The Ardors
Prologue
Your scout returns from their trek towards the Eastern Coast, with a slight limp and a shallow cut above their eye. They tell you about a wide shoreline, of dusty pink sand and navy seas, and a pack of strange wolves who speak in a strange tongue called "The Dead Language."

Overview
The shoreline territories were marked and patrolled by the Ardors, a group of wolves with aloof and aggressive tendencies. Their coats of russet, fog tones and cream. They value seashells, iridescent stones and mementoes of creatures from long ago. The oddest quirk of this pack is its multiple sects, one being a group of wolves who are discouraged from leaving the camp grounds. This group, known as the Humors spend their time painstakingly craving wood into usable planks for rafts using their bare claws or sharpened stones.
The pact is currently being led by Capien. Objectively unfit for the role, they seem as mundane and talentless as any other wolf. Their only call to fame being their suspicious yet deductive reasonings and unmatched tenacity. The other wolves see Capien as equally a dictator and hero. For the past couple of years, their decisions were guided by a mentor-like figured known as Amarone.
