    Let the hunt begin!

    he Wolf rules the wilderness and haunts the imagina-tion of men since the dawn of time.

    he wolfen are the fiercest predators on Aarklash.Born from the union of Yllia, the moon goddess, and themost majestic of all wolves, they roam their vast huntinggrounds and travel the Paths of Destiny with great confi-dence. Guided by their insti ncts and proud of their ancient

    traditions, the wolfen have always stood against the cor-ruption brought by the civilizations of Light and Darkness.he Wolf is the guardian of nature and it makes sure thelaw of the strongest is enforced.

    Much like their wolf cousins, the wolfen live in packs.Some of these packs, the sedentary packs, share huge terri-tories in the middle of which mysterious stone circles stand.hese sanctuaries, standing testimony to the apparitionof the moon goddess and used as celestial observatories,are at the heart of Wolf culture: these places are where thewolfen celebrate their rites, where they share their secretsand where they bury their dead. Few are those allowed toapproach without triggering the ire of the wolfen. Any tres-passing is considered a declaration of war.

    he hour of the Ragnarok, the wa r of the gods, has come.he enemies of the Wolf have raised their banners to con-quer Aarklash and the remaining regions of wilderness.Answering Yllias call, the sedentary packs have musteredtheir warriors and are leaping into the ultimate battle. heorder of nature must be preserved and the enemies of theWolf ought to be taught their true place: that of the prey.hus is the law of nature, the law of the strongest!

    You will find in t his publication every element you willneed to play an army of the sedentary packs.

    Universeexplains how the wolfen understand the Ragna-rok. You will also find a short summary of the history of thisarmy as well as a presentation of its territory.

    UNIVERSE

    Te largest groups of wolfen are the sedentary packs. Unitedby an orally transmitted culture and a territory they believe to

    be sacred, they raise stone circles and protect locations blessedby Yllia, the moon goddess. Tese known sanctuaries hold greatpowers. Some of these places have long been abandoned, butsome are still inhabited, living testimony to the evolution andhistory of the wolfen.

    Sedentary packs consider themselves the guardians of thesesacred territories, but also the keepers of the wildlife thrivingthere. Tey are also in charge of making sure magical beingsfind shelter in their territory.

    Due to their similar ways and traditions, they also harbor intheir ranks some fighters from the forest sprite communities.Tese creatures may be frail sylvan anims or fayrees, but theyshare the will of the wolfen to preserve their habitat and to coo-perate to fight the forces threatening Creation.
