Blackheath

Blackheath is the name of the pack of wolves that invade Wyldwood in Chapter 1, although it is also a fictitious heath in Minnesota from whence they are their name originate.

HISTORY
Near the beginning of Chapter 1, a small party of Blackheath scouts discover Wyldwood and attack the Snowpaw. Although the Snowpaw manage to beat them back, their Alpha is killed by the Blackheath's Omega, their weakest wolf.

Later on in the story, the Blackheath return full force with their leader, Uriah, and his mate, Malady. Malady wreaks havoc among the Snowpaw, and easily lures Sol and Music into a trap, but they are saved by the timely arrival of Syn and Hail. During this battle, Syn speaks for the first time in the series, and Malady is knocked over a cliff and presumed dead. Uriah retaliates furiously and actually manages to take over Wyldwood, but Sol and a few others win it back with the aid of the town dogs. During this battle, Music sneaks up on Uriah and kills him with a maneuver Malady invented involving piercing the jugular from behind. Leaderless, the Blackheath scatter, leaving behind Uriah and Malady's only surviving pup, Shadow.
