Seiiki means sanctuary.
Family, the family one has chosen for themselves, must come before all else.
The once-mafia, Sem’ya, dwindled into an ember of its once fiery inferno but Raisa wouldn’t allow it to smother. Just shy of a year old, spurred by the death of her father, Rajani, Raisa takes the reins of her family -- or, what’s left of it. After gathering Akuji and Shreya as advisors, she returns home to assess her territory and finds….. nobody.
But she does not falter. Raisa reforms the pack into something more: a sanctuary for all those who want to be a part of their family, a guild of traders who want to be the best prepared, a unit she seeks to be no less respected by their allies and no less feared by their enemies.

☪ Be loyal to the family, the sanctuary as a whole, above all else. Loyalty and Unity are the main points the sanctuary stands for most firmly. All members of the group must work together to not just survive, but thrive.

☪ You may fight; You may scar; You may go as far as maiming your fellow comrades, but killing other Seiiki members (including honorary), even by accident, is strictly prohibited, resulting in the forfeit of your life.

☪ Start no shit, take no shit. Be cordial, but defend yourself and your brethren against outside forces by any means necessary. Do not harm the children. Do not harm the innocent. Do not attack unprovoked.

☪ The ruler-by-blood’s word is final. Disobey if you'd like, but be ready to face the consequences no matter how severe, dramatic, or potentially unfair.

☪ Anyone may bring a client to the sanctuary with temptations of goods, but not allowed to make offers of any kind; only the current rulers may make let alone approve or deny a trade to cut out confusion of what’s available to be traded.

☪ There are no “general” or basic ranks in the family, only specialized ones that are believed to bring out the best in each given member. While one can decide to switch their main job for the pack at any given time, it’s encouraged to pick the one thing you love and master it.

☪ Any trade deemed “beneficial” to Seiiki will be considered, including but not limited to: food, mentoring, arranged marriage, children, pelts/horns/hooves/bones, general trinkets, assistance in an upcoming fight or large game hunt, herbs, poisons, drugs, or highly valuable information.
All sales final; no substitutions, exchanges, or refunds.

☪ Seiiki offers an ally "rank" for honorary members that have proven their loyalty but call another place home if they agree to help when called upon. Will not accept dual citizenship.

☪ Open to any and all species willing to pull their weight!

☪ For all larger scale plots, please run them by RavenMarie OOC first. The spicier the better!

☪ Activity is key to moving up in rank/having a good reputation IC.

Sovereign —Often also referred to as Empress(Emperor)/Queen(King)/Tsarina(Tsar). Absolute head of the family, voice of the law. Makes all final calls, directs where necessary if a group leader is missing or busy, and encourages everyone to find their place. Recruits and accepts new members. Expected to have proficient knowledge in all skill sets in order to properly gauge trades for fairness, to properly serve their people. Does whatever job needs done; if the pack is low on hunters, they’ll fill caches, ect. The ruler-by-blood is considered the “main” ruler, and how much power they actually share with their potential partner varies from leader to leader - most are usually ranked Consort, some may be ranked as a secondary Sovereign.

Prince/Princess — The next ruler-by-blood, as chosen by the current. If one has not been chosen upon their death, the members of Seiiki vote for the next leader from among the Lord’s and Lady’s. Expected to have proficient knowledge in all skill sets in order to properly gauge trades for fairness, to properly serve their people. Does whatever job needs done; if the pack is low on hunters, they’ll fill caches, ect. Sits on the Sovereign’s council.

Lord/Lady — Children of the current ruler-by-blood. All potential heirs to the sanctuary trained to either be married off or otherwise potentially rule their own group one day. Can recruit new members but must run them by the ruler(s) for proper acceptance until 2 years of age. Expected to pick a skill to master just like everyone else, but also expected to have a proficient knowledge of everything else, too. This title may be gifted to the ruler-by-blood’s siblings, if they so wish, but all children have claim to inheritance first. Does whatever job needs done most; if the pack is low on hunters, they’ll fill caches, ect. Sits on the Sovereign’s council unless otherwise unneeded or prohibited.

Regent —Advisor(s) on the Sovereign’s council first and foremost. Second in command, right hand of the ruler(s). May be expected to fill in for any of the group leaders, in charge of the family when the rulers aren’t around. Recruits and accepts new members. Does whatever job needs done; if the pack is low on hunters, they’ll fill caches, ect.

Consort — Mate of the current Seiiki ruler, usually by betrothal for politics or to a by-blood ruler who doesn’t care to share their power for some reason or another. Essentially, becomes an advisor on the council with more wiggle room to their lives and freedom in their daily agenda. Only expected to fill in whichever rank is low on help like the rest of the council. May recruit and accept new members.



Warden — The lead hunter, limit of one. Leads group hunts, tends to caches, watches prey/herd migrations, inspects all potential gathering areas for tradable goods. Trains and commands all Shadow’s and Star’s. Sits on the Sovereign’s council.

Star —Gatherers, under the direct command of the Warden. Tasked with finding miscellaneous goods to trade. Antlers/horns/bones, herbs, exotic feathers/prey/stones, ect.


