Dread Wolf

"'Heed a nightmare / Of red eyes in the dark, / For I am your fear / Rabid, hungry and patient.'"A fearsome deity worshiped by those bent to a dark purpose. The Dread Wolf appears in many forms; most commonly the frightening visage of a dire wolf. The Dread Wolf is one of the most well-known gods because of his affinity with dreams. Few ever mention his name directly for fear of further visits. Those who revere the Wolf call him He Who Hunts Alone, The Old Wolf and The Great Guide.

The Wolf is a cryptic being who deals in deception and half-truths. His goals are unknown even to his most devoted followers. Those zealots who come close to the truth are said to be rewarded with an eternal after life in the Wolf's favored hunting grounds. Forever sharpening their skills for some future conflict.

Frequently underestimated but never entirely forgotten, the Dread Wolf lingers along the fringes of society. Travelers speak of wolves stalking the trade roads but few suggest antagonistic intent. More often than not they peer from afar, watching--Always watching.
