You come from a unique culture and civilisation, those that have grown up alongside dire wolves for generations. Only the most worthy are chosen to become Wolfbound, and are forever marked, soul and spirit. This bond transcends the blood of family and friend – your wolf is the other half of your soul, once split and now united. Being Wolfbound grants you status amongst your people, but confusion and fear should you travel away.

Feature: Eyes of the Wolf
Nothing could have prepared you for the reception upon leaving your wild yet familiar home. Wolves, let alone ones as large as yours, are rarely seen outside of the mountains. Not only that, but your yellow eyes are off-putting, and the tattoos that denote your clan unfamiliar. You are able to make intimidation checks with advantage while your wolf is next to you, and you may use your Strength modifier to do so.
