Skoll, Ridge Howler – The Frostpeak Wolf

Skoll, Ridge Howler – The Frostpeak Wolf

Beast (Companion)

Seated firmly atop a fractured crag with muzzle upturned toward the sky, this mountain wolf sends an echoing howl across windswept heights. Sculpted with a sweeping, lion-like mane of thick winter fur and heavy claws gripping bare rock, the Artifact brings striking vertical posture and untamed wilderness presence to the table mat. For Keepers, it commands attention as an alert pack leader, a loyal beast companion navigating frozen trails, or an evocative harbinger of an oncoming mountain raid.

Tabletop Lore

High along the rim of perpetual snowfields, ridge wolves roam where few prey animals survive the bitter frost. Moving with effortless certainty across icy talus and jagged scree, these vigilant predators communicate across miles of echoing canyons through deep, resonant howls that marshal the pack. Wayfarers who brave high alpine passes revere their endurance and keen awareness, while solitary rangers and northern shamans form enduring bonds with these noble beasts, relying on their instincts to guide safe transit through blizzards and past hidden precipices.

Highlight

The dramatic, skyward-facing howl silhouette paired with an elevated stone outcrop provides exceptional tabletop verticality, instantly signaling narrative tension and wilderness flavor across the combat grid.
