They are known as wolves of peace who fight against the darkness and maintains peace and order.

They will target and capture threats to any species on the island, but with the rise of the new queen, their kind has been questioned by several packs for questionable methods. Aside from their abilities to control light, they are known for being talented healers and soldiers following a more kingdom like structure. Light wolves can manipulate light and generate this from their body as long as they had the time to charge up in sunlight, as they need sunlight to recharge their elemental energy.
Behaviour
Known as wolves of grace and serenity, they are extremely religious towards the gods. They are considered very naive as they will blindly follow orders of their king or queen. They believe the words of their ruler is absolute and will not go against it or question it. Wolves against the kingdom are usually not accepted. While their society is lead by one ruler, some have left this way of living to live on their own terms, however, most are proud to be under the grace of their ruler. They do welcome strangers with tales of their Goddess and ruler. Light wolves value their status and appearance and will at all times ensure that their pelt remains clean. Because of this, they will often bathe in the springs within their habitat. They are only known to fear the ability of Shadow wolves at night. Aside from that there isn’t much they fear. They will only hunt in full daylight. Females are more fierce compared to males.

Most Light wolves live in a “kingdom” like fashion where they obey a King or Queen. They have lived this way for generations, as their clans have several royal blood lines. Only wolves of the oldest royal bloodline are allowed to rule unless their line dies out. The Tanlin falls and forest is completely controlled by one ruler of this old bloodline. The ruler is treated nearly as a God(dess), as wolves will follow them blindly. Within their society, regular pack members only focus on merchant ranks, while soldiers are around all the time to guard and protect. Pack members are expected to hunt and provide food to the pack and the soldiers. Light wolves are rarely seen alone, as in group they can call upon the sun to recharge elemental energy, only so if it's clouded, meaning they can't call for daytime. For any changes within the kingdom there is a sort of council present, meaning that even the current ruler cannot simply overthrow previous established rules or expectations. Light wolves, even those of the kingdom are not known to look down on other species, hybrids etc. There is however an expectation held by the council that those of the royal bloodline must have descendants. Because of this same sex pairings are not accepted for this bloodline unless they throw away their royal status. This can be done to avoid established rules. However this also means none of the possible offspring would ever gain rights to the title of king or queen, and that those who throw away their title cannot gain it back.
More recent changes in behavior too is questioned by outsiders. Ever since the rise of the new queen, it is clear that females are generally ranked higher. Even when it comes to soldiers, more females practice this rank than males. However males are not treated poorly, as the queen made it a clear point that this is only due to the more fierce nature of females. Meaning many males are left to care for tasks within the pack.

DietLight wolves generally consume meat. Their main diet exists out of species of deer that can be found around Tanlin Falls and the Tanlin Woods. Aside from that, they also hunt for Giant beavers within their main habitat. They never hunt on predatory birds other than wolf birds, due to their respect for their Goddess who appears half bird and dragon. They normally do not consume fruits, but they do occasionally eat holy grapes but only during celebrations as they can become intoxicated from it.
ReproductionAfter a bonding process, the light Wolves will usually mate for life. It’s common within the larger society that only high ranks can breed with one another. This means that there is an expectation for high ranking wolves to find a high ranking partner. Royal blood lines in this case are expected to find a partner of another royal blood line. They are sexually mature around the age of 18. Wolves do require the right to breed by their royal leaders. This is mostly inside of the main society, as it is done to to ensure all mouths can be fed, but also to avoid potential wolves to have offspring due to medical issues. Males and females are known for their aerial light dance in the air when confirming their bonding with one another. Males are also known to spend more time than usual to perfect the look of their pelt in order to stand out

for a female. After mating, females will have a gestation period of 60 to 75 days before giving birth. Depending on ranks, soldiers will provide with food for the families rather than the parent. Unless they are not part of the society of the Tanlin Clans, then caring can be different. Pups are born blind and deaf, and gain sight and hearing after a week. Their ears remain floppy for only two weeks.
- Royal pups are always presented with the highest quality of food on a daily basis.
Physical Appearance
Light wolves have a light yellow and nearly pure white coat. Both genders have a reversed color palette, as the males have a main pelt that yellows and the females have the white pelt. Their fur has loose strands of long fur, as their tail has a somewhat bird-like appearance to it. Their eyes are quite special as the pupil itself is pure white. Their markings are somewhat alike no matter the gender. Their territory is filled of soft and light colors of both white and yellow, which allows them to blend in perfectly. Outside of it they stand out as it comes of as intimidating to other species. Their forehead is more flat in comparison to other species. Wolves of the royal bloodline can carry royal traits that are only visible on females. These individuals with visual traits are admired greatly.
- Male’s colors are inverted to that of females, where their main pelt is yellow and markings are white. They have shorter tails and shorter cheek fur compared to the opposite gender. Their markings are mostly similar with only minor differences.
- Females are inverted to males, where their main pelt is white while they have yellow markings. Their tails and cheek fur are much longer than males. Their markings also differ slightly to that of males. Only females can inherit visible royal traits.
Both males and females have a standard appearance of their light wings (example can be found at powers and abilities). When symbolized or mutated, their wings can take on a different shape. The standard shape is referred to as “Angelic wings”. Wings are only capable of very small markings when symbolized or mutated. Their wings are always transparent (50%) with the exception to royal blood. Available wings: swan, hawk, eagle, owl, seagull, falcon, parrot. Royal traits can only be inherited by royal bloodlines and are only visible on the female gender. Their wings have a total of 4 additional large feathers that generate a huge amount of energy, and their tails becomes larger and seems more layered. Those with royal blood, depending on their energy, can even fully light up their wings to the point where they are no longer transparent.

