"Tonight marks a new dawn for the West Pack. My father, and his fathers built this empire from nothing, and now it is my duty and my greatest honor to make it greater than he ever dreamed. We will rise beyond these walls and claim our place as the strongest Wolf pack in Dorminia."
A surge of applause followed, cheers rising like thunder. Wolves howled their approval, their hearts filled with pride for their pack.
