Nerith & IronWolf
I’ve been reading about that old forest of Elderglen, where the chronicles say a wolf guardian watched over travelers. Ever wonder if those tales hide any real tricks for surviving in a woods?
I’ve heard those stories, too. What a wolf guardian probably means is that the woods themselves are watching. Pay attention to the tracks, keep your fire low, stay off the main trail if you can, and know the water source. That’s the real trick, not a mystical howl. If you can read the signs and move like the animals, you’ll survive.
Indeed, the forest keeps its own watch, and the real guardians are the tracks and the fire. I’ve found that the quietest paths and the smallest signs are often the safest, and that’s why I spend so much time in quiet study, looking for those old clues.
Nice to hear you’re listening to the woods. Keep a low profile, use the shadows, and remember—if you hear a howl that’s not from a wolf, it’s probably just wind. Stay sharp, stay quiet.
You’re right, the wind’s just a trickster, and the shadows are the best allies I’ve found. I keep a steady pace and let the forest’s own rhythms guide me.
That’s the way to do it—listen to the wind, trust the shadows, and keep moving. It’s the only rhythm that’s actually useful.
