Amarok

Amarok is the totem, or chief divine, of the Luitolf Clan. He also makes up one half of the Twin Divines that watches over all Atravia and together represent unity of the tribe. To the Luitolf Clan, and the Atrav Tibe as a whole, he represents leaderhip, protection, and physical strength. He most often venerated by those within the Luitolf Clan, various hunters and warriors, and those who are members of the Army of Atravia, which takes its name after him. They are known as the Amarok's Chosen. He rarely manifests to his people directly, but when he does, he is almost always in the form of a gigantic wolf with gray fur and piercing eyes of molten gold. Sometimes his teeth drip with the blood, often seen as being from enemies foolish enough to threated his people. Some members of the Atrav tribe, particularly the Luitolf Clan, claim to have recieved messages from wolves in the wilderness. These are usually in the form of stolen livestock or gifted kills. The faithful say that these are Amarok's way of showing warning or mercy depending on the situation. Amarok's mercy may be wonderful, but his wrath can equally be a terrible thing to those that earn his ire. There are age old tales that speak of entire settlements being ravaged by uncountable wolves after their inhabitants angered Amarok. While these stories are considered myths by some, they are held to be true by those who are devout. They teach that the quickest way to earn this fate is to humiliate weaker opponents in combat, revel in cowardice, killing animals for sport, or killing wolves outside the sacrificial rite without repentance.
