The Pack Members read the requirements, discussing among themselves if this was the best option.
The Pack couldn't easily disband or split, they were linked by bloodlines as much as loyalty. But they could encourage the Pack Leader to let them live in the woods instead of in town, or try to negotiate living here without joining the Clan if the deal was bad.
However, the New Home were not short on supplies, given their merchant nature.
So, trading with their supply warehouse was a definite win.
After a few minutes, the Elders made a round of the pack members and had each of them pick a coloured stone to put in a bag. There was no explanation given, but nearly everyone picked the white stone, with only a few blue ones removed.
"That settles it, then. By clear majority, we have agreed with the Pack Leader's encouragement to join the Darklight Host, and move the pack to this location under the guardianship of the New Home Merchant Clan." Elder Blackwoods announced.