Powers and Abilities
Common moves
Abilities
Mythical abilities
- Sun flare: This is a common move which is used to blind opponents. The intensity of the light will temporary blind their opponents for several seconds. They do this by releasing a quick but powerful wave of light energy from their bodies. It does require several minutes to use it again.
- Light beam: Starting with a common "energy ball", they can overcharge this move so that on release it becomes a light beam.
- Light ray: This move requires sunlight as they will send out a powerful ray of light directly from the skies upon their target.
- Light manipulation: This allows them to manipulate light into medium sized weapons. The longer the light item is present the faster their elemental energy drains. So these are often used for direct situations, but not ongoing in battle.
- Judgement: This move is considered their strongest and is rather difficult to master. If mastered even without the presence of the sun powerful beams of light will ascend towards the battle field. Because of how difficult the move is, the one using it will generally have a hard time aiming.
Abilities
- Light wings: During the middle of the day, when the sun reaches it's highest point, wolves will be able to generate light wings for up to an hour. Most wolves can only learn this around the age of 10-12, but many light wolves don't always succeed in mastering it. This is because it requires a huge amount of skill. During this time they have increased stats. As a downside, during the middle of the night they will completely lose the capability to use their element for up to an hour. These light wings will allow them to fly no matter their size or weight. While their increase in stats is not as high in comparison to shadow wolves, the rate at which light wolves can master it is much higher.
- Light storage: Compared to other species light wolves stand apart when it comes to elemental energy. This is because they require sunlight to recharge while other species simply have to rest to gain their elemental energy back passively. While this has it's downsides it equally came with a function that is beneficial to this species. As their elemental energy drains two times slower in comparison to other species. This means that they can generally use their element a lot more without worrying. Despite this ability, they are still not capable of using their elemental at midnight.
- Healing wonder: With this ability they are capable of healing other wolves with their own aura., equally they heal very well on their own.
- Sun calling: This ability requires team work as light wolves will howl together in a specific frequency to clear the skies and allow the sun to shine clear. Howls can be heard frequently coming from Tanlin Falls, as it is believed this locations has never experienced a day without sunlight. A light wolf cannot do this alone, but rumors say that the wolf blessed by the light dragon is capable of doing this alone.
- Light guard: This ability allows light wolves to fight in direct sunlight, or even face the sun without being blinded.
- Demonic repel: Delvihen wolves believes that there is both a hell and heaven otherwise known as "Relaytra" and "Sylglia". Some demons do roam Delv Ihoo, and this is where light wolves come in handy. Light wolves seem to repel demons due to their element and the energy set demons can sense. Though it depends heavily on how strong the demon is, equally how strong the light wolf is. Even so, some wolves do not believe in demons as most wolves will never encounter one in their life.
Mythical abilities
- Heaven's gate: This mythical ability is said to be the only one that is completely passive. Not many individuals ever succeeded in mastering this, as it requires a lot of faith in their dragon Goddess Ashaiyo and elemental skill. The wolf in question needs to be capable of finding inner peace. When mastered they can go into a trance like state or even transfer this state towards another wolf and visit Heaven's gate. At heaven's gate the wolf could make a request to see a loved one that has passed. The realm of Sylglia(heaven) is believed to be guarded by a prehistoric dragon, this very dragon will decide if the wolf gets to see their loved one.
HabitatLight wolves are well spread out over Delv Ihoo. Because the Tanlin clans focus on order over the whole island, they have small base camps located all over the land. Generally though, they are most commonly seen around the Tanlin falls and woods as it is their origins, but they live on several other locations as well. No matter if they are part of the society, they aren’t picky to where they live. They generally avoid areas where the sun isn’t always present such as the Ice lands or deep woods, the volcanic area is also usually avoided. Despite the desert being sunny all the time, they do not live there as they have a fondness for rivers to clean their fur, and the temperature can be to hot for them.

Dragon Goddess Ashaiyo
Their Dragon Goddess is known as Ashaiyo. She is a proud and serene dragon with lots of grace. It is believed that unlike the other dragons, she favored a bloodline to determine who she would grant her blessings to. Because of this, the royal bloodlines have always been treasured above the rest as they are aware that their Goddess will only bless such an individual. It is believed that she is connected to the ruler of the realm of heaven(Sylglia). She would grace her light children with her presence by appearing once in a while in the main city of the light wolves. There she would await gifts of food and social interaction. It’s been years however since she showed herself to the light wolves.
