SYMBOLS
The Red-crowned crane; a bird native, yet rare, in Izumi's homeland. A delicate creature that symbolizes fortune and longevity. The Wisteria; trees that surrounded the lands Izumi grew up in. Grand and powerful in their presence, they symbolize immortality -- and finally, the Lotus; a fragrant water flower that brings tranquility to the mind. In their beauty, growing in even the murkiest of waters, they symbolize the idea of self-regeneration and rebirth.
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. Pride; 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.

Academies
For those who wish to learn something new or hone their current knowledge into something far greater, the dynasty offers different academy branches divided into three categories for a given set of skills that represent the balances of the spirit. Each category is taught among its academy members. These ranks are unofficial as they do not affect your standing in the pack and anyone is allowed to join.
