The Barren Hollows
To the west of the sprawling mountain range lies the remnants of a once large section of a second Taiga forest. Blackened earth and scorched trees is all that remains and many claim it to be lifeless. Yet, the occasional wolf howl and raven call can be heard deep within the heart of the barren wasteland. Perhaps there's more to this forest after all.
After spending days carefully making your path down the ragged cliffside of the mountains you pause for a moment to take in the view. Not far now before you was a sprawling valley that once seemed to be an impressive Taiga forest yet now all that remains is a charred landscape dotted with a few trees that once thrived here being cloaked in a low hanging fog. As you stand there, you can't help but feel like you're being watched and shake out your pelt before continuing down the shoddy pathway.
It takes you another few hours before you're finally in the "forest" proper. The occasional call of ravens and crows could be heard which make you pause again. Scavengers. Something must be living out here if those pesky birds are present. Yet, just as you finish that thought a raven suddenly swoops down and tries to swipe at your face. You're forced to turn your head and narrowly avoid the attack. When you turn back to snap at the creature, you suddenly see a black wolf with eyes that shine like the moonlight itself is constantly caught in them standing before you.
You immediately notice the raven swooping down once more but instead of attacking, it instead lands and settles on the shoulders of the black wolf. She tilts her head a little, observing you before speaking. "Well, it's been quite some time since a traveler has found their way here. I trust you're here for a reason, Outsider?" As she speaks, her voice holds such an elegance and authority. You guess this wolf must be of some high ranking position out here and begin to explain your reasoning.

The black wolf nods, glancing briefly at her raven companion before returning her attention back to you. "Very well. I suppose I can make accommodations for this evening." She states with a brief sigh before turning to lead the way to her pack's rendezvous site. "However, do remember to keep your fangs to yourself while you're here. I'd hate to see yet another wolf be picked apart by the ravens and crows." She adds as she walks. Her tone was darker this time; A subtle threat. The raven resting on her back caws at you as if to drive the point home.
"Follow me, Outsider. I will not help if you get lost on the way." The black wolf beckons when she notices you not following yet and you move quickly to catch up with this mysterious wolf.

This is actually the pack/area that Adaleni and Souren came from in my lore! I'm dusting off some very old lore with this group. Lol Ithelan was also one of the wolves that aided in burning down the forest years ago and took a few pages from them, learning how to craft pacts and such briefly.
