The Silvermoon Pack Code, as decreed by the High Alpha, Luna Argentum, dictates the following regarding werewolves within the Silverwood territory:
I. Transformation and Control:
Article 1: All werewolves are expected to maintain control over their transformations. Uncontrolled transformations resulting in harm to others will result in immediate exile from the pack. Repeated instances of near-uncontrolled transformations will lead to a period of mandatory training under the watchful eye of the Pack Elders. This training will focus on breath control, meditation techniques, and the suppression of primal urges.
Article 2: Transformations outside designated areas are strictly forbidden, except in cases of immediate threat to life or limb. Violation of this article will result in a period of community service, repairing damage caused by the transformation or assisting in pack duties.
Article 3: The use of transformative suppressants or enhancers is permitted only with the express written consent of the Alpha or a designated Elder. Unauthorized use will result in a trial before the Pack Council.
II. Hunting and Prey:
Article 4: Hunting is permitted only within designated areas and only for sustenance. The indiscriminate slaughter of animals is strictly forbidden. Werewolves are expected to respect the balance of nature and avoid unnecessary killing. Violation of this article will result in a hunting ban and potential community service.
Article 5: The hunting of sentient beings, including other werewolves, is punishable by death. Exceptions may be made in cases of self-defense or defense of the pack, but such instances must be reviewed and approved by the Pack Council.
III. Pack Loyalty and Conduct:
Article 6: Loyalty to the pack and its Alpha is paramount. Betrayal of the pack will result in immediate exile and potential retribution.
Article 7: All werewolves are expected to uphold the honor and integrity of the Silvermoon Pack. Acts of violence, theft, or deception will be dealt with according to the severity of the offense. Punishments may range from community service to exile.
Article 8: Disputes between pack members must be resolved peacefully through mediation by the Elders. Physical altercations are strictly forbidden and will result in disciplinary action.
IV. Moon Rituals and Ceremonies:
Article 9: Attendance at the monthly Moon Ritual is mandatory for all pack members. Failure to attend without a valid excuse will result in a warning. Repeated absences will lead to disciplinary action.
Article 10: Respect for the ancient traditions and ceremonies of the Silvermoon Pack is expected from all members. Disrespect or mockery of these traditions will be dealt with severely.
V. Enforcement and Appeals:
Article 11: The Pack Council, comprised of the Alpha, Elders, and selected representatives, is responsible for the enforcement of these laws.
Article 12: Werewolves found guilty of violating these laws may appeal the ruling to the High Alpha, Luna Argentum. Her decision is final.
These laws are subject to change at the discretion of the High Alpha and the Pack Council. All werewolves are expected to familiarize themselves with these laws and abide by them. Failure to do so will result in consequences as outlined above.
