​
IC Info
Somnus has the oldest living bloodline on TPR. Through its age, it has seen a lot of death, and has maintained an open-minded lifestyle with traditional hierarchical and family values to get through times of tragedy. Pack veterans and members of the original bloodline are highly respected along with the superiors, and subordinates are expected to show and earn this same respect. Somnus leaders have historically been very compassionate and understanding, though traditional in their leadership styles. It is fairly easy for a subordinate to climb the ranks if they show passion and love for their family. Despite a history of invasion, Somnus continues to be faithful and welcoming to those in need and even allows its wolves to explore outside of the outskirts.
​
Who should join
Characters' whose values include freedom, helping others, and family, who can quickly adapt to and cope with change, will thrive in Somnus. Pack wolves are free to explore rogue territories as long as they remain loyal to their Somnus family. In exchange for that personal freedom, wolves are expected to put their family above everything else and share resources to help those in need.
