Your pack’s own lore, told over Wolvden · an add-on for Twill
beta 0.5.0Field Guide: Canto, a tester introduction
Every pack has its tales. Canto lets you write yours in one file and see it on Wolvden: your own words softly underlined with their meanings, your bloodlines glowing on your den, families named when two lines meet, a calendar in your own season names, and the names you’ve saved for pups waiting beside the rename box.
It sits on top of Twill, so you need Twill installed first.
Thank you for testing it. This page gets you set up, gives you a list of things to try, and says how to send what you find.
Canto is an add-on, so install Twill first if you haven’t. Its stag should be in the corner of every Wolvden page.
With Tampermonkey in place, this one link is the whole install:
Tampermonkey shows you the script with an Install button. Press it, then reload Wolvden. A small campfire sits just above Twill’s stag. Click it, or press Alt+C.
Ctrl+S.Open the hub and go to Files. Load your own lore file, start a new pack and build it inside Canto, or try the sample pack below.
Nothing to do. Tampermonkey checks for a new version on its own and updates you, the same as Twill. Everything you’ve written stays where it is. If you installed version 0.1.0, click the install link once more: from 0.1.1 on, Canto keeps itself up to date.
Hollowmere is a made-up pack for trying things out. Download it, or copy it into a plain text file saved as hollowmere-lore.md, and load it in Files. Its wolf IDs won’t match yours, so give a few of your own wolves its lines from their pages.

Pups learn to fish before they learn to hunt. #### Who leads The alpha is chosen at the *Ember Walk*, when the last of Ashfall burns low. Any wolf may stand, but only one walks the whole ridge before dawn. #### What they keep - the Ember Walk, every late Ashfall - the First Frost Howl, on the first day of Deepcold - the names of every alpha, kept by the Storykeeper ### Hollow The first wolves of the valley. Hollow wolves are quiet, patient fishers, and the first to hear the river change. ### History › The river froze In the third Deepcold the river froze so hard the pack crossed it to the far bank, and found the burnt ridge where the Ashen live.
Every section is optional. Anything you change inside Canto goes back to your file with Save my lore file or Copy what changed, both in Files.
| # and Kept by | Your pack’s name, and whose file it is. |
| Language | Word: meaning, with an optional indented line for how to say it, what kind of word it is, and words to see as well. |
| Lines | Name: #colour, meaning. The colour is the ring your wolves wear on the den. |
| Families | Hollow + Ashen = Emberfall. A family is a line of its own and can meet another later. |
| Wolves | Name (wolf ID): line, role, born late Ashfall, Year 4. Any part can be left out. |
| Roles | A plain list: Alpha, Healer, Scout. |
| Calendar | How years are counted, your season names, then events: Every year, late Ashfall: the Ember Walk or Deepcold, Year 3: the river froze. |
| Names | Names waiting for pups, on their own or for a line: Hollow: Fern, Ash. |
Tick things off as you go; your ticks stay in this browser. You don’t need to do it all at once, and anything that confuses you is worth reporting too.
Post in #beta-test, under the Twill category on the Society of Fur Discord, or message Fallowe directly. For anything that looks broken, please include:
Ideas and wishes are just as welcome as bugs. Say what you were trying to do, not only what you wanted Canto to have.
Only on your own pages: your den and your own wolves. Other people’s pages stay as they wrote them.
Wolvden only shows a wolf’s parents on its Family page. Open that once and Canto remembers who the parents are, then offers the family there and on the pup’s own card.
If you count years by one wolf’s age, Canto reads that age from the wolf’s page, because rollovers are your own. Open that wolf now and then. Counting by Wolvden’s seasons moves on its own.
Yes. Load as many files as you like and swap between them at the top of the hub. One is in use at a time.
Sub-lines within a line, wolf birthdays on the calendar, and names tied to a sex or season.
