RB is a beginner-to-intermediate wolf RPG with a minimum word count of 300. Our theme centers on slavery. We are a friendly, active RP and would love to have you! Look over the site--if you like what you see give us a shot!
look over the history...
As Dachau began to form their strict discipline government and rigid entrance policies, other wolves, who were less interested in rules and policies of high ranking officials, created their own country. They called it Ravensbrück and slowly formed packs, taking small tracts of land and promising to stay together as one nation as long as the country would survive. Soon, wolves from the nearby Sobibor were brought to Ravensbrück and slavery began. New ranks in this wolf society have formed --The Dominor, or master wolf, the Freior, or free-roaming wolf, and the Sklavin, or the slave wolf. They make up a vastly different world than other countries around them. Will you join and be lost in the madness that slavery presents in this world? Or offer a new beginning for previously owned souls? Come on over and join us in RB!

With activity booming and new members joining us, it is only right that we make a few changes to our little family here at Ravensbruck. Territories are now added, and any free roamer or Dominer can post and claim the two available territories. These can only hold three wolves, not including pups, and can be challenged every two weeks. To read more about these lands, click here

With the opening of new territories, the land is thriving. Prey is easy to find and life is good. There is a pack meeting in the Koravelle, Irrsin, and Regnen lands right now. Shard, the previous Alpha of Regnen, has been beaten, losing his land to a new dominor named Erus. Both Dürkell and Groavche are rather quiet at the moment. Phantom, the Einheit Alpha, is currently being challenged by a bold dominor called Absinthe.
Hey, I'm Image and I created RB alonside Kirs as a revival of a previous RP we both were moderators on. I'm a senior from the lovely state of Ohio and I've been role playing for roughly 5 years. I first started with Kirs back on our freewebs site, Warrior Pawz before joining my first real roleplay, a slavery wolf RP called Sobibor. I've hosted a few different sites, most notably Warrior Pawz and Dachau. Some of my characters are from previous sites (such as Sayang and Phrino), and some are completely new (like Kasimira)! I'm always open to rp, so PM me if you'd like to start a thread together!
Name: Kirs
Rank: Administrator
Characters: Hayashi, Kaden, Kabir
Hello, I'm Kirs! I created this forum with Image, whom I have also created other sites with, or helped her as a co-admin. We both started off role-playing on Warriors sites on freewebs, and then sowly graduated to join a forum called Sobibor, a site that contributed to the plot line of Dachau, then Ravensbruck! I make the skins for this site, a lot of coding, and of course, keeping up the site along with Image. Majority of my characters made or will be made are old characters that I've brought from Sobibor, along with a few new ones like Adelina. I'm a highschooler from southern Ohio, and own a horse and many animals. I'm on Ravensbruck frequently, so if you ever want to role-play, or have any questions, don't hesitate to message me!

Sup brah, I'm Ruki, some weird chick from the inner depths of Ohio, around the same area as the two lovely admins. I've been roleplaying on and off since who knows when and my issued characters have just followed me along the way. I do the occasional coding and graphics making, but I'm mostly here to just spread the awesome around. If any of yall people wanna start a thread, ask about my arts, or just long to learn the secrets of my swagg, throw some digital PMs my way. I'll probably answer your claim within 2-5 business days from the postmarked date.
Hey there, I'm Raven! I'm a typical Southerner from Alabama, now living in sunny Florida. I've been roleplaying for about five or six years now, on and off, and I'm always up for a post! If you ever have any questions or need anything, I'm pretty friendly, so don't be shy!

Year 2 || Spring
Spring has finally begun in the lands of Ravensbruck! The grasses are losing the pale colors of winter and snowdrifts are melting steadily as the weather warms up. Icicles are a rarity, the cold temperatures only lingering in the early mornings. There are still a few cold snaps here and there, but for the most part the land is blooming into a fresh green. There are moderate rain storms, soaking the world in a raw layer of verdant colors and new beginnings
CHARACTER OF THE MONTH}
ADALI
Adali is a sweet and shy sklavin, recently bought by the Irrsin Alpha, Tortuga, for his mate Kasimira as a surprise. She's a pretty female but only sees herself in terms of Kasimira's beauty and acceptance. More to come from her for sure! Check out Adali here!
MEMBER OF THE MONTH}
RAVEN

THREAD OF THE MONTH}
TILTING THE HOURGLASS
Get ready for some sparks! In this thread, written by Sphuul and Wolf, the Koravelle Queen and a wandering freior get cozy, making a friendship that seems shaky at best. Torn between her duty as Queen and the wolf who seems to know her better than Stolz even upon first meeting, Elektra attempts to set her priorities straight and make this meeting somehow justified. Cúthail, on the other hand, gets attached to the Queen and tries to reconcile his previous female affairs. Read it here!

