Values

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.

Laws of the Empire

— The Einvalds’ word is absolute law, to disobey them is to risk loss of limb, or even death

— Pets are the sole responsibility of their owner/s and are expected to obey every command; As such, Pet Owners have the ability to disallow all others except The Einvald from using and/or abusing their Pet/s

— Taka, unless otherwise claimed, are at the discretion and whim of everyone above them.

— Respect your fellow clansmen, to disrespect or turn on your comrades is to dishonor the Gods.

— Respect Nature; To take more than what you need or destroy needlessly is to dishonor the Gods.

— All Allies are to be treated as Kin, and are welcome within the borders without punishment at any time.

— Trespassers are to be captured and brought before the Einvald for judgement, where they will decide the fate of the offending party - usually enslavement or, in more severe cases, put to The Hunt.

Events and Celebrations

The Hunt:

— “The Hunt” is almost always an impromptu Event - A trespassing wolf, or any other perceived threat, is told to run for the borders as “Prey” - every member of the empire that is able (or 6+ months of age) will then commence in hunting them down, with either the intent to throw them into The Pit for enslavement, or, when particularly bloodthirsty - outright kill them. Kills will always result in the consumption of the Prey.
