The pack was named after Kintla lake, but the lake itself was named for one of the founders of the pack, Kintla. Originally the pack name was different. It can be assumed that one of Kintla's descendants changed the name of the pack to honor their ancestor long ago. The lake that it was assumed the pack was named for is the largest in the territory, and one of several lakes. It's vast surface is a rich, glassy blue, the sign of deep waters. If wolves could swim then they would know just how deep; it reaches at least one thousand feet down, if not more in some places. Hundreds of species of fish can be found in the lake that is surrounded by rish forests and small mountains. Kintla lake is the gemstone of the packlands. Any visitors are first brought to this lake, which is considered to also embody the spirit of Kintla herself, for approval by the pack leader. Only when the pack feels that Kintla has accepted them may they be accepted into the pack.

Quartz lake is fairly small in comparison to the larger lakes in Kintla territory. No one is sure why it was named quartz, since there is no quartz here. Nothing in the pack lore even says anything about the name. However, most of the lake is very rocky and very shallow, meaning that there is very little in the way of fish in the lake. That doesn't make it a bad lake. There is a lot of marshland around it, as well as forested areas, that offer a place for animals to thrive. On the western shore of the lake there are a few rocky hills. it is in these hills that the pack makes it's dens; the hils are protective and the rocky slopes make it hard to get to the dens. The lake provides game that nourishes the pack, and it is close enough that hunting parties do not have to travel far to find it. The den site does have one or two weaknesses; coyotes, bears, and birds of prey are also common in the area, providing competition for resources and dangers for pups.
