Current Season
The Kingdom has all four seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Spring is the season for renewing and birth, rain is common and flowers are blooming everywhere. The sun is starting to appear more often and ice from Winter is melting quicker by the day. Warm, rainy weather is the most common in this season. All animals are giving birth in spring, newborn fawns are easy to kill, but hard to find, grizzly bears will protect their cubs fiercely, and will kill a wolf that gets too close.
Pregnant wolves are giving birth now, and the entire pack has to help raise them. Most of the time the pack is relaxing in the sun, full from easy kills.
Summer is when the temperature starts to climb rapidly, and the glimmer from the Spring flowers is gone and they are starting to die. It rarely rains during the summer, so taking a dip in Lake Icenic or standing in the mist cast off by The Waterfall of Orilena is a good way to cool down. The deer fawns that have survived the pack are wiser and faster. So extra work is nesassary to catch them. Trout are also easier to catch as well, making an easy protein-filled meal.
The pack is still invested in taking care of the new pups, but they are larger and need less care then they did back in spring. Like in spring, the pack is usually relaxing in the shade or swimming in a small stream.
Autumn is the time for all of the animals to get in gear, the food starts to slowly disappear, and the trees start to turn beautiful shades of red and yellow. But the Evergreen trees remain green, leaving a contrast that can hurt anyones eyes. It starts to get colder during the day, and rain becomes a normal thing during this season, it may even snow towards the end of autumn. Grizzly bears are eating as much as they can stomach to get ready for hibernation, taking any carcass from the pack they can, and are very dangerous. Deer still remain in the kingdom.
Wolves now have to start really working for their meals, fights between them and bears are becoming more common and dangerous. The pack is usually defending their kills most of the time, but seeing them play-fight and bond is not uncommon.
When winter arrives everything is covered in deep, white snow. The temperature drops more every day, and the freezing wind chills to the bone. This is when wolves are in their element, running through the snow is a breeze for them and it is easy to catch a deer. Bears are in hibernetion, so the only think to worry about is foxes trying to steal scraps, but usually the pack lets them have some anyway.
Wolves don't have to worry about getting cold, their thick fur keeps them warm. The years pups are almost a year old, and can start hunting with the pack now. So the pack has to teach them how to hunt properly, which invests most of their time. This is also the time for wolves to mate, so they are more active and small fights can break out.
