WindHaven is a group of falcon changelings, known as a wing rather than a pack. They're a deeply loyal and highly skilled unit.
Territory[]
They control a large slice of Arizona, sharing the state border with SnowDancer.[1] Primary nest in Arizona, the Grand Canyon
Fly over most of the country. SnowDancer lieutenants Matthias Agrey Garcia and Alexei Vasiliev Harte have spotted them over the Cascade Mountains and Mount Shasta.
“The falcons are making use of the flight treaty,” Matthias said toward the end, his thickly lashed eyes dark and intense. “I’ve seen them flying over my sector.”
“Me, too.” Alexei leaned forward, bracing his arms. . .
Andrew laid out his impressions of the falcon wing. “Good, strong unit,” he said. “Well drilled and trained to work together. The ancestors of the core group formed the wing prior to the Territorial Wars, so they’ve been around several hundred years.”
“Why aren’t they bigger in numbers by now?” Judd asked from his position at the far end of the table.
Hawke was the one who answered. “Birds tend to keep their wings small. I think it has to do with ensuring enough open sky, though I’ve heard they stay in close contact with other wings across the country.”
“Hawke’s right,” Andrew said, even as his wolf picked out Indigo’s scent from all the other threads in the room and rolled around in it like a pup. “I asked Adam, their wing leader, about that. He says their flight paths often overlap, so it makes sense to keep things pleasant. But the end result is that while WindHaven might not be huge, we ally with them, we gain access to a network of wings across the country.” (Play of Passion (book))
