Goldrinn Character in Toriel | World Anvil

Goldrinn

God of ferocity, savagery, and unyielding will

Goldrinn, also known as Lo'Gosh ("Ghost Wolf"), is a God who takes the form of a monstrously powerful white wolf. He embodies ferocity, savagery, and an unyielding will, and legends tell that he possesses unparalleled rage and fury. His is the spirit of the hunter, the animal instinct that kicks in when wild things smell food or feel their children are in jeopardy.  

Worship

Goldrinn is known across all cultures and, has appeared in many forms on Toriel. His legend extends throughout Toriel. Worshiped as an Ancient Guardian by the elves, numerous know him as Lo'Gosh. Goblins, and dwarves all have their own versions of the legend. Each tale tells of how the wolf god's unyielding will and ferocity enable him to push through the boundaries of the afterlife to aid his people.  

History

From the moment the wild creatures first stirred on Toriel, Goldrinn was there. It was his unwillingness to tame his savagery and bloodlust that overshadowed his noble heart.  

War of the Ancients

During the War of the Ancients, the white ancient wolf slaughtered hundreds of demons. It was during this time that Goldrinn's tenacity became legendary. While others quaked at the sight of the demons hordes, their numbers only spurred the wolf Ancient to ever greater feats of strength. He would wade into the demons' ranks, fangs bared and spattered with their vile ichor, his great claws thrashing them by the dozen. He eventually fell to the demons' great numbers, yet his spirit was said to live on, watching over those he favored.  

Wolfheart

Goldrinn's spirit seems to live on, favoring and inhabiting the human duke, Varian Reiter. It is suspected that Goldrinn not only admired Varian's ferocity, but also his ability to tame it; something he himself was never able to do. Whereas Goldrinn's noble heart was overshadowed by his desire for bloodlust and vengeance, Varian's ferocity was tempered by his desire to protect and uphold justice.
