High in the cradle of the Ambersap Mountains, where wildflowers climb the slopes and the Sweetwater River splits the valley in two, lies Wildhoney Hollow—a town divided between memory and progress. To the west, Old Hollow clings to its roots, its cobblestone lanes lined with old brick cottages and heart alive with tradition, guided by those who honor the wolf within as a guardian. To the east, New Hollow gleams with new paint and promise—coffee shops, craft markets, and tourism blooming alongside the belief that the wolf within is a companion, not a keeper. Between them arches the Sweetwater Bridge, spanning blue water and centuries of rivalry.

The people of Wildhoney Hollow live by their Circles, bound by scent, craft, and instinct within an Alpha/Beta/Omega structure. Every resident carries a wolf within that shapes how they live, love, and belong. Alphas smell of cedar and musk, driven by strength and dominance; Omegas of honey and clover, guided by emotion and empathy; and Betas of rain and orchids, steady and balanced. Though no one shifts anymore, instinct remains—heightened senses, emotional bonds, and fated ties that can’t be denied. Alphas fall into possessive ruts, Omegas into irresistible heats, and bonds are marked by scent and bite alike.

The Hollow is ruled by two rival packs: the traditional Ivyclaws of Old Hollow and the ambitious Honeyfangs of New Hollow. Each Circle swears allegiance to one side:

• The Gardeners’ Circle (Ivyclaws) – Healers, herbalists, and beekeepers tending the Hollow’s spirit.

• The Timberline Circle (Ivyclaws) – Woodworkers and wardens who protect the mountains.

• The Ashveil Circle (Ivyclaws) – Miners and stonecutters, the backbone of the west.

• The Stitchers’ Circle (Ivyclaws) – Seamstresses preserving family craft and legacy.

• The Hearth Circle (Ivyclaws) – Bakers and innkeepers keeping Old Hollow’s heart warm while the younger generation starts to spill into New Hollow as hospitality needs grow with the increase in tourism, creating rifts.

• The Riverhands (Neutral) – Ferrymen, fishermen and traders bridging both sides. The Forgewrights (Honeyfangs) – Smiths and innovators forging the future.

• The Glassers’ Circle (Honeyfangs) – Artists and fashion-forward crafters who bring new influence into the Hollow.

• The Merchants’ Circle (Honeyfangs) – Vendors, restaurateurs, café owners thriving on growth.

• The Scholars’ Circle (Honeyfangs) – Scientists, medical professionals and teachers. Beyond them wander

• The Driftfolk, unaffiliated and restless, rumored to belong to a lawless pack that gathers in the old quarry.

Now, as the Ivyclaws and Honeyfangs battle for control of Wildhoney Hollow through the upcoming mayoral race, the future of the mountain town hangs in the balance—caught between legacy and evolution, instinct and change.