Champion —The elite warrior, limit of one. The first line of both offense and defense, charged with upkeep and protection of the borders of the territory. Trains and commands all Sentinel’s. One of few members who don’t often leave home unless on important missions. Sits on the Sovereign’s council.

Sentinel —Warriors, protectors. Under the direct command of the Champion. Tasked with maintaining the defense of Seiiki. One often accompanies each scout that leaves home.


Sentry —The keeper of knowledge, master salesman, limit of one. Knows what guests are with the pack, what loners are resting nearby, and when another group is trying to settle nearby. Sets up alliances, sends messages to other packs, number one in bringing in clients. Trains and commands all Vigil’s. Sits on the Sovereign’s council.

Vigil —Scouts, under the direct command of the Sentry. Range away from home to find clients, prime hunting grounds, or hotspots for gathering tradable goods.


Druid —The master doctor, limit of one. Mental and physical healer, herbalist and poison master, weather reader. Trains and commands all Fairy and Fae’s. Sits on the Sovereign’s council.

Fairy —General herbalists of varying specialites, under direct command of the Druid.

Fae —Poison masters, under direct command of the Druid.


Oracle —The wisest teacher, limit of one. Knows Seiiki history, introduces kids to the different jobs of the pack, councilor for and between members. Trains and commands all Scholars. Sits on the Sovereign’s council.

Scholar —Babysitters, storytellers, and often mentors, under the direct influence of the Oracle but choose their own specialties to teach. May also be trusted with teaching the next generation about the family and its history, and even helping to train them in the basics.


Fledgling — Apprentices. Earn a mentor at 5 months old to learn their chosen rank and accompanying skills, but must also have knowledge of basic survival skills like hunting and fighting. Newcomers to the family are accepted to this rank and may also receive a temporary mentor to show them the ropes/teach them the laws and ranks (often the one who brought them home). To move upward in ranks, skills must be assessed and on par with their peers.

Seedling — Kids. Expected to stay out of trouble and enjoy childhood. Bonus points for getting a head-start learning anything about Seiiki and/or general survival. At 5 months old (if ready), bump up to Fledgling and get a mentor.

The southernmost half of the beach; sandy, open, beautiful.

Once called Ozero lake, since renamed in honor of her father, Rajani, once Raisa took the throne. A lake hiding treasures of the not-so-distant ocean. Doesn't have many fish in it, but resides on the edge of the forest; perfect for days of basking in the sun and cooling off in the crystal waters.

---

A good place to find a variety of herbs, and also the small critters chewing on them.

---

One of two rivers feeing into Lake Akuji, forks further into the forest before leaving the territory.

---

The second of two rivers feeding into Lake Akuji.

---

Once known as Ruchey River, renamed Brothers River, as it connects Lake Akuji and Lake Rajani. The river feeding out of the lakes that eventually dwindles into creek and vanishes into the earth just outside Ichorwood.

---

Good places to find a wide array of wildflowers, and also larger critters chewing on them.

---

Once named Lagunu lake, renamed in honor of her uncle and foster father, Akuji when Raisa took the throne. With two separate rivers feeding into the top and one out the bottom, the lake better hidden in the folds of the crimson forest is stocked with fish galore.

(a few) Subterritories & Landmarks

One must have strength in yourself, pride for your home and loyalty to your people. There is little room for weak wolves in Northfall. One must be strong- be it strong-minded or physically. Everyone is expected to pull their weight in the north.
Much if Northfall holds a Viking-like lifestyle, including its King. Wolves of Northfall have freedom of exploration and travel. It is not uncommon for members to be gone days, weeks, or even sometimes month at a time. Vikings should bring back knowledge, goods, gifts or even new members to their pack to help build & prosper. Spread the word of Northfall while your out and about!
As its founders come from a place of worship, they once believed in what was called 'The gods of Old' as well as Norse gods. Being adventurers, they have also come to know of other religions, but when Ragnar was slain by a false deity, Kongungr Arvid forbid all religions, and gods within Northfall going forward. Deities and God characters are not welcomed within Northfall and will be attacked and killed upon discovery, if found.

Honored & Granted are unlimited positions. Royal Court may only have one wolf for each position/title as these are the Leaders of that trade. The determining factor if more than one desires the rank at the same time is through ic activity, longevity, and/or ic challenges.

At six months pups can (and should) begin being trained by specialists in each field of skill set. It is usual to practice each for one month so when one reaches a year, they have learned the basics of all trades to survive on their own when they disperse or to begin mastering the chosen art within the pack. This can be done icly for character development or BTS teachings.

Do not (overly) harm your fellow packmate or ally. If there is a disagreement it must be handled civilly or the issue given to the Leaders to decide. This does not include dominance fights and spats. Have at it. Royal Court challenges may be made but the Superiors have the right to veto this. Challenges against the King & Queen happen rarely, though if the majority masses rally against their Leaders, dethroning can occur. In the case of major decision making, the Superiors may ask upon their Royal Court for a vote on whats best for the pack.

While we may pillage, we do not rape and pillage. While free love and all that is okay, taking someone by force is not. We're classy warmongers over here. If you do it, you'll get your bits bit off. During battle, if a youth submits they are often free to escape or taken as prisoner unless dire circumstances tell otherwise.
