Note: Hello my fellow kennels. I want to apologize for
such a long leave of absence and poofing. The past few months
have been very difficult for me. However after a job change and
some other personal issues solved I am back to doing my regular
mod replies. Thank you all for being supportive and understanding.
I look forward to seeing your kennels grow. <3

The Ivory Kingdom is a very tight-knit community resembling the hierarchy of ancient Europe. The dogs of Ivory, as the they call themselves, have long lived on a rugged peninsula located somewhere in Scotland, fishing in the calm tide pools next to rough sea, and hunting in its rocky reaches.

The dogs of Ivory are slow to anger, preferring to talk it over and find a compromise that both can agree on. They are scholars, always learning, always mastering the unknown.

The King and Queen are the ultimate ruler of the land, with the Queen having the higher authority. Offspring of these rulers are the prince and princes of the land, destined to one day rule their kingdom. When the eldest female comes of age and is offered a mate they become the Queen-In-Waiting. Queens-In-Waiting are the first in line for the throne and will eventually become the Queen themselves.
The eldest female is almost always promised to a dog of another kennel to strengthen political ties. When this happens the male, now King, travels to the isle to rule by the Queens side, and food, medicine, or a male heir might be given in return for this great sacrifice.
Princes and Princesses of the royal bloodline often become mates with those of other kennels and either bring them back to the Ivory Kingdom or join theirs. Mates must be approved by the Queen and the leader of the opposite kennel and must also be witnessed by two dogs of each kennel. Separation between these mates is allowed as long as it will not damage relationships between the kennels.
Heirs are forbidden from participating in an unauthorized relationship, especially if it results in pups. The result of these unions will be labeled illegitimate but will be counted as an heir if recognized by the queen.
----------
Outside of the royal family the hierarchy is much different, each dog has a specific role in their coteries, which are specialized groups of 4-6 dogs who have trained together since pup hood and work together seamlessly. Each dog is specially trained for a certain position in the group, of which there are five. These are: Tactician, Scout (Can be 2), Medic, and Warrior (Can be 2). All pups and dogs that enter the kennel unprepared go through this rigorous training that prepares them for their coteries, even after that extensive testing is done to make sure a dog is the perfect fit for the coterie
When pups are 6 moons old they are tested for certain aptitudes, be that leading, stealth, fighting, or even healing. All pups have their special role to fill.
All Trainees are trained in the basic skills of hunting, fighting, and stealth in order to fend for themselves if need be.
Tacticians are the brains of the group, creating strategies and directing the coterie to maximize their strengths. These dogs are selected from pup hood by their strong ability to lead, along with being able to strategize in stressful situations. A Tactician needs to be trustworthy, confident, and benevolent. Only a few cases of sour Tacticians have ever appeared due to the careful consideration of the trainers.
Dogs that are small, agile, light-footed are often Scouts due to the need of stealth and rapid movement through the underbrush in order to scout the enemy or prey's movements. These Scouts will proceed the coterie in finding suitable paths and prey, reporting back with the suggested movements.
Medics are specially trained to heal on the go and to recognize herbs to bring back to the general healer. They frequently wear packs on their backs fashioned out of leaves and vines to carry the needed medicinal supplies where ever they go. Medics are chosen for their compassion in addition to a capacity to remember herbs and healing. They are often smaller than dogs of other positions because they are not needed to help fight or hunt and often hang back, watching for injuries, while the rest of the coterie attacks an enemy.
Warriors make up the main bulk of the coterie, where they mostly do the fighting and hunting. They are frequently dogs that don't fit well in other positions or are naturally gifted in fighting. This position includes pups that are more the rough and tumble type or always getting into fights, though thankfully their defiant attitude usually plays out by the time they're initiated into a coterie.
Dogs that don’t fit into any position, including warriors, are called Solos. These dogs are often loners and too ill-tempered to be compatible with any other dogs. Solos are sent out on reconnaissance missions where a full coterie would make too much noise, along with carrying out spy missions.

Smaller dogs are totally okay by the way, maybe even essential as they are used as Medics and Scouts![]()
1. The monarchs are not given 9 lives due to an ancient misunderstanding between rulers.
2. Interkennel relationships are encouraged
3. No shenanigans
4. Obey the Royals, if a dog doesn't they will be labeled a traitor and turned from the kennel, along with their coterie being shunned
5. All dogs are created equal, and must be treated as such
I just kinda wanted to start my kennel quickly, so I'll develop more traditions and kinda flesh-out more mechanics during game play.
I've already had Night and W0ah for mods, so may I have Velvet this time?
May this be my Queen?
Look-y here
