Borne from the merging of Hildibrandr and The Saints; Jakten is a primal, combat-focused empire with notable Norse mysticism and beliefs in the Old Gods. Here, all skillsets are honored, but fighting, spirituality, and bloodshed remain at the core. Only the boldest creatures might survive life here.
Climbing The Hierarchy
In Character (IC) progression is the only way to gain power/status within Jakten
This is done to encourage bonds between pack members via threading together! It is also encouraged for any individuals to hold the status of a Tier 3 rank before attempting to hold a Tier 2 or 1 rank.

Breeding
Only those that have gained the Einvalds' acceptance can breed with the intent to give birth, as the goal is to ensure strong linages within the pack. If a pair of wolves wishes to breed, or if a single wolf wishes to gain the favor of the imperial family, they must meet with the Einvald and request their permission. Once given, the permission to breed is given for life unless otherwise agreed upon. However, at any time, the Einvald can revoke this privilege as they see fit.
