Sorry for the delay on this. Private for all Nereides folk. I'm going to do this thread in rounds, but you can start discovery threads of your own at this point. Please track any landmarks in this thread: http://wolf-rpg.com/showthread.php?tid=4260 and I'll sketch out a location/description of the Sound when I get home tonight.

Reference of what they're currently seeing...
They had spent the last several days traveling north, exploring the territories that would no doubt become familiar to them as neutral territories once they had settled along the coast. Junior had proven to be invaluable, introducing them to the history of the lands (at least, what she know of them) and their various secrets that only locals would know of. Still, Aktaie had pressed on — she had not bothered to introduce herself to any nearby packs beyond the one Junior had absconded from. With any luck, she and the Nereides would settle far from their reaches; they would make their claim and begin to thrive, and then she would seek out relations with the other packs of the area. Or perhaps not even then.
Frustration overwhelmed her upon reaching the coast. It was good to be near the Mother once more, but there was no singing in her blood of home; there was no sign of what part of this oceanscape would become their claim. She and the others pressed on, scouting feasible territories to make their own.
The moon hung in the night, Aktaiê's favorite time to seek out answers. In the embrace of both Mothers, she was comforted and knew that it would only be a matter of time before they answered her silent prayers. She had slipped away, alone; a behavior not uncommon for priestesses, seeking the voice of the Mothers without interference. Her pawsteps left imprints in the sand, washed swiftly away by the tide. Minutes passed as she diverged from the group, and she was suddenly overtaken by an inexplicable pull.
As she drew further north, she could see a strip of land across the sea; distant, but not incredibly so. It seemed to come closer as she moved, and her pace quickened. If she was not mistaken, it would join with the land she currently stood on... perhaps where the two lands met was where she would find their destiny. It wasn't long before she was running, greeting the point where the lands met with a tail like a banner.
When she stopped, she stood on a cliffside; beach spanning between the cliff she stood upon and the bluffs that connected to it and ran the opposing direction. What was more telling, however, was the eerie blue glow of the tide lapping that lower shore.
In that moment she knew, and Aktaiê lifted her head to call for her acolytes.
