decided to get a little creative. Just beyond the location of Snake Rock is a large pit that is said to have been dug out by the Alpha himself. Inside this pit, along the walls, there are strange holes. Should a wolf be deemed an exile or given the opportunity to have a chance at survival instead of meeting an unfortunate end by the Whispers, they may try their luck with the Pit of Poison. Home to the many poisonous snakes that also call the desert theirs.
