Sunshadow Border

Pack Border
Along the northeastern scent line, there is a steep decline into a perilous mountain pass that overlooks the ⁠Frozen Divide, a massive, desolate frozen wasteland split by a broad, icy river. On the other side of the border, in the distance, Sunshadow Sentinels can see the white expanse that is the frozen tundra, home to their rival pack, the Tundra Frostfangs.
The southern scent line falls away into rolling grasslands bordered by distant misty mountains. No wolf knows the lands to the south, but sometimes the Sunshadow Sentinels will find a stray rogue along the border.
The western scent line borders the ⁠Whispering Woods, which is the Wolfless Land that divides the Sentinels and their neighboring pack, the Timberwood Watchers. In recent times, the Watchers have pushed their scents into the Whispering Woods and closer to the Sunshadow Sentinels' border.
