About The Family
The Fujiwara Clan are an ancient Imperial family of Japanese-speaking wolves who all trace a common ancestor back to Ryu – the clan’s founding Emperor who’s said to have been the vessel of Ryūjin - god of the sea. The clan was primarily known for their Ecological Intelligence, Storytelling, and general Pacifism. They held great knowledge of the plants and animals that surrounded their homeland and a healthy curiosity for those that weren't.
The clan sought to take great care of the gardens and wisteria that decorated their lands, which was the reason as to why the territory was often surrounded by flourishing plant life and towering trees. They believed the forests of wisteria held the souls of those who have passed on, and regularly tended to them as a way of honoring the dead.
It appears to be a genetically dominant gene in the family to have monochromatic coloring like greys, blacks and whites. Although those within the bloodline can most certainly vary from this.

Core Values
I. Union; our differences are bound to draw us apart on our worst days, but as a pack against a world driven to tear us apart, we can only find strength as one.
II. Peace; as wolves, our instincts to draw blood before we think are undeniably strong, but true strength is only ever found in self control. We must not give in to needless violence and try to solve our problems with a level head and a light heart.
III. Prosperity; before all else, we must have pride and trust in the lands we call our home and the wolves we call our family. To keep the ways of the dynasty in your heart; whether you call it your home, or if you decide it is not. That is the only way the Dynasty will prosper.

Laws of The Land
............
I. “Everyone carries an obligation.”
The dynasty is a community of wolves who rely on one another. Everyone must play their part and put in work during times of need, for that is the only way the dynasty will thrive.
II. “Take pride in your earned status, but do not abuse it.”
No one is to use their rank as a means to belittle and discriminate against those within the dynasty.
III. “Approach with neutrality, unless proven otherwise.”
Strangers appearing at the border are to be approached with respect, yet suspicion.
IV. “Do not draw the blood of thy neighbor.”
Members of the pack are to only draw blood towards the enemy. Murder and violence against a member of the dynasty, no matter their rank, is strictly forbidden.
V. “The word of the crown is final.”
The Emperor and Empress’s word is law. Members are free to express questions or concerns during pack meetings, but blatant disrespect and undermining of authority will be met with punishment.
VI. “Authority exists to serve, not rule.”
While the word of leadership is law, corruption of leadership is just as bad as tyranny, as it puts the citizens of the dynasty in grave danger. Those of higher rankings are expected to follow the law like everyone else.
VII. “Worse than violence”
Rape, Sexual assault, forced marraige, or anything in relation to it is considered just as grave a crime as murder. Those who commit such face grave punishment.
VIII. “Respect the land which you tread on.”
The overharvesting, wastefulness or destruction of resources will not be tolerated, as the land beneath us is sacred and should be treated as such.
IX. “Protect the beginning and end of a life.”
Expecting mothers, children, and the elderly represent the beginning and ending of life; they are the most vulnerable of the clan, and therefore are to be protected and treated with respect and dignity at all costs
X. “Blessing of the crowned.”
To ensure all resources remain in order within the dynasty, those who wish to conceive children are to receive the blessing of the monarchy first.
