Archetype

Jungian archetypeThe Guardian

The animal companion as threshold guardian: silent, loyal, and the first to smell corruption on the wind.

The story

Fenwynn protects the balance of the Whispering Woods as surely as Veylara does. When a shadow spirit twisted a stag into a red-eyed monster with antlers like spikes, Fenwynn tracked it to the heart of the forest, danced around its charges, and tore the pulsing darkness out of its chest. The spirit clawed at his mind as it died; his bond to the forest held.

He whines when Veylara grieves, growls before she senses danger, and fades into the mist like a wisp when she leaves.

Appearance

A large wolf with silver-white fur and glowing amber eyes, moving so lightly he leaves no trace.

Signature

An empathic bond with Veylara and jaws that can close on a shadow spirit's heart.
