It's been another prosperous year in the Thistle Kingdom. The iron-fisted rule of the current Boss, Salvia Eternity, continues to guide Salsola into further wealth. There has been some quiet trouble brewing in the upper ranks, with mischievous collaborations between the Crone, Siv Helsi, and the Ambassador, Isabella Heiwa, who hope to garner more power for themselves by pulling out a more 'gentle' and 'maternal' side to their warrior queen.
New enemies rose from neighboring settlements, leading Salsola to send its spies out to various packs. Most of these incidents went undetected, though Salsola certainly reinforced it's response to Casa di Cavalieri's own infiltration in more violent manners. The return of the son of the Family's previous king has heralded some increasing drama in the pack, along with plenty of new and old faces coming home to the land of thorns.
Although continuing its love of secrecy, Salsola has openly expanded its borders northward, making the territory stretch closer to the shadow of the great Halcyon range. Hopefully, this new space will be put to good use, with newcomers abound and plans for a pack bloomery underway!
Let's go for a super-awesome 2013!

Nobody was really surprised when it happened, not really, not on the subconscious level where savage things grow
