 Not any direct questions, I’m curious to see some more of the political and societal aspects to the wolves, such as how they select new leaders, what kind of hierarchical structure do the individual packs have, are they separated into smaller packs within a larger kingdom, such as multiple packs of black wolves and multiple packs of timberwolves or are they just two large packs? Do the wolves have codes of honor, akin to the warrior’s code from the Warriors books? The religious compenents are curious too, such as the differential between the black wolves anscestors, and the timberwolves worship of Mother Nature.

     The Black Wolves political structure is very basic. Each pack is lead by a single leader, and all packs and their leaders are ruled over by the Kin Master. Black Wolf pack leaders are chosen by trials of combat. Every full moon, those wishing to be pack leader must have the support of at least half the pack to issue the challenge, else it can be ignored by the current leader.
Kin Master’s can be challenged once at the first of every year, with the support of over half the pack leaders present. Or else it can be ignored. During the untimely death of a Kin Master, two pack leaders are voted on. The two must then duel to the death, the winner is the new Kin Master of the Black Wolves.

     Timberwolf politics are different. Pack leaders are based on blood-lines and succession, each Timberwolf pack has a leader and an heir. Heirs are nearly always the eldest pup of the pack leader. Next in line beneath all of their pups is their immediate relatives. Challenges can still be issued however, but practically the entire pack must support the challenger, or else this is seen as treason against the current ruling bloodline.
Timberwolf packs have no absolute leader or overload. Each pack instead have always more or less respected their own territories. The Timberwolf pack leaders all meet together every full moon and have a “monthly council” per say.

As for a “code of combat”, I’m working on that.
