We are the Gràdhfurs*, a therian-pack with its center of activity around the area of Leipzig in Saxony, Germany.
(But in some exceptions we have members all over Germany)
We strive to build a close and supportive community of like-minded individuals who feel alone, misunderstood and persecuted among the human population, and who want want to establish contact and spend time with beings of their kind.
*pronounced (phonetic): /graːˈfɜː/

As already mentioned above, we aim to create and keep a tightly knit group of therians functioning like a family. No people passing through, so swift acquaintances. Friendships and bonds build here are supposed to last long periods of time, if not a lifetime.
If you are not interested in that kind of social environment, then our pack is not for you :3
Also, our pack does feature of a "hierarchy" of sorts, but it exists only for the sake of administration, organised planning, and distribution of tasks and responsibility! If you want to read our reasoning for the existence of these "ranks", you will find information on the respective page.
In the pack's everyday life, all members are fundamentally equal!
Our crest may only depict wolves, however we do accept every theriotype! No matter whether deer, rabbit, crow, wolf, fox, fish, owl, ... We are glad about every new member to our family! Furthermore, we are accepting of LGBTQ+ and we are not rejective of systems (DID/OSDD) as well. Since the inception of our pack on the 6th of February 2023, quite a few beings have already found sanctuary in our midst.
The pack may be construed for therians, but otherkin are also welcome!
Usually we try to meet up regularly and often. Finding encouragement online is consoling, but its an entirely different thing to actually be able to undertake activites with the pack and find peace and comfort in such proximity.
Participating in meetups is never obligatory! Everyone can decide individually whether to take part in certain meetings or not :3
Aside from meetups, there are lots of other activities and possibilities to interact with fellow members! On our discord server you can engage in casual chat with the others as well as talk about many different topics, for example spirituality/therianthropy/sexuality, tips and tricks for quadrobics, vocals and gear, your interests and fixations or your favourite memes. If you have any personal projects or other cool things you want to showcase, there exist unique areas for that as well! Furthermore, you will always find an open ear for your problems and fears if you need advice or just have to get something off your chest.
And of course we organize amazing movie nights as well as thrilling game nights from time to time! :D
Within the pack we speak English and German (currently English most of the time). It is perfectly fine to be fluent in at least one of those languages. If any heavier problems regarding communication do arise due to a possible language barrier, fear not! We do have members that are fluent in both languages who could always provide assistance.

Our Motivations

⤖ Nox of Gràdhfur ⬻
Alpha, 21, Wolf-Therian
* artistic rendition of physical likeness *
Hello there! I am Nox of Gràdhfur, the Alpha and Founding Father of the Gràdhfur pack. I am a wolf therian, and I have actively known this to be the case for several years now.
In all that time, I have also painstakingly amassed a large knowledge on therianthropy and similar topics for myself.
And if I have learned one thing, it's that a therian in a world ruled by humans is an incredibly lonely and misunderstood being.
The wish to belong and feel safe has always been a strong yearning of mine. However, I was left to my own devices for years on end - and let me tell you, it wasn't pretty. Everything I always wanted was to be among my own
people and experience support, friendship and peace. Sure, I found other therians online. But contact over the internet has always felt distanced and unreal to me. Adding to this, the few communities I could locate were chaotic, contradictory, barely organised, our outright cults set up by power-hungry individuals. In the end, I've never found a proper, reasonable and real pack in my vicinity.
This is how eventually, on the 6th of February 2023, I decided to create my own therian pack.
And first of all, I want to say that I am acutely aware what some other therians think about packs that are structured into certain "ranks". I hear often enough that it is not how real packs in nature work, that only certain species form packs, and that such a behaviour only induces abuse (of power) and other problems.
However, that is not the point.
I want to remind everyone that not everyone of us has the luck and the privilege to be able to find/form a pack which organically originates from an unstructured local friend group. For a centrally organised pack like ours which actively draws attention to itself in order to give an opportunity for community to random lonely therians in our vicinity, an organised structure built on trust and associated tasks is absolutely mandatory. Of course however, in the pack's usual everyday life all members are fundamentally equal.
In light of this I am highly aware that as Alpha, it is my duty to protect and care for those who put their trust in me. When our members face problems and troubles, I will always be the first in line to tackle the issue. I take responsibility so that everyone else of us can live easier lives.
It's what an Alpha is supposed to do. It's a position of responsibility and accountability, not a position of power!
That being said, let me tell you what we are actually trying to build and achieve here! :3
We want to give lonely therians out there the chance to find a community that will accept them and take them in as one of their own. A cozy, warm and supportive family - that's what a pack should always be. A tight unity of incredible beings that could face the world together, no matter what. Every single one of us carries unique experiences, their own views and opinions as well as diverse talents which contribute to the atmosphere in the pack. Our members know there is always someone close-by who will listen, someone that cares and understands.
We vowed to always watch out for one another and to keep our social circle brimming with positivity and an indomitable will to live and prevail. Especially in times like these where the whole world is starting to slip back down into despicable right-wing ideologies, cohesion and integrity within the pack are crucially important.
Furthermore, we also do our very best to combat the spread of misinformation about therianthropy and similar topics. It is always horrifying to see what kind of falsehoods and baseless claims fly around the internet and less organised groups. Lies and made-up infos damage the image of the therian community as a whole as well as the long and difficult journey of newly awakened therians.
Eventually, we plan on weaving a large net of highly organised packs to provide a firm and trustworthy network for therians and otherkin all around Germany - maybe even the world!
