2014 Yearbook

A 'Souls coming of age

2014 was a fantastic year for 'Souls! The board turned THIRTEEN this year, meaning the youngest members allowed to join the board are now younger than the board itself! Crazy, right? Our community's continued to grow as new members join, old members return, and everyone gets to know each other and become more awesome. We've hit records for active members this year, had a number of packs disband only to have new packs start in their place. 2015 is sure to bring more amazing adventures. Who knows, maybe we'll even see a twelfth pack form??

Major IC Events

Major OOC Events

Several pack leaders meet together in the south for the first time, setting aside differences to discuss recent events. The absence of some pack leaders is either intentional or seen as a slight.
Cour des Miracles and Inferni have short-lived tensions, while AniWaya makes peace with its enemy, Anathema, with an alliance. Casa di Cavalieri and New Dawn, despite their distance, also form an alliance through the mateship of two of their members.
Sangi'lak disbands early in the year; after a short while, Krokar and Sapient form. Late in the year, Cercatori d'Arte disbands and many of its members go on to form Midnight Shores.
Many packs had events and happenings that are additionally detailed on their individual yearbook pages.
