Homebrew Fenrir Species Details

Wolves of the frigid north
The fenrir live in the harsh environments of the cold north. and have a strong connection the the spirits and natural wildlife that live there. They are ferocious hunters and wise shamans that live in harmony with the elements and nature. the result is a traditionalist and isolationist society that disdains the "civilized" outsiders of the flatlands. To the Fenrir even controlling the ways of magic through books, study and draconic knowledge is against the natural order of things. And its direct manipulation by celestials or fiends is abominable. Fenrir who do travel, are slightly more open minded, and see how the ways of the outside world can be used to enhance their own lifestyle.

Farstriders and relentless challengers
The Fenrir always wish to prove themselves against the outside world. with almost limitless pride and a healthy amount of confidence, they challenge the foremost spellcasters, warriors and artisans to their craft. Searching far and wide to prove not only themselves, but their ways against that of the lowlanders. In turn, they respect masters and teachers, seeing them as wise elders who have much to teach them. As a result, finding Fenrir in temples, academies or taking root as apprentices is not uncommon.

Spirits and Ancient ways
The Fenrir believe in seniority and wisdom as prerequisites for respect. As such spirits and ancestors whose voices remain to teach and guide are deserving of the ultimate respect. Fenrir will always ask for an elders advice, and trust the word of spirits or the guidance of their ancestors. However, not all spirits are benign, and young Fenrir have been known to fall for their deceptions.