Situated in the perfect spot to overlook all of Ravensbrück, this high point is the largest landmass for miles. Surrounded by the Schreien Forest, it is the first peak to be illuminated by the sun's bright rays as dawn sweeps over the land. The formation is an odd-looking piece of Iudex's architecture, molded into the shape of a leaning overhang, almost defying gravity and life itself as it remains unsupported by anything material in value each day that passes. Most wolves that come here slink up the back trail that weaves into the cliffside, almost invisible to newcommers in this land. Standing on this high point is simply stunning at night; a romantic spot of meeting for most who visit it's graceful posture. It marks the most southwestern border and is known to be quite a trek from anywhere within relative distance.
If a wolf follows the narrow strip of trail between the Schreien Forest and the Hängen Mesa, it would lead them to an open dirt ground, overwhelmingly coated with the stench of sweat, feces, and urine. This area is a depression in the land, with high, almost canyon-like walls that keep the slaves entrapped here. At the furthest point from the forest, is a rock that towers above the rest, where new slaves are paraded onto and sold off. It's a nasty business, but most wolves that are here seem to used to such treatment; from the beating of one slave to the lustful watch of a dominor to a weaker, yet attractive female. Wolves that are forced into slavery are typically assessed on condition before being sold, but no one clings to the old rules anymore.
| bring your wolf here to either be sold, or to claim/sell a slave |
Between the tall peaks of Ravenbruck's one and only mountain range, this waterfall can be heard for miles. It drops off a staggering peak from the above mountains and plummets to earth, creating a dazzling effect when under the sun's bright rays. Wolves wanting to impress their amour might bring them here for the night-time sunfall or a morning sunrise. It remains as one of the most reserved places in Ravensbruck; it does not have a pack to call it's own and most of the wolves around these parts intend to keep it that way. It is said that Iudex made the waterfall out of his tears, as a gift to his mate, Eperna.
Positioned in the most central portion of Ravensbrück's high sloped valley, the Alphas of each pack retire here for a day's time to dicuss the future of the growing population and to make arrangements for their country's well being. Where the masters, or dominors as they are called, meet is a shaded area, heavily rumored about in exact location. It is, however, the deepest part of the valley that they reside, lush in grasses even in midst of the hottest season. A small river from somewhere north trickles through, forming a small, calm pool in the center of the valley.
From within the valley comes the snarling of wolves and the growls and challenges of one dominor to another. Here is the place where battles are started and finished, where pack leaders are created and destroyed. When two wolves challenge, all the alphas gather around to watch and cheer on the fighting wolves, adding a certain air of violence to the surrounding area. This isn't a place for the weak of heart; blood from past losses is scattered unsparingly on the grass below and the ravens, vultures, and other scavenger birds wait for their next meal.
If a wolf wandered the country side heading directly East from where the path through the Schreien Forest ends, they would eventually find themselves in rolling sand dunes that led to the endless ocean. The Freiheit Shores they are called, in reference to the Frieor title, for this is a sancutary for all free wolves; most come here to experience the surf and crashing of white capped waves or just to have an enjoyable afternoon. Wolves of all sorts can be found frisking through the waves or hiding personal valuables in the sand; if one searches hard enough they might just find some buried treasure lurking underneath the sandy depths. Either way, it is beautiful here, a true summer paradise.
Tucked into the underside of the Hängen Mesa, this is the largest forest in Ravensbrück, stretching far on each side of the large rock mass. Inside the forest is a path that leads to the Auktion Rock. Most wolves don't venture in here due to the low visibility, especially at night. There is a certain sinking feeling wolves report they begin to feel when they journey deep into the depths of the Forest, almost as if someone is watching them. Regardless, some males still steal away females and have their way with them in the darkness and cover that the woods provide. Others stay far away, not wishing to get lost or worse inside the deep canopy of leaves.
Deep in the Northeastern woods resides the royal Koravelle Pack, the Tsarrins of Ravensbrück. They are the leader's pack, born to rule and place rules on the rest of the country. It is rare that they visit the other packs, although they travel the country often, making trips to the Auktion Rock almost every moon. They are a very secretive pack, preferring to live away from the others. Outsiders are not welcome and are usually killed on the spot if seen wandering in the territory without permission.
Whenever the lead Tsarrins call a meeting of the alphas or all wolves, this is where the meeting is held. Surrounded by a thick line of trees, the clearing is a large expanse of the greenest grass, centered around a large pile of heavy boulders. From the top of the rock pile the leaders can speak clearly for all to hear. All major pack regulations are announced here by the King and Queen Tsarrin. Wolves with questions or complaints can bring their problems here to meet with the rulers themselves. It is customary that all one year old wolves be brought and presented to the royal pair around their birthday. Whenever wolves become mates it is also respectful for them to visit the cliff and announce their new life to the Ravensbrück leaders.

