About

Rhydan are awakened beasts, possessed of a soul from the Eternal Dance. While the rhydan ancestry in Chapter VIII has certain limits on a rhydan’s beast form, this template can be applied to any beast, as the Game Master sees fit.

Rhy-wolves are particularly found throughout the northern woodlands and mountains of the Western Lands.

They are fierce enemies of Shadow in their territories, protecting their chosen packs. Rhy-wolves are drawn to communities and companionship, often cooperating with forest villages and finding friends and bonded companions among their people.
