Nith or "The Wolf" was a Lupus Arcana (Minor), as well as the first recorded member of an Arcana (Minor) species, whose interactions with two scavengers shortly before his death would foreshadow many years of tense relations between the emergent Arcana creatures and the civilized races of the world.
Discovery
Discovered by Scavengers Simon Tully and Throdrid Bonedigger in 1023 while hiking the wilderness towards the capitol of Urushee, Nith approached them and communicated in Elven that it had been severely wounded in a fight with non-Arcana members of its pack that had come to oppose its designation as the Alpha Male. Referring to himself as Nith, it was eventually able to gain the trust of the Scavengers after an extended tense confrontation that reportedly lasted four hours, during which they attempted to gain assurance that they were not being tricked by fey, or a species of local carnivorous Altered legend that was rumoured to take the shape of other beings.
Death
By the time the two Scavengers had decided to trust Nith, the state of its wounds had become much too severe for it to fully move by itself. Despite their best efforts to halt the progression of these injuries, the wolf would succumb later that evening, after recounting its life and kin to the Human and Dwarf scavengers.
History
In their recounting of the incident, the Scavengers claimed that Nith was not aware of why he had developed such heightened sentience, possessing it since birth, and had been able to lead his pack successfully, leading them to safe shelter in an increasingly hostile environment in the Urushee forests. Making contact with a nearby settlement descended from Urusheen refugees who had chosen to stay in their home nation, Nith had befriended an Elven child after previous attempts to communicate with the locals resulted in panic and distrust towards the Wolf following local legends.
