Northstar Vale Sýzygos

this fits nicely in ex's timeline so hope you don't mind a guest <3

Now that winter would soon draw to a close in just a few weeks, Exousia was starting to feel the settler’s urge more often. She would never settle for just any stretch of land, of course, but there was a feverish sort of desire burning hotter inside her as the days grew longer. She scoured the Sunspires for her throne, setting an eye to every peak, tasting their airs with a flickering tongue.

But before she could decide if any of them suited her, the silvershadow came upon the well-trodden border of a pack in the valley that was hugged on all sides by mountainous terrain.

She paused at their threshold, thoughts churning. When her curiosity and impatience began to clash, she lifted her sleek muzzle and howled, revealing her position and presenting herself as an idle prospect.
