Ranger Conclave
| “ | "Wulfen has no need for a cleric. I am the arrow of his will." | ” |

A Disciple of Wulfen is a Ranger who has fully embraced his inner predatory instincts and hunts his foes like a quarry. These rangers will always uphold the ideals of Wulfen: enjoy the hunt, promote fertility, and protect the pack. They will plan and strike precisely.
As nobility of their tribes and communities, a Disciple of Wulfen have connections towns and hamlets where they trade furs, firewood, and other materials for essentials. Usually they can get audiences with the leaders and other authority figures in these small towns.
The Disciple of Wulfen is a member of pack hierarchy. Thus, when not found on an adventure, she is typically out hunting, raiding an enemy pack, or in the service of her pack. Those who offer value are always welcoming for a Disciple of Wulfen. Camaraderie and respect and perhaps admiration and awe are gained through taking down dangerous game and achieving trophies.
Only the the most hardy and resourceful members of clans and tribes that are devoted to the mystical wolf can become a Disciple of Wulfen. They are renowned across the lands as shining beacons of strength and cunning. They also tend to be noble of blood and spirit in order to follow this path. To do so is to sacrifice the comforts of a sheltered life and become a military herald of both one's homeland and one's deity, either at home or abroad. No foe can stand before one without feeling some measure of fear.
It is said that the first Disciples of Wulfen arose from the earliest tribes before history was written. According to legend, they were heroes and legends that forged a prosperous time for their tribe with the strength of his bow, his trust in his friends, and the blessing of his god.
A ranger who severely violates the code of conduct of the class or betray its pack can loses her supernatural abilities, and cannot continue to advance as a Disciple of Wulfen until she successfully atone for his sins.
