So you want to have a litter? This is the place to check out the breeding rules before you get frisky.
i. members below Tier V of the Central Class cannot have pups.
ii. members at or above Tier V of the Central Class can have pups inside or outside of the pack. It is up to the parents (IC and OOC) where the pups go, as well as the players themselves if given a choice. RD is not responsible for yer kiddos if they are not actual members of the pack.
iii. if a member below Tier V of the Central Class is found to be pregnant or has gotten someone pregnant, they will be punished accordingly. This can range from the father receiving a fair beating (this aspect is purely IC and is not intended to hurt or offend the player OOC), or the mother having her pups taken upon birth. These traditions are in place to be realistic as far as hierarchy goes and punishment may vary depending on the Monarchys' decision. If the pups are to be taken from the mother they will usually not be killed or hurt. Instead a surrogate mother within the pack will take them as her own, or the birth mother will have limited access to her pups.
iv. births will not be supervised by a healer unless there are complications.
v. illegitimate offspring of Monarchy members only qualify for succession if the parent(s) deem them worthy. sometimes the parents will not even acknowledge them as their own.
vi. litter size can range from 1-10 pups, and parents are only allowed to breed twice an OOC year, or every six months.
vii. parents can have as many litters as they want during their lifetime but don't go crazy, ok?
Regarding Incestuous Relationships
Incest between any two wolves is not allowed. I am aware that in the old days, royal families would often have children with their cousins in order to keep the line pure/ensure political stability, but it's nasty, and this is one custom we will not emulate. Couples/parents found to be any degree related will be punished accordingly.
