“Do you perhaps know of a few Wolf-Born who are looking for a pack?” You ask her, and the black she-wolf sits down, searching her brain for answers.

“I believe there was a small, chocolate brown female with a pup no older than 8 a small distance from here.. I believe they’re somewhere east of here..
And there’s a strong lone male wolf near the Khione grounds. I believe he was a former Greyback, though. His name is ‘Intuos’, and he’s grey with dark-grey, almost black feet and a dark-grey, near-black nose stripe. You’ll recognize him when you see him. No way you’d miss those blue eyes.” She says, and you nod.

 “There are a lot of unhappy wolves with the Greybacks.. You’ll always find one there. But be careful. The Greybacks are no pushovers, and they’ll readily attack any strange wolf on their territory. I’m surprised Intuos wasn’t attacked by his former pack.. They’re usually surprisingly vicious towards deserters..”

If Intuos really used to be a part of the Greybacks, then inviting him into your pack might actually spell more trouble for the both of you.

“You should just try searching for a few lone wolves..” The black she-wolf points at the snowy pine forests in the Wolf-Born land.

“You’ll find the Khione there.”

She points at the snow-covered plains next, saying “Stormrunners”, and then, at the deciduous forest and then, the forests close to the mountains north of here.

“Tachaeia, and the Greybacks.”
“I see.. Thanks.” You answer her, and she curtly nods at you, before sending a glance at the sky.

“If you want to outrun the storm, you should go now. The Khione might offer you shelter from the storm.”
She’s right. With a slow, acknowledging nod, which she returns, you turn away from her, and bound into the Wolf-Born Land..

Where will you go?

• The Khione
• The Stormrunners
• The Tachaeia
• The Greybacks
