Wolf's Paw

Thorp, Population: 75

According to the Book:

The farming community of Wolf’s Paw, located in the central region of the northeastern farmland, is one of the relatively few permanent shifter communities in the Reaches. Most shifters either live among the common races in their communities or wander as part of a nomadic tribe that operates more like a wolf pack than the nomads of the Talenta Plains. Those of Wolf’s Paw, however, saw an advantage to settling down and claiming a piece of land for their own. The leader of this shifter farming community is Slara (female shifter), who convinced her pack to stop wandering and work the land. Spiritual guidance comes from Lorgan (male shifter), whose ties to the Wardens of the Wood have proved beneficial to the community on more than one occasion.
In addition to farming, the townsfolk make periodic trips into the forest near Havenglen to hunt for meat. These hunts have an almost religious significance for the community, and many traditions and ceremonies dating back to their time as a nomadic pack find outlets in the forest. The community also possesses a secret that no one outside its ranks is aware of. Slara’s grandsire, the ancient Thorntuft, is actually a werewolf in hiding. A survivor of the Silver Flame inquisitions, Thorntuft rarely ventures far from Slara’s homestead. He is content to sit in the sun and enjoy his role as historian and advisor to the community. Only occasionally does he desire to shift into hybrid or wolf form and do a little hunting of his own—always being careful not to spread the curse during his hunts.

Local Legend- Laignech Fáelad:

Locals will tell all who will listen that the "King of the Wolves", Laignech Fáelad, resides amongst the forests of Havenglen. In years past, this wild monarch would defend villagers and shifters alike, commanding a battalion of wolves to strike bandits as they crept through the forest at night. It is even said that Laignech Fáelad helped the people of the Eldeen Reaches in The Last War, striking back at the Brelish Army and forcing them out of the area. That all ended nearly twenty years ago when the Church of the Silver Flame placed a ward in the woods, preventing the king from returning to his throne.
