The stars are bright tonight.
A good sign. But what of the night when the sky is starless and overcast? Simple: your fate may be at jeopardy.
The wolves of Doutaini have been reading the stars for centuries. Stargazers were developed at the start of their species. In fact, it is the origin of their creation, the very essence of their life.
Each wolf is appointed a star from birth, regardless of their parents beliefs. It is difficult to say how one keeps track of their star there are, after all, trillions of them in the night sky; nearly every one is equally sized and brilliant. Your star is rumoured to sparkle with the most intensity. Yours, and the gods.
Not everyone is a believer in this rather loose religion. A handful of them decide to be skeptics, finding too many flaws in the spiritual way of life. Disbelief is not persecuted at the present time as it was eons before. Despite the differences in faith, the wolves that inhabit Doutaini are all somehow connected to the stars. They are brought together in gatherings to worship and celebrate how the heavens drive their destiny for another prosperous year.
The most common ritual of these would be the Stardust Festival. The first official one was held when the wolves were at their highest point of flourishing: Kaiyo, the goddess of forgiveness, vitality and love, wanted to award their ability to survive so well with a gift that would actually make living easier. So she sought out the strongest and most virtuous of the packs and told him to go to the circle of willows and there he would find the truth.
This was how the use of elements started. Little did Kaiyo know, being such the good-willed goddess that she was, she overlooked the negative aspects of elements. When the wolf, his name unknown and lost after years of passed-down legends, went to the willows called Doutaini Together he found necklaces made from the very stardust that had fallen from a previous meteor shower hidden within a hollow willow stump. Each one glowed as a different colour which represented a separate power. Red for fire, green for earth, blue for water, and so on. He returned to his friends and they picked their poison, so to speak, as easily as choosing a colour would be.
Fire, water, earth, ice, wind, and storm. After a while, Hoshiko, the spirit goddess, decided that her elements wielders were the most special of them all, and therefore granted them the uttermost blessing of all.
Whenever a wolf dies, their star dies with them. It disappears from the nocturnal sky, winking out of existence at the blink of an eye.

spare me the pain of another elemental site.
Welcome back to Doutaini, an original wolf roleplay site that has been around for quite some time now. Welcome back to a land of mystery and wonder, where wolves here are not born with their elements, but rather must gain them through hard work and dedication in the form of power-wielding necklaces.
Welcome back to a world that is ruled by the unseen gods and goddesses, and by the stars that glare mercilessly down upon the earth, where the wolves believe that their lives are controlled by these twinkling masses of fire.
Doutaini has always been a land of prosperity, a place to turn over a new leaf when one's life has gone astray. But at the same time, Doutaini is no paradise, and you will be sure to face the same trials of life here as anywhere else.
Fire. Water. Earth. Ice. Wind. Storm. These were the elements the wolves of Doutaini had manipulated for generations. Only now, unexpectedly, a new and more bizarre element has found its way into the group- Enigma. The element of illusion. Some argue that it should not even be considered an element at all, due to the fact that the gods did not bless the wolves of Doutaini with its necklace, and it has no characteristics of controlling an element. Nevertheless, it is the only category it belongs in.
As well as the arrival of a new element and the forming of a new pack, a second pack has made its presence known within Doutaini- a pack without an element, compiled of wolves who detest the abuse of elemental powers, and dislike using the god's powers to 'cheat' their way into dominance. The Rebel Pack. These wolves are tough, and extremely militaristic, focusing on building their natural strengths rather than skills in using elements. No weaklings are accepted into this prideful pack, and the group is nearly always on edge with the rest of the elemental packs.
And admidst all of this earthly confusion, the gods observe their creations from their heavenly pedastal, the stars in the sky twinkle as they always have, and life goes on as usual for the inhabitants of Doutaini.
What new joys, new tragedies, new epic trials will tomorrow bring for them? You'll just have to find out for yourself.