On the outskirts of the main Koravelle territory is a small meadow. It's surrounded by large willow trees and a very small creek and is usually found to be empty. It's a sort of refugee for expectant mothers who are ready to birth their pups. It's close enough that the mother-to-bes can easily make a trip to the Treffen Cliff to announce their litter's arrival, and secluded enough to give extra privacy and security. Most of all, this land is protected by the Koravelle pack, so anyone found here will be safe, at least for a few hours. It's a type of wolf sanctuary, deep and mysterious to all who visit.

REIGNING PACKS
The Eastern-most pack of Ravensbrück's land, Dürkell is a sight to behold. Less dense than the Regnen pack, the trees litter the grounds, sweeping together to make up the home of this larger pack. It is pretty here, not yet beautiful but not by any means ugly either, simply caught in between. The land isn't hard to find ones way around, and the grasses provide much room for hiding, a secret that could go unnoticed by the wolves here if a slave needs a resting spot for the night's runaway.
The center-most pack along with one of the smaller ones, Einheit is a barren wasteland, rocks and pebbles of all sorts making up this rough terrain. It is the driest land, a hard-cracked floor where grass should be. The only water is the small stream that runs south towards the Dominor Pakt lands, and the pack thrives because of that stream. They have learned to catch fish and survive on the smallest hares and thinnest deers that run through the terrain.
This land is situated on the right side of the Känzeln Falls, an area of dried grasses and deep valley meadows. It is plentiful in prey and blessed with much sunlight, alluding to the reason that so much greenery can be found here, dripping over the fall's edge and spilling into the territory. Garbed in soft meadow grasses, the land here is very flat and sight is crucial when hunting in the pack. Overall, this section of the country is quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the Aucktion Rock or any other gathering place.
When a wolf leaves the Auktion Rock and takes the winding path through Schreien Forest back home, he will immediately run into the territory of the Gröavche pack. Swampy, almost a marsh, this land is not for the soft of heart; life is hard and the pickings for food slim. This pack is large but hard to feed and many go hungry at night. The Alphas do their best and resent the prosperity that laces their neighbors--the Regnen. Many fights have been fought between the two based on just land and the prey available.
One of the bigger packs, Regnen is a denser territory in regards to the trees, but still beautiful with the soft roar of the falls in the background. The pack meets at the fall's edge at times for the introduction of a new pack member or the ceremony of a new born litter. This terrain has been fought over much, not only for the beautiful scenery, but also for the caves that serve as dens for the pack. Carved out of the mountainside, they keep this proud pack out of the most horrendous elements. Plentiful of prey, they are the most well-off pack, the coveted of the rest.
Meaning "North", Norden is settled at the very top of the territory expanse, a rich forest that borders the woods of Dürkell. The wood is thin and sparse, with a population of meadow grass being more prominent than the trees. It is very foggy in the early mornings and is known for the deer that travel through at dawn.
Meaning "South", Süden is placed farthest below the other territories, bordering the Schreien Forest. It is known for being one of the densest lands, marked with thick bushes and a large assortment of trees. It can be hard for outsiders to navigate; there is a small strand of rumors that say the forest changes layout based on the Alpha's wills.
