Wolf Culture

Volkian wolves have a culture, of which in some charactaristics is similar to humans.

Household Items
Wolves have furniture similar to that of humans, but built in different ways.

Volkian tables vary, from trunks cut in half to large, square boxes. They occasionally have carved or painted artwork and embedded decorations, ranging from a different type of wood, bone, to metals. Seating varies, but is commonly wood, reed, or wool cut or weaved into a circular shape. Additionally, tables may contain squares cut where seats should be, allowing for legroom and storage space. Shelves may also be present.

Outfits
Wolves who work as farmers usually have hats made out of hay and twigs usually in the shape of a flat cone, of which the flatness depends on how rich the farmer is.

Shopkeepers have a wooden band around their torso, of which is covered in fabric. The fabric on the band has pockets, held up by tiny twigs to give it's form. They use these to hold items that they are selling (If there isn't enough room on the stall or they don't have one), or to hold the items that they were bartered for.

Guards, soldiers, knights and other occupations requiring protection or attacking always have armor on, made out of stone or metal and held to the body with leather straps. There has to be a helmet, a thick leather strap protecting the back of the neck, and armor on the torso and legs, of which are connected by leather straps where the joints are, so that the wolves have more freedom in their movement.

Royal wolves usually have different outfits depending on their pack or if they are at war, but most of them have a crown, jewellry of some sorts, and fabric on their backs or torso. When they are in war time or are needed to go in a more populated location, they usually wear armor, in similar style to their guard's, but more shiny and lavish.

Accesories and items
Wolves have hats, bracelets, blankets, and other clothing pieces like humans. Instead, necklaces and bracelets are normally bands, of either leather, wood, or stone. However, there are still accessories that are made from string, which hold other objects. These bracelets usually show off what pack they come from, using items commonly found there (Seastars for Water wolves, leaves or seeds for Nature wolves, bone for Fire wolves, etc..)

Wolves are also known to create things, either with actual use or just decoration. Examples are painted turtle shells and flutes made out of bone, usually out of a bird's. They also create statues of important figures, such as Volnega, Downfall, or Uprise. Wolves are also shown to know how to create their own version of paper.

Language
The current wolf language is named Volkark. To other animals, it sounds like whimpers, barks, and clicks.

There used to be an old language called Wolf Latin. Words that are now in Volkark originate from Wolf Latin. During the time when wolves spoke the language, their words still had hints of barking and growling. It sounds like how modern wolves communicate today (In the real world)

Old Wolf Culture
When wolves first discovered Volki and started to build permanent settlements, they began to develop their own culture. Their technological advancements first exploded in the Volnega Era (5,500 years ago), and a second time in the present.

The most richest of wolves during this time period had crafted wings of their own, to show wealth and freedom. It held onto a wolf's shoulder, and it was connected to the back by an attachment. The wing itself had real bird feathers, usually of different species, and it was held up by stick-like structures.
