THE KINSHIP CIRCLE
&& introduction
The forrest provides you with shelter from the harsh climate, granting you with an opportunity to rest, only for a moment without worrying about the current ongoing weather conditions. Your tired paws have led you here, to the place you’ve heard rumors of being so welcoming to joiners. A place for the unwanted, the wounded, the fallen, the criminals. Being in this forrest gives you a sense of comfort. One that makes you feel at home. A sense of comfort and security you haven’t felt in a long time.
The Kinship Circle, once a peaceful group, has begun to stary away from their “peaceful” approach, which has been another thing you’ve heard from the rumor mill. It’s something that draws you in, as you hope to learn the reasons behind all these changes. One that makes you continue to feel welcomed and at home, despite the group no longer being peaceful. You glance up with the sound of approaching pawsteps which soon come into view. You know that the choice is yours to make, and now. Do you stay, and join this group, or do you run, fleeing the Kinship Circle and this homey feeling forever?
&& ranks and titles
Archdruid: The leader of the kinship circle. His/her word is law, and is to be obeyed at all times. This is the highest ranking member of the clan, and is to be respected as such. Usually there are two archdruids that lead side by side, however, there may be times when there is a solitary leader.

&& territory and landmarks
A comfortable southwestern forest situated by the mountains. Because of the cover, harsh weather hardly ever makes its way into the old expanse of trees.
The Mountains — The mountains make up part of the clan’s territory, while also protecting one side of their home from potential attacks. The mountains have a lake at part of its base, providing the clan with a source of drinking water, while also acting as a place to swim during the winter months. The mountains are often “explored” or used as a traininf location when trianing the younger members of the clan.
The Forest — The forest takes upa vast majority of the territory, with part being more dense than the other portion. The portion of the territory that is most dense gives off eerie vibes which often cause hallucinations, and feelings of helplessness to name a few. It has been noted as unsafe to visit in the hours after sunset, or to travel through alone. The less dense section of the forest is where the camp, river, and various other landmarks are located. This part of the forrest is where members spend the majority of their time.

The Kinship Circle has resided in Homewood for as long as one can remember. The group was founded by a Cevursi named Atrius Salvum, and was a Monarchy for countless generations of Salvum after him. With "Salvum" meaning "safe" the Circle stayed true, and have a long reputation for being apeaceful, warm home for those in need.
At the end of Revos Salvum's reign, he did something no ruler had done in the past. He named his youngest daughter, Eiva Salvum, his heir. Upon Revos' death, much of the Salvum's abandoned the circle, feeling betrayed. Eiva took up the position as ruler and enacted a great change to the Circle. She disbanded the Monarchy and put in place her own ranks. She then offered the surname "Salvum" to any member of the Circle who wished to have it, signifying that everyone in the Circle is to be treated as family.
After the disaperance of Eiva, Blackroses took over the clan with permission of the only member left of the clan, Kheleesos. She is the current ruler of the clan, and is doing her best to restore the clan to it’s former glory.
