Mors is the Alpha to the Southern lands and as such has rules or guidelines to follow. Failure to follow may result in being expelled from the pack or demoted to rank of Omega.
What You Need to Know Regarding...:
Pups
*Any and all wolf pups born with disabilities of any kind are given a week for observation. If after the allotted time, the said disability continues, the pup is disposed of. No exceptions. Weak wolves reflect on the pack and it will not be accepted. (This could lead into a good plot, if say, a mother somehow managed to preserve a pup with disability, etc.)
*She-wolves who continuously birth pups with disabilities are demoted to Omega rank, though expellation from the pack is possible as well.
Wolves Requesting Admittance
*Not all outcasts who request membership amongst the pack will be accepted.
*Wolves with any sort of disability will be harshly turned away.
*Pregnant she-wolves or she-wolves with young pups will not be accepted.
*A season of trial period must pass before complete admittance into the pack. During this time, the trial wolf ranks with the Omegas, at the bottom of the dominance. If after a season the wolf has proved to be a positive addition to the pack, complete admittance follows and the wolf will become an accepted pack member.
*Wolves not born into the pack will not have the ability to ever challenge for a higher rank or position. However, their pups will have that right.
Omegas
*A wolf may be placed in the Omega rank if he/she fails to comply with Alpha's rules.
*A wolf that receives a detrimental injury in battle or during a hunt that results in a crippling effect may also be given this rank as they are no longer useful. (Exceptions may apply in this area.)
*Wolves with illness, mental or physical may be demoted to Omega.
*Acts of betrayal may lead to Omega, if lucky. Expellation is more common in those cases.
*Omega wolves;
-eat last
-are not allowed to accompany on hunts.
-may or may not be allowed to have a mate or breed.
-occupy dens apart from the rest of the pack.
-are almost never are allowed to return to a commendable rank among the pack.
Alpha Pair Offspring
*The eldest male born to the Alpha and Alphaess is first in line to inherit the responsibilities of the pack. However, if the male is not fit to rule or cannot hold the position, it may pass to any younger siblings.
*Female pups born to the Alpha and Alphaess may be subject to an arranged mating for life.
*She-wolves born to the Alpha pair are held in the highest regard and unless defiled by themselves, always hold a high position amongst the pack.
Breeding Season
*All members must request permission to recreate.
*Omega wolves and wolves over 10 years of age may not recreate.
*Wolves are required to pair for life, unless circumstances regulate otherwise.
*If a mate dies, the widow or widower is only allowed to mate one more time. Two mates per life span.
*One litter a year per pair.
*Wolves must be three years old before choosing a mate.
*Parent wolves hold the right to create arranged pairings for their pups.

These apply only to the Southern Pack Wolves, led by Mors.
