Wolves of Martapa

Wolves are an important part of my life and thus it bleeds into my stories just a wee bit.  I have Wolf Warriors, wolves show up from time to time in my scenes, and it was thought dragons use to turn themselves into wolves because Amber Blackwolf, one of the Chosen, was a Wolf Warrior.  So here are a few notes on wolves that you might be able to use in a campaign.

1) Wolves look like your standard timber wolves you would find in North America.  They can be anywhere from gray to black.
2) They live in packs as they would in North America and make dens in the same way.
3)Waya, Goddess of Animals, has chosen this form as her favorite avatar.  (For those who don't know Cherokee, Waya [prounounced wah-yah] is wolf...imagine that).
4)As I mentioned, the dragons liked to change into wolf form when Amber was around, because of her connection with the Wolf Warriors.
5)Wolves are neutral, in terms of game terms, but there is such a bond of wolves and elves in Tridon, even though many have not been near elves in a long time, that wolves will tend to help any party with elves in it.  They might not understand why, and maybe the elf won't either, but they will feel compelled to do so if it doesn't greatly endanger them.
